4. Setup and Assembly

4.1 Caster Installation
- Carefully unbox the cabinet and place it on its side or upside down on a soft, protective surface to avoid scratching the finish.
- Identify the five caster attachment points on the bottom of the cabinet. There are four corner points and one center point.
- Attach the two lockable casters to two of the corner points.
- Attach the two 360° swivel casters to the remaining two corner points.
- Attach the anti-tilt wheel to the center point. This wheel provides stability and prevents tipping when drawers are extended.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and proper function of your file cabinet.
- Cleaning: Wipe the cabinet surfaces with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the powder-coated finish.
- Drawer Rails: Periodically check the drawer slide rails for any debris. If drawers become stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the rails.
- Casters: Ensure casters are free of hair or debris that could impede movement. Check that all caster screws remain tight.
- Lock: Do not lubricate the lock mechanism with oil. If the lock becomes stiff, a graphite-based lubricant designed for locks can be used sparingly.
