OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
HOW TO LEVEL THE MASTERFILE
The MasterFile pins and posts are aligned by
leveling, as follows. After placing your MasterFile
in position, raise lid and pull the drawer
completely open.
Unscrew and remove E Stabilizer Knobs at
bottom of cabinet. Slide the Stabilizer Tube out
to align holes with one of the numbered holes
shown. Use hole #2 for vellum; hole #3 for film
up to 3-mil; hole #4 for film over 3-mil. Or, set
at hole #4 for all applications. Insert Stabilizer
Knob into appropriate hole and tighten.
Do not pull the Stabilizer Tube out beyond
hole location #4.
Using the wrench supplied with the cabinet,
unscrew the rear G Levelers until the back of
the unit is at least 1/4” off floor. Then, unscrew
one of the front levelers until front comer of the
cabinet nearest that leveler is 1/4” to 3/8” off
floor. Unscrew other front leveler until ends of
pins align with open ends of posts.
Close drawer completely. Be sure to level the
unit side-to-side and front-to-back.

When filing or retrieving, roll
the drawer out of the main
cabinet to a point where
about two inches of the
pins remain in the posts of
the cabinet.
Insert the J Drawing Selector
behind the desired drawing
so the notches ride on cabinet
posts. Use the Selector to
move the groups of drawings
from posts to pins.
When selected drawings
are on the pins, roll the
entire drawer away from the
cabinet as far as it will go,
disengaging the pins from
the posts.
The space between pins and
posts permit filing or removal
without rubbing on adjacent
drawings. Remove drawings
from the side or the top. Always
handle by carrier strips – not
drawings. Drawings transfer to
posts when cabinet is closed.
NOTE: ALL MASTERFILES MUST BE LEVELED SIDE-TO-SIDE AND FRONT-TO-BACK.
BEFORE RELOCATING UNIT, POSITION LEVELERS FULLY UPWARD.

3Here are a few tips to keep your MasterFile in
top working condition:
Occasionally dust the surfaces of the file.
A dry spray lubricant may be used (only) on
the drawer slides to maintain smooth and easy
operation.
CAUTION: Pins and Posts DO NOT require
lubrication. Use of lubrication will be HARMFUL
to your drawings.
Always handle originals by the carrier strip.
Always file on the Pins.
Always pull the drawer completely open to load
drawings, then completely close the drawer.
Avoid overloading. Refer to MasterFile
Sheet Capacity Guide on inner lid of unit.
Never leave sheets at the end of the pins or
posts of an open file because the weight can cause
bending to occur.
