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
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/
3
2
" 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
5
/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
1
/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
1
/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
1
/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
1
/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.
