spots, periodically move items to expose the entire surface to an even
amount of light so it may develop a uniform patina.

the stability and safety system.
•Do not overload the drawers.
•Unload items before you move this unit.

3. This piece of furniture includes two drawer interlock systems, one controlling each vertical bank
of drawers. This allows only one drawer in each bank to be open at a time. This safety feature
reduces the risk of tip over. Do not defeat or remove the drawer interlock systems.
4. When removing drawers from furniture featuring the Anti-Tip Drawer Interlock System it is
important that the drawer be installed 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 and
designated left or right.

5. The drawer interlock system has two major parts; drawer clips attached to the sides of the
drawers and anti-tip snapper arms attached to the side panels as shown in Figure 5. If you want
to remove more than one of the secured drawers, you have to change the position of the
snapper arm to ensure it is unlocked.
When you open a secured drawer, the snapper arm will be angled forward. See Figure 5a.
Remove the drawer. Push the snapper arm back so it is straight. See Figure 5b. Now you can
remove another drawer adjacent to the one already removed.

If you have a stone or tile floor or do not wish to drive screws into the corner of the baseboard
and floor see the instruction included inside the tipping restraint kit for an alternate
installation.
6. Decide where you want to place the piece of furniture in your room. Mark the baseboard with a
pencil mark directly behind the location where the tipping restraint is attached to your item.
Move the item away from the wall far enough to allow you to access the spot where the
baseboard meets the floor. Position the straps and Plastic Bracket (B) as shown in Figures 6
and 6a with the angled corners of the Plastic Bracket (B) firmly placed against the seam of the
baseboard and floor. Attach by driving #8 x 3" Pan Head Screws (D) through the holes in the
Plastic Bracket (B) into the seam below the baseboard where it meets the floor. See Figures 6
and 6a.
7. Move the item back into position against the wall and reach underneath the piece of furniture to
grasp the loop in the free end of the strap. Pull the free end of the strap until portion between
the Cam Buckle (A) and the back apron of the item is tight. See Figures 7 and 7a. If you need
to move the piece of furniture reach beneath and locate the buckle which connects the two
sections of the strap and depress the release lever, then pull on the section of strap that is
between the buckle and the back apron of the furniture until there is enough slack to allow you
to pull the item away from the wall.
