Safety Instructions

Read all instructions before assembly. Ensure a safe environment.

1. Work Area: Assemble on a clean, flat, stable surface away from foot traffic.
2. Lifting: The unit is heavy when assembled. Use two people to move it.
3. Children & Pets: Keep small parts away during assembly to prevent choking hazards.
4. Inspection: Check all parts for damage before assembly. Do not use damaged components.
5. Secure Attachment: When attaching to a GALANT desk, ensure all brackets are firmly tightened to prevent tipping.

WARNING! Failure to properly secure the unit to the desk may result in instability or injury.

Assembly Steps

Follow steps in order. Do not fully tighten screws until instructed.

1. Frame Assembly: Connect the side panels to the top and bottom beams using the provided screws (size M6). Hand-tighten only.
2. Install Drawer Runners: Attach the runner pairs to the inner sides of the frame at the marked positions. Ensure they are level and aligned.
3. Assemble Drawers: Connect drawer front (B), sides (C), and bottom (D). Slide the bottom panel into the grooves. Secure with small screws.
4. Attach Drawer Handles: If your model includes separate handles, attach them to the drawer fronts now.
5. Insert Drawers: Carefully slide each drawer onto its corresponding runner set. Test the glide action.
6. Final Tightening: Once all parts are aligned, go back and fully tighten all frame and runner screws with the Allen key.

Tip: Do not force parts. If something doesn't fit, check orientation and alignment.

Attaching to GALANT Desk

The drawer unit is designed to mount underneath the GALANT desk frame.

1. Position the Desk: Ensure the desk frame is upside down or accessible from below.
2. Align the Unit: Place the assembled drawer unit under the desk frame in the desired position (typically centered).
3. Attach Brackets: Use the mounting brackets (F) to connect the top of the drawer unit frame to the horizontal beams of the GALANT frame. Use the larger screws from pack G.
4. Check Stability: Gently try to rock the unit. It should feel solid and integrated with the desk. Tighten all bracket screws firmly.
5. Return Desk to Upright: With help, carefully flip the desk (with attached drawer unit) back to its upright position.

CAUTION! Use at least two people for flipping the desk. Ensure the floor is clear.

Drawer Adjustment & Use

Drawers should open and close smoothly. Minor adjustments can be made.

• Alignment: If a drawer sticks or is uneven, slightly loosen its runner screws, adjust the drawer position, and retighten.
• Weight Limit: Do not exceed 15 lbs (7 kg) per drawer. Distribute weight evenly.
• Stopping Mechanism: Drawers have a built-in stop to prevent them from being pulled completely out. Do not force past this stop.
• Locking (Optional): Some models may have an optional lock. Refer to the lock's separate instructions if included.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care ensures long-lasting performance.

1. Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Use mild soap if needed. Dry immediately.
2. Avoid: Abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, solvents, or excessive water.
3. Drawer Runners: For smooth operation, occasionally wipe runners with a dry cloth to remove dust. Do not oil or lubricate.
4. Inspection: Periodically check that all screws and brackets are tight.
