3. Rotate case assembly onto its back.
NOTE: 1-Hi cases with a 12” file drawer and c:scape or
FrameOne feet require heavier counterweight packages
than cases with Universal bases.
4a. (Cabinets with Universal Bases)
Lay the five (5) counterweight plates in the back of the
case assembly.
4b. (Cabinets with Feet)
Lay the six (6) counterweight plates in the back of the
case, with the shorter 8-1/2” plate on top.
IMPORTANT: The shorter plate must be on top. A taller
11-1/4” plate on top may interfere with the drawer back.
TIP: Make sure plates are not held apart by feet screws.
5. Place the counterweight cover over the counterweight
plates and secure with two (2) #8 x 3/8” self-drilling screws.
NOTE: If the case will be attached to a panel via a storage to
panel bracket, the counterweight will need to be installed
slightly off center in 30” & 36” wide cases (approx. 1/8” for 30”
cases and 1/16” for 36” wide cases) to prevent interference with
the storage to panel bracket hex nuts. For all other applications,
center the counterweight in the back of the case.
6. Rotate case assembly back onto its glides.
7. Re-install suspensions removed in Step 2.
