Tool Required: Phillips Screwdriver.
Tool Provided: Leveler Adjustment Key in the Zip bag taped to the Owner’s Manual and Safety
Guide.
1. Use a protective pad when you use the top of this piece as a writing surface.
2. The keys and the Aluminum File Rails are inside the hardware box.
3. Store your letter-sized hanging folders either parallel or perpendicular to the front of the drawer.
Legal-sized folders must hang perpendicularly. To hang your files perpendicularly, remove the
Plastic File Rails (M). See Figures 3 and 3a. There are slots on the sides of the drawers. Insert
an Aluminum File Rail (N) into the slots nearest to the Drawer Face (D or E). Insert another
Aluminum File Rail (N) into the second set of notches for letter-sized folders or the third set of
notches to hang legal-sized folders. See Figures 3b and 3c.

4. This piece of furniture includes a drawer interlock system allowing only one drawer to be open at
a time. This is a safety feature to reduce the risk of tip over. Do not defeat or remove the drawer
interlock system.
5. Place the unit at its final destination. Use the Leveler Adjustment Key (ZD), found in the Zip bag
taped to the Owner’s Manual and Safety Guide to rotate the Slotted Levelers (ZC) on the
bottoms of the legs until the unit is level. See Figures 5 and 5a.
6. If you need to remove your drawers, pull up on the left Drawer Release Lever while pushing
down on the right Drawer Release Lever and pull out the drawer. See Figures 6 and 6a. Note
where each drawer came from to make sure you place them back into their correct positions.

7. When removing drawers from furniture featuring the Anti-Tip Drawer Interlock System it is
important that the drawer is installed back in its original location. Numbers and letters are
stamped on the back of the drawers. Stamping sequence starts at the bottom, moves to the top.

8. Example; if you want to remove the First Drawer and Second Drawer from the cabinet; remove
the Second Drawer first. When you remove this drawer, the upper arm on the Anti-Tip Snapper
for that side will be pulled forward. See Fig. 8d. As long as this arm is angled toward the front of
the case, you cannot remove the First Drawer. Move the upper arms of the Anti-tip Snapper to
the unlocked position as shown in Figure 8e. You can then remove the First Drawer as shown in
Step 6. To reinstall the drawers, install the First Drawer then move the upper arm of the Anti-tip
Snapper to the forward locked position. Now you can reinstall the Second Drawer.
