å Unfold the LARGE BACK (H2) and lay it over your unit.
å Make equal margins along all four edges of the LARGE BACK (H2). Push on opposite corners of your unit if needed to
make it "square".
å A perforation in the LARGE BACK (H2) has been provided for access to the SAFETY STRAP. Punch out the perforation
and push the SAFETY STRAP through the hole.
å Fasten the LARGE BACK (H2) to three edges of your unit using the NAILS (1N).
We have provided a Nail Holder tool to use
in this step for proper positioning of the NAILS. Please refer to the parts of the Nail Holder as the bead, oset edge, and nail
slot as shown in the diagrams below
å Diagram 1.
Place the oset edge of the Nail Holder down. The NAILS should be 5-1/2" apart, 1-1/2" from the corners. and
be sure the NAILS are 1/2" from each fold line in the BACK. Place a NAIL (1N) into the nail slot of the Nail Holder. Tap the
NAIL through the BACK and into lower edge of the END shown. Remove the Nail Holder from the NAIL and completely tap
the NAIL in with your hammer. Repeat this to tap the remaining NAILS in the top and side edges of the BACK.
å NOTE: Do not tap nails into the bottom edge of the
LARGE BACK at this time.

Step 12
å Carefully stand your unit upright in its final position against a wall.
å NOTE: Do not turn the SAFETY DRYWALL ANCHOR into a wall stud. If you prefer to fasten the SAFETY
STRAP to a wall stud, go to your local hardware store for proper hardware.
å INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Insert the SAFETY DRYWALL ANCHOR through the WASHER and the end of the SAFETY STRAP.
2. Using a Phillips screwdriver or a hand drill, press the screw slightly onto the drywall just below the top surface of your
unit so the SAFETY STRAP will not be visible.
3. Apply pressure; turn the screw until a pilot hole is made and the nylon sheath slips through.
4. Turn the screw until it is flush against the wall and you feel a firm resistance.
5. Continue to turn until the screw starts spinning freely.
å NOTE: Before moving your unit to a dierent location, unscrew the SAFETY DRYWALL ANCHOR from your wall. The
nylon sheath will remain behind your wall.
Pro Tip: Lift with your
legs. And, you know,
your arms.

WARNING
Please use your furniture correctly and safely. Improper use can cause safety hazards,
or damage to your furniture or household items. Carefully read the following chart.
Look out for: What can happen: How to avoid the problem:
• Overloaded shelves.
• Improper loading can cause the
product to be top-heavy.
• Risk of injury.
• Top-heavy furniture can tip over.
• Overloaded shelves can break.
• Never exceed the weight limits shown in
the instructions.
• Work from bottom to top when loading
shelves. Place the heavier items on the
lower shelves.
• Improperly moving furniture that is not
designed and equipped with casters. • Furniture can tip over or break if improperly moved.
• Physical injury. Furniture can be very
heavy.
• Unload shelves from top to bottom before
moving the furniture.
• Do not push furniture, especially on a
carpeted floor. Have a friend help you lift
the item and set it in place.
• This unit must be positioned against a
wall.
• Children climbing on the shelves can
cause the product to tip. • Risk of injury or death. • Do not allow children to climb on the shelves. Avoid placing items like toys or
candy on upper shelves.
• Use the supplied safety strap for added
stability.
• Placing TVs on furniture items that are
not designed to support a television is
hazardous.
• Risk of injury or death. TVs can be very
heavy. Plus the weight and location of the
picture tube tends to make TVs unbalanced
and prone to tipping forward.
• This product is not designed to support a
television.
