Moving the Cabinet

When moving the cabinet, DO NOT PUSH ON THE FRONT OR BACK
OF THE UNIT
. Move the cabinet by pushing or pulling it sideways. This
will minimize the possibility of the unit overturning when in motion.

Attaching the Cabinet to the Wall

WARNING: The evidence drying cabinet must be secured to a wall stud,
or other suitable wall structure, using the included strap(s) and
bracket(s). This will minimize the possibility of the unit overturning
when in use.

1. Remove the wall bracket secured to the strap, located on the back of

the unit on top (or located in the lower cabinet compartment).

2. Locate a stud inside the wall directly behind the cabinet’s installation

location.

NOTE: The screws provided with the wall bracket are intended to be
used when attaching the bracket to a wooden wall stud. If your wall is
made of different materials (cinder block, concrete, etc.), you will need to
attach the wall bracket to the wall using an anchor or fastener approved
for that type of construction.

3. Position the bracket, centered on the stud, with the top of the strap slot

79 inches above the floor. Mark the top of each screw hole, as shown
in Figure 3-1.

4. Using a 1/8" (3 mm) drill, drill pilot holes at both marked locations to

a depth of at least 1-½ inches (38 mm).

5. Using a #3 Phillips screwdriver, tighten both bracket screws until the

bracket is secured to the wall.

6. Thread the strap through both bracket slots (one strap per slot on 4’ &

5’ cabinets), and then through both slots located at the top corners on
the rear of the cabinet (each strap goes through only one slot on
cabinet on 4’ & 5’ cabinets).

7. Push the cabinet back into its final location, and then tighten the strap

until there is minimal slack in the strap. Do NOT overtighten strap(s).
