WARNING

TIP HAZARD

• This cabinet is easily tipped. Make sure you have secured the cabinet to the floor before installing

equipment.

• Install the heaviest equipment first and toward the bottom of the cabinet to prevent the cabinet

from becoming top-heavy.

• Do not extend equipment on sliding rails until you have installed 158 kg (350 lb) of equipment into

the bottom of the cabinet for stability or until you have installed the stabilizer plate or bolt-down

brackets. Do not extend more than one piece of equipment on sliding rails at a time.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
