5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Drawer Usage

The cabinet features three drawers for organized storage:

• Top Two Drawers: Ideal for storing office supplies such as pens, staplers, notebooks, and other small items.
• Bottom Drawer: Designed to accommodate letter-sized files. Utilize hanging file folders for efficient organization.

5.2 Locking Mechanism

The cabinet is equipped with an interlock system to secure all three drawers simultaneously.

1. To lock the drawers, ensure all drawers are fully closed.
2. Insert the key into the lock cylinder located on the top right side of the cabinet.
3. Turn the key clockwise to engage the locking mechanism. All three drawers will be secured.
4. To unlock, insert the key and turn it counter-clockwise.

5.3 Mobility and Stability

The cabinet features five industrial-grade casters for easy movement. Two of these casters are lockable to provide stability when the cabinet is in a desired position. A central caster prevents tipping when drawers are fully extended.

• To move the cabinet, unlock the two front casters by flipping their levers.
• To secure the cabinet in place, engage the locks on the two front casters.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the cabinet surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish.
• Drawer Slides: Periodically check drawer slides for smooth operation. If they become stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied.
• Casters: Keep casters free of hair, dust, and debris to ensure smooth rolling.
• Hardware: Regularly inspect all screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary.

7. Troubleshooting

• Drawers are difficult to open or close: Check if the cabinet is on a level surface. Ensure drawers are not overloaded. Inspect drawer slides for obstructions or damage.
• Cabinet is unstable or tips easily: Verify that the cabinet is on a flat surface. Ensure only one drawer is open at a time. Check if casters are properly installed and tightened.
• Casters are not rolling smoothly: Clean any debris (hair, dust) from the caster wheels. Ensure the caster locks are disengaged.
• Lock mechanism is not working: Ensure all drawers are fully closed before attempting to lock. Check if the key is fully inserted and turned correctly.
