Installation Guide
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance of your drawer slides. Follow these steps carefully:
- Separate the Slides: Fully extend the drawer slide and press the black release lever to separate the inner slide member from the main body. The inner slide member attaches to the drawer box, and the main body attaches to the cabinet.
- Attach to Drawer Box: Align the inner slide member with the bottom edge of your drawer box. Ensure it is level and flush with the front of the drawer. Use the provided screws to secure it firmly to the side of the drawer box. Repeat for the other side of the drawer.
- Attach to Cabinet: Determine the desired height for your drawer within the cabinet. Attach the main body of the slide to the inside of the cabinet wall. Use the included brackets for rear mounting if applicable, ensuring they are squared and securely fastened. For side mounting, ensure the slide is level and parallel to the cabinet opening.
- Insert Drawer: Carefully align the drawer box (with the inner slide members attached) with the main slide bodies in the cabinet. Gently push the drawer in until you feel the slides engage. Push firmly to ensure the soft-close mechanism is properly seated.
- Test Operation: Open and close the drawer several times to ensure smooth operation and proper soft-closing. If the drawer does not slide smoothly or close correctly, check for alignment issues. Loosen screws slightly, adjust, and re-tighten.

Operation
Operating your Gobrico drawer slides is straightforward:
- Opening: Pull the drawer handle to open. The full extension design allows the drawer to come out completely, providing easy access to all contents.
- Closing: Push the drawer gently to close. The hydraulic soft-close mechanism will engage when the drawer is pushed to a certain point, slowly and quietly pulling it shut.
- Removing Drawer: To remove the drawer from the cabinet, fully extend it and locate the black release levers on both slides (one on each side). Press down on one lever and lift up on the other simultaneously, then pull the drawer straight out.

Maintenance
To ensure the long-term smooth operation of your Gobrico drawer slides, consider the following maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the slide rails with a clean, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Lubrication: If the slides begin to feel stiff or less smooth over time, a light application of silicone spray lubricant on the ball bearings can restore optimal performance. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust.
- Check Fasteners: Occasionally check all mounting screws to ensure they are tight. Loose screws can affect slide performance and lead to misalignment.
