Stacking Overfile Cabinets

NOTE: Kit contains one package of four (4) Adhesive Pads.

1. Clean surfaces with alcohol and a dry cloth first. Remove the release liner from the adhesive pads and place four (4) on the bottom of the cabinet as shown.

NOTE: If desired, you may wet the top surface of the unit that is to receive the cabinet with a damp cloth. This will delay immediate adhesion and allow the cabinet to be aligned with the unit below.

2. Place the cabinet on unit below, align and let adhesive cure for 72 hours.

CAUTION:Be sure to align carefully because it will be very difficult to remove and reposition.

TIP: If the unit needs to be removed after adhesion (for example, reconfiguration), application of heat to the adhesive pads may aid in release.

CAUTION:When removing and re-attaching overfile units (during reconfiguration, for example), be sure to use brand new adhesive pads (style number 8425960SR), available through your Steelcase dealer.
