Installation options

The cabinet must be restrained from toppling.

The preferred option is to use floor mounting fixings to secure the cabinet to the floor. The kick plates supplied in the cabinet kit should be secured to the floor. Pull force on floor fixing must be a minimum of 1 KN.

If cabinet cannot be fixed to the floor using kick plates then the suitable restraints should be used to remove the risk of the cabinet toppling.

Attaching bulkhead to cabinet

The bulkhead can be attached using the 4 × fitting screws supplied.
