3. Remove the front hardware holding the library on the
pallet:
a. Using a #2 Phillips screw driver, remove the
crosspiece screws.
b. Lifting one end of the crosspiece at a time, use the 9/
16” wrench to remove the bolts and hold-down

pallet, move the library back just far enough to lift
the front crosspiece out.

two leveling legs at least to the wheel tops
(Figure 7).
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.
AVERTISSEMENT: la plupart des poids d'une
bibliothèque est située à l'arrière. Si les pieds de
nivellement ne sont pas élevés assez haut, ils peuvent
prendre au bas de la rampe et faire basculer la bibliothèque.
5. Using two people, carefully move the library down the
ramps and onto the floor.
CAUTION: To prevent damage, do not pull on the media
drawer handles at any time while moving the library.
Attach the Front Doors
Before moving the library to its final operating position,
attach the doors.
CAUTION: The holes used to attach the NEO 8000e front
doors are self-tapping. Care must be exercised during the
attachment of the front library doors. If the screws are
overtightened, the hole may strip. Hand tighten only.
NOTE: The square, straight end of the door is the top and the
curved end is the bottom.
1. Remove the two doors from the DOOR shipping box
and extract them from their plastic shipping bags.
2. Using the supplied Phillips screws, attach the left door
hinges to the frame (Figure 8).
3. Repeat Step 2 for the right door.

Position and Level the Library
Move the library into its final position and level it:
CAUTION: To prevent damage, do not pull on the media
drawer handles at any time while 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 leveling
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 (Figure 9).
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.
Figure 9. Positioning the Level
Remove the Drawer Brackets
Once the library is in position, use a #2 Phillips stubby or
offset screwdriver to remove the six drawer shipping
brackets located inside the doors (Figure 10) on the side trim
pieces. Replace the screws back into the trim pieces and
retain the brackets with the shipping carton.
