SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Make sure anyone working on the Storage Cabinets has read and understands this manual.

CAUTION

Failure to comply with Warnings and Cautions in this document can result in damage to property or serious injury.

CAUTION

Always observe and comply with the Warnings and Cautions posted on the system equipment.

CAUTION

It is unsafe for only one person to assemble or move the Storage Cabinets.

CAUTION

Make sure the Cabinets are securely attached to walls or floor after assembly is complete.

CAUTION

Throughout this manual you may find CAUTIONS and WARNINGS they are defined as follows:

• WARNING; failure to follow the instruction may result in serious injury or death.

• CAUTION; failure to follow the instruction may result in serious injury or damage to property.

Read all of these safety instructions before assembling and installing the Storage Cabinets.

OVERVIEW

It is suggested that the Storage Cabinets are set up in a space that is large enough (approximately 25' x 25') to safely handle the cartons, pieces, finished cabinets, and dunnage.

Inspect the condition of the wall and floor where the cabinets will be located. If the wall is not straight, establish a reference line so the fronts of all cabinets will line up. Also, determine the highest point on the floor, which will establish the leveled height of each row of cabinets.

Build only one cabinet at a time, to avoid intermixing parts. Build each according to the instructions in this manual for the specific model. Do not start installing doors until all cabinets are assembled and in their final location, leveled, and bolted to adjacent walls and cabinets.

After all cabinets are in place, distribute the door cartons and door hardware sets to each cabinet. Assemble and hang the doors one at a time according to the instructions. Then clean off any fingerprints, dirt, and dust, using a clean rag and Fantastic (or comparable) spray cleaner or acetone.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Keep the Storage Cabinet Packing List with the cabinet, use for reference until the unit is completely assembled.

• Read the complete assembly procedure before beginning to assemble the cabinet.

• Hardware packs may contain extra fasteners that will not be required on your cabinet.

• Because of the variety of possible wall surfaces, they are not included. Have your maintenance personnel recommend an appropriate type for safe, secure attachment and have the fasteners available before assembling the cabinet.

• At least two people (preferably four) are required to assemble the cabinet and set it upright.

ASSEMBLY (CONTINUED)

NOTE: Tighten screws snugly, but do not over tighten (use special care with a power screwdriver).

NOTE: Where colored hardware is called out, use the color coordinated to the laminate.

PREASSEMBLE MISCELLANEOUS PARTS

NOTE: The side panels have a notch in the bottom front corner.

1. If Two Full-Length Cabinet Doors will be installed:

Side Panels - (#22 and #23)

a. Lay the side panels (#22 and 23) flat, with their outside

surface up. Note: The outside surface has the largest

part of the crimp lock nut showing.

b. See Detail A. Use a plastic mallet to pound 8-32 screw inserts (#10 oyster) into the twelve holes (four sets of

three holes) located approximately 19/

" and 1 3/8" from the front edge of both panels. The inserts will be used

later for hinge screws. Refer to pages 10-11

c. Insert 1/4" screw inserts (#9) into the larger holes along the bottom notched edge of both panels.

Front Bottom Stretcher (#50)

a. Lay the front bottom stretcher (#50) flat, with the recessed holes side up. b. Insert 1/4" screw inserts (#8 coordinated color) into the four larger holes. Note: Two of the holes are recessed.

Back Panel (#21) a. Insert 1/4" screw inserts (#9) into the three larger holes along the top edge of one of the back panels.

NOTE: The panels are large and hard to keep aligned when you attach them together with screws. Because of this, in

several of the following steps you will be told to “peg” the parts first by inserting wood dowels (#6). These dowels fit snugly into existing

/16"-diameter holes in the panels, and may have to be tapped into place.

2. Insert wood dowels into the side edges of the top panel (#20), the top edge of the top front stretcher panel (#48), and in the notched out area of the side panels (#22 and 23).

ASSEMBLE THE MAIN PANELS

3. Turn the side panels on edge, with their front edges down. Using the wood dowels, peg the side panels to the top panel. Then attach the side panels to the side edges of the top panel and the ends of the top front stretcher panel with 2"hex-socket screws (#2 oyster). Tighten the screws using the allen wrench or bit packed with these instructions.

4. With the screw inserts to the inside and edge banding to the middle of the cabinet, peg the two back panels (#21) together. Attach the back panels to the side and top panels, using the 2" hex-socket screws (#2 oyster).

5. Insert

/4" screw inserts (#9) into the three larger holes along the bottom back panel. Attach the back panel using hex

socket machine screw (#3).

6. Attach the frame assembly (#55) to the inside of the side and rear panels with the weldnuts facing down towards the bottom of cabinet, using 40 mm hex-socket screws (#3 oyster) inside the cabinet and

/4" screw inserts (#9 oyster)

outside. Do not tighten the screws.

ATTACH THE GLIDES AND LEVELERS

7. To protect corners and edges while moving the cabinet into place, push or hammer plastic tack glides (#13, not shown) into the bottom edge of the side panels, about 2" from the corners.

8. Screw the four short levelers (#51) into the frame assembly. NOTE: If the floor is excessively uneven longer levelers have been included and may be substituted as needed. Full

thread engagement is required on all levelers when installed.

SET THE CABINET UPRIGHT

9. Set the assembled cabinet upright.

10. Attach the bottom front stretcher (#50) to the side panel using the hex-socket screws (#2), hex-socket screw, then use the 40 mm (#3) and screw insert (#9) to attach the side panel.

11. See Detail B. Attached the rubber bumper (#15) to the bottom front stretcher (#50).

12. Tighten all screws in the cabinet.

INSTALL THE SUPPORT GROUP

13. Refer to operation instructions on pages 7-8.

LEVEL THE CABINET AND MAKE FINAL ADJUSTMENTS

14. Move the cabinet to its intended location, and level it by using a 1/4" socket or screwdriver before putting the floor in

the cabinet. Refer to the leveling procedure on page 9. Insert the floor with the cutout forward.

15. To attach doors, refer to pages 10-11. To attach two or more cabinets together, and to secure the cabinet(s) to the back wall, refer to pages 12-13.

16. If the cabinet is to be free-standing, it is advisable to use suitable floor-anchoring fasteners to hold the side panels stationary. Be sure that the cabinet is square and plumb before anchoring.

OPERATION (CONTINUED)

The basic support group consists of 4 side brackets, 2 padded instrument support tubes and 1 upper support bar. From the sketches above and on page 7, select the approximate arrangement desired.

1. Place 2 side brackets onto the cabinet side panels at the same level and with the same orientation (flange up or down) to receive the instrument support tubes. Note: Four 1/4”-20 x 5/8” button head

fasteners (#46) are required per side bracket.

2. Install the support tube pad onto the instrument support tube with the seam of the pad on the flat edge of the tube.

3. Loosely lay one instrument support tube on the brackets in the desired position and insert the required hardware (#31 and 32) to determine if there is adequate clearance to continue assembly.

4. To get an approximate instrument support tube to instrument support tube spacing, place them side by side on the floor. Using a common instrument case or instrument securely held, move the instrument support tubes apart or together until they fit and support the bottom of the instrument case or instrument reclined at the desired angle.

Note: This is the dimension to the nearest hole location on the side bracket. It should be used to

locate the instrument support tubes with respect to each other onto the side brackets.

5. Place the instrument support tubes, with the flat side and support tube pad seam down, in the desired location(s), confirm they are evenly spaced and parallel to the back of the cabinet. Then tighten all bracket and support tube fasteners.

6. Place a common instrument case or instrument and lean it back at the desired angle. Note where the upper support bar would be best positioned to contact the neck of the instrument and hold it securely.

7. Install the side brackets onto the cabinet side panels using

/4”-20 x 5/8” button head fasteners (#46)

at the same level and with the same orientation to receive the upper support bar.

8. Install the upper support bar using 1/4”-20 x 5/8” button head fasteners (#46) and lock-nut (#31). Wing

nut (#68) may be used in place of the nylock nut (#31) if frequent adjustment is required. Nylock nuts (#31) are recommended for a more secure upper support bar mounting. Tighten all fasteners securely.

Note: The upper support rail can be mounted above or below the flange for increased versatility instrument cases or instruments should not be installed so upright that they would tip off the support rails. A reclining angle of 30 to 45 degrees is recommended. Instrument cases or instruments should be placed on the support tubes and rails to be parallel with the side panels of the cabinet so the instrument case or instrument does not fall to one side or the other

It is highly recommended that instruments stored in the cabinet, without cases, use neck supports for best security. The neck supports are available in 3 different sizes based on the type of instrument and mount onto the upper support rail. The upper support rail can be located up and down or near and far. The individual neck supports can be located side to side. Two flat washers are provided and are to be placed in front and in back of the upper support bar slot on the

/4”-20

threaded rod of the neck support. This allows the washers to clamp and hold the neck support on the upper support bar.

9 Insert and remove all instruments carefully to avoid damage and avoid knocking over other

instruments.

SUPPORT GROUP ARRANGEMENTS INSTRUCTION:

Page 9

1. Check the level of the entire floor where the cabinets will be installed. Determine the highest point of the floor in that area. Extend all levelers until the bottom of the cabinet will be higher than the highest point in the floor.

2. Adjust the levelers on one side until the front edges of the cabinet side panels are plumb (side-to-side).

3. Measure A and B with a tape and adjust the front levelers until A=B (+1/32inch).

4. Adjust both front levelers equally until the front edges of the cabinet are plumb (front-to-back).

5. Recheck that A=B. Readjust if necessary (repeat steps 2-4).

6. Adjust the levelers on the next cabinet so it will line up with the top of the first cabinet.

7. Repeat steps 2-5 for the second cabinet.

8. Continue in the same manner until all cabinets are leveled.

TO LEVEL CABINETS

NOTE: Do not try to level the cabinets to match soffits.

Do not try to plumb the cabinet to match adjacent walls. For proper door alignment, follow these instructions carefully.

Page 10

NOTE: The cabinet must be properly leveled first, or the doors will not fit properly. See page 9

1. Lay the door (#33) flat. Use a plastic mallet to pound 8-32 screw inserts (#11) into the eight holes (four pairs) near one edge of each door (install inserts into the front

face of the door). Note: There are pilot holes started

on the front face of the door.

2. Attach four hinges (#35) to the inside (back face) of each door, using flat-head 3/4" screws

(#49 matches hinge color) into the inserts installed in step 1.

3. See Detail G. Hold a door in position on the cabinet. Attach the hinges to the side panel, using three flat-head screws (#49 matches hinge color) into each set of screw inserts. A screw may be inserted into the rear-most hole of the cabinet and the door may be hung from it by placing the slotted hole in the hinge onto the screw and moving the hinge forward until the other two screw inserts are exposed. Tighten the three screws in each hinge. Repeat with the other door. Four sets of screw inserts (#10 oyster) were previously installed in the left and right side panels for the door hinges. See Detail A on the cabinet assembly instructions.

4. Secure each hinge to the edge of the door, using flat-head

/8" screws (#5 matches hinge color) into the

predrilled hole.

5. See Detail H. Insert a card holder housing (#70) into the two inner holes in the front face of the left

door as

shown. Insert the other card holder housing to the inner holes in the right

door. Insert hex-socket cap nuts (#41

matches hinge color) into the holes in the back face of the door and tighten them.

6. Insert the handle (#34 matches hinge color) into the remaining two holes in each door. Install and tighten the cap nuts. Closing the doors align holes in the handles for installing a padlock.

TO SECURE CABINETS TO THE WALL

There are three methods for attaching AcoustiCabinets to a wall surface:

• 21/2” from wall (recommended)

• Greater than 21/2” from wall

• Flush with the wall.

CABINETS 21/2” FROM WALL (RECOMMENDED)

There are wall brackets (#45) for attaching the cabinets to your wall surface. Because of the variety of possible wall surfaces, fasteners are not included. Have your maintenance people recommend an appropriate type for safe, secure attachment.

NOTE: Make sure all the cabinets are secured together before you attach them to the wall.

1. See Detail W. Attach the wider tabbed surface of the mounting bracket to the top edge at the back of the cabinet using four 5/8” pan head screws (#68) in the front four holes. The tabs should be flush with the cabinet and all open areas at the top of the cabinet should be covered by the mounting bracket (see the following page for cabinets that are a different size than the mounting bracket).

2. Position the cabinets with the mounting brackets against the wall. Using the wall brackets, attach the cabinets to the wall surface. The brackets allow the recommended 21/2” spacing between the cabinet and the wall surface.

3. Use the necessary fasteners suggested by your maintenance people to secure the cabinets to the wall. Every AcoustiCabinet must be attached to the back wall surface.

CLEANING

For removal of mild stains and mild scuff marks, the polyester wood panels and polyester shelves may be cleaned using an all-purpose household cleaner (409, Fantastic, or similar), or just simple mild soap and water.

For heavier scuff marks, ink stains, felt pen and magic marker stains, or other tough stains; use a nonabrasive cleaner (Soft Scrub or similar), or an industrial all-purpose cleaner (Acetone or similar). Ammoniated or vinegar-based glass cleaners also work well for these stains.

Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners, as permanent damage could occur to the panel surface. Be sure to quickly remove all cleanser residues with water and wipe dry with a soft cloth.

HUMIDITY CONTROL

To insure longevity of panel performance, maintain the relative humidity between 25% - 55% at the permanent installation site.
