3. Remove the front hardware holding the library on the
pallet.
a. Use the 9/16” wrench to remove the bolts and
hold-down brackets.
Lift the front crossbar ends, as needed, for access.
b. Carefully roll the library back 1.25” (3cm) and
remove the front crossbar.
c. Use the adjustable wrench to loosen and raise the
two leveling legs (Figure 6).
4. Verify that all four leveling legs can clear the floor at
the bottom of the ramp and that the library is only
supported by the four caster wheels.
WARNING: Most of the weight of a library is located
in the rear. If the leveling legs are not raised high
enough, they can catch at the bottom of the ramps,
tipping over the library.
5. Carefully move the library down the ramps and onto
the floor.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the media drawer handles
when moving the library.
Before moving the library to its final operating position,
attach the doors.
1. Reattach the back door to the rear of the library.
2. Remove the two doors from the Door shipping box;
then, remove them from their plastic shipping bags.
NOTE: The square, straight end of the door is the top and the
curved end is the bottom.
3. Locate the bag of nylon washers taped inside one of
the doors.
The washers are used as bearings between the hinges.
4. Attach the left door (Figure 7).
a. Lift the top hinge pin just enough to retract the tip
into the left door’s hinge block.
b. Place one nylon washer onto the bottom hinge pin
that protrudes below the door hinge block.
It is held in place by the hinge pin’s ball retainer.
c. Position the door vertically with the bottom hinge
pin above the library hinge block hole and seat it.
d. Raise the door slightly, push down the top hinge.
pin slightly, and place a nylon washer onto it.
It is held in place by the hinge pin’s ball retainer.

e. Lower the door so that the top hinge pin is above
the library hinge block hole and seat it.
5. Check the door to make sure it closes smoothly, yet is
held firmly.
6. If the door does not close as described in Step 5, adjust
it for alignment and operation:
a. Using the flat-blade offset screwdriver, unscrew the
door checks in both left library hinge blocks until
the door closes freely (Figure 7 on page 3).
b. Close the door and check that the top edge of the
door meets the front panel façade evenly.
•If the door is low, add washers to raise the door.
•If the door is high, remove the top washer.
CAUTION: The weight of the door should be
carried by at least one hinge with a nylon washer
(i.e., there must be at least one washer).
c. When the door height is correct, screw in the door
checks until the door closes smoothly, yet is held
firmly.
7. Repeat Steps 4–5 for the right door; if needed,
repeat Step 6.
Move the library into its final position and level it:
CAUTION: Do not pull on the media drawer handles
when moving the library.
1. Position the library at its operating location.
2. Run down all four leveling legs by hand until they
contact the floor.
3. Using the 10” adjustable wrench, turn each leg, one
after the other in equal increments, until you have
turned them at least one full turn.
NOTE: Be sure the library has been raised high enough so
none of the casters touch the floor.
4. Place the level, front to rear, on the top side edge of
the library (see Figure 8).
5. Note the position of the bubble. Raise both of the front
legs or both of the rear legs the same amount to
achieve a level front-to-rear reading.
6. Place the level across the top front edge of the library.
7. Note the position of the bubble. Raise both of the left
feet or both of the right feet the same amount to
achieve a level side-to-side reading.
8. Recheck the level from front-to-rear and from
side-to-side. Adjust as needed until the library is level.
