SAFETY
Thank you for choosing a Sports Afield Safe to protect your valuables. We are
commied to securing, organizing and protecng your most important documents,
valuables and keepsakes.
Your safe is built to last a lifeme. However, please understand that the locking
mechanism has precision parts. If you experience ANY difficulty opening or closing
your safe. DO NOT FORCE THE SAFE OPEN. Doing so may jam the components in
the lock, which will require a safe technician to unlock your safe. This causes an
inconvenience to you and may lead to a claim denial.
If you experience problems or challenges with your safe, please contact us.
Many issues can be quickly resolved without the product being returned.
Safe bodies and doors are extremely heavy thus SA Consumer Products Requires a
minimum of two people to insure stability of the safe during installaon. Always ensure
proper installaon, as laid out in this manual, and do not open the door with the safe
on an uneven or unstable floor. Ignoring this could result in serious injury or death.
Keep a record of your combinaon number in a secureplace, away from children,
and separatefrom your safe. You will need this informaon along with your proof
of purchase to obtain technical assistance and replacement keys.
If you choose to ulize this safe to store a weapon always follow proper weapon
and local laws when storing a weapon.
SA Consumer Products strongly recommends that you do not store loaded guns.
Always follow the firearm safety rules set out by the firearm’s manufacturer.
A Sports Afield Safe or any other firearm storage device cannot take the place
of other safety procedures including advising children of the dangers of firearms.
SA Consumer Products and its distributors of the Sports Afield Safes do not
recommend, suggest, advise, promote, or otherwise condone the ownership
or use of firearms. We believe the decision to own or use a firearm is a serious
decision that should only be made by an adult who has carefully considered
the risks and benefits of such a decision.
PLEASE READ THIS INFORMATION CAREFULLY BEFORE OPERATING YOUR
SPORTS AFIELD SAFE.
DO NOT LOCK THIS MANUAL OR THE OVERRIDE ACCESS KEYS IN YOUR SAFE.

7. KEEPING YOUR SAFE DRY
We recommend placing a moisture/protecve barrier between your safe and
concrete floor to prevent any moisture, mildew and rust damage the safe. Installing
your safe in a place with climate control (heat in the winter and cooling in the summer)
is highly recommended. In areas of high humidity or frequent temperature fluctuaons
(garages) it is recommend to take appropriate precauons to ward against moisture
damage. We strongly encourage the use of an internal dehumidifier and/or desiccants
to protect your contents from rust or mildew. Internal dehumidifiers should not be
in direct contact with the side or back walls.
Thesafeshould be installed adjacent to a side wall with minimal space on either
sideof thesafe. Wherever possible, thesafeshould be flat against thewall and
floor. Remove thebaseboard and/or wall trim if necessary.
Always ensurethesafeis in an isolated and dry area. Never place thesafein direct
contact with a wet floor. When installing your safeon a concrete floor,useof a
moisture/protecve barrier is highly recommended. Failure to do so, or exposing
the safe to chemicals or other adverse environments, may void the warranty.
If your safe seems unlevel, you may need to shim the boom of the safe to
prevent the door from swinging open too quickly, or closing on itself.
6. PROPER PLACEMENT AND MOVING OF SAFE
1.
2.
WARNING: SAFES ARE VERY HEAVY AND AWKWARD TO HANDLE. PLEASE USE THE
UTMOST CARE IN MOVING THE SAFE. UTILIZING A TRAINED PROFESSIONAL WITH
PROPER MOVING EQUIPMENT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
The locaon of the gun safe is very important and the utmost care should be taken
during this consideraon.
To maximize the fire protecon of your safe, we recommend you place the safe in
lower levels in your home where fire temperatures are lower and away from highly
combusble materials.
To maximize burglary protecon and stability, securing the safe to the floor
is recommended.

8. SHIPPING AND SKID REMOVAL
WARNING: WHILE REMOVING THE BOLTS FROM THE SKIDS, BE SURE TO HAVE
A PERSON HOLD AND STABILIZE THE SAFE TO KEEP IT FROM TIPPING, CAUSING
INJURY, AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE SAFE AND SURROUNDING STRUCTURES.
WARNING: BEFORE REMOVING THE SHIPPING SKIDS, MAKE SURE THE DOOR
IS CLOSED AND LOCKED. THE DOOR OF YOUR SAFE IS HEAVY AND PRESENTS
A SAFETY HAZARD UNTIL THE SAFE IS BOLTED DOWN OR SECURED PROPERLY.
Upon receiving your safe, you may find it aached to a shipping skid. The skid
is secured from the underside of the safe by four bolts. Remove the four bolts
that secure the safe to the skids using a wrench or 11/16” (17mm) socket.
With a person stabilizing the safe, carefully lt the safe to the le and pull the
shipping skid on the right side away from the boom of the safe.
With the shipping skid removed from one side of the safe, carefully lower the
safe to the floor.
Follow the same procedure to remove the remaining shipping skid.

Use the hardware provided or consult your hardware retailer for fastening
hardware for your parcular mounng surface.
Open your safe door and locate and remove the four black caps on the
safe floor. This will provide access to the factory drilled bolt down holes.
To secure your safe to the floor it will first be necessary to drill pilot holes
in the floor surface.
Drill the appropriate diameter and depth of pilot holes based on the type of
hardware being used and the type of floor surface. For the hardware provided
(concrete floor installaon) we recommend using a hammer drill and 1/2”
concrete drill bit to drill holes the four corresponding in the concrete floor.
Insert and drive the plasc anchoring plugs into the pilot holes. You may need
to use a hammer to fully insert the plugs into the pilot holes.
Secure the safe, by threading all 4 anchor bolts through the factory drilled bolt
down holes in the boom of the safe and ratcheng down ght.
