1.Positioning

Installationona750mmdeepdesktopshouldresultinthemetaldrawerfacesitting
approximatelyflushwiththefrontedgeofthedesktopwhenviewedfromabove(onlythe
handlewillprotrude).Naturally,itwillprotrudeslightlymoreorlessifyourdesktopis
deeperorshallower.
Providingall4self‐tappingscrewsareutilisedandscrewedthroughthedrawerscrewholes
intosoliddesktopmaterial,therearenorealconstraintsastowhichlaterallocationyou
positionthedrawer(farLHS,farRHSoranywhereinbetween).
Youcanevenpositionthedrawersothatthe‘wing’fromtheframesitswithintheopen
space(exampleshownbelow).

2.Installation
Onceyouhavedeterminedthelaterallocationofthemetaldrawer,itcannowbeinstalled.
Thiscanbedoneeitherupsidedownwhenyou’reassemblingyourdesk(thisiseasiest)or
retrofittingitwhenthedeskistherightwayup(youmayneedsomeonetohelpholdthe
drawerinplace).
It’simperativethatthedesklegsareinthefullycontractedposition(i.e.thedeskshouldbe
fullyloweredifyou’reretrofittingtothedesk).
Youmustallowatleasta5mmgapbetweenthebackofthedrawerandthecontracted
(lowered)leg.Warning:Failingtoleavea5mmgapasindicatedcanleadtointerference
duringdeskloweringthatmaydamagetheframe,themetaldrawer,orboth.

Onceinposition,useall4screwstoattachthedrawertothedesktop.Theself‐tapping
screwsaretypicallysharpenoughtoallowyoutouseahandscrewdrivertoscrewfirmly
intothedesktopwithareasonablelevelofforce.Ifyoufindthisdifficult,youmaybenefit
frompre‐drillingtheholeswitha2.5mmdrillbit.
Noteonpre‐drilling:Beextremelycarefulnottodrilltoofarasyoumayruntheriskofdrilling
allthewaythroughthedesktop!

3.Notes
Thedrawerrunnersofthemetaldraweraretypicallyfirmandhavebeendesignedthisway.
Theywillloosenovertimehowever.
Shouldyouneedtoremovethedrawerfromtherunners,thiscanbeachievedbyactivating
theleversonbothrunners.Onesideyouwillneedtopushdown,theothersidepushupat
thesametime;thedrawerwillsliderightout.
