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.
If you choose to ulize this safe to store a firearm always follow proper firearm and
local laws.
SA Consumer Products strongly recommends that you do not store loaded firearms.
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 BACKUP 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.

Using a dolly capable of supporng thesize and weight of your safe, move thesafe
to your desired locaon. Pleasetakeall necessary precauons to protect and prevent
any damageto your flooring.
HELPFUL: TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOUR SAFE WILL MAKE IT THROUGH DOORWAYS,
STAIRS, OR CORNERS, TAKE THE EMPTY SAFE BOX AND SEE IF IT WILL FIT ALL THE WAY
THROUGH TO ITS FINAL LOCATION.

7.
The safe should be installed adjacent to a side wall with minimal space on either
side of the safe. Wherever possible, the safe should be flat against the wall and
floor. Remove the baseboard and/or wall trim if necessary.
Always ensure the safe is in an isolated and dry area. Never place the safe in direct
contact with a wet floor. When installing your safe on a concrete floor, use of 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.

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.
SA Consumer Products recommends that you store your safe in a closet, office,
basement, bedroom or any other locaon that is convenient for you but out of
direct line of sight from prying eyes. The locaon of the gun safe is very important.
SA Consumer Products requires the safe is secured to the floor to ensure safe does
not p over in case of a flood.
