This unit uses cam bolts and locks. The following explains how to use them. This is not an assembly step; it is a guide for when you are actually doing the assembly using this kind of hardware.

BEFORE YOU START THE ASSEMBLY, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TIPS AND WARNINGS.

❶ Do a quick inventory to make sure the package contains all the parts and hardware listed in the assembly instructions.	❼ To avoid misalignments, always leave the screws loose and tighten them until all pieces are positioned correctly.
❷ Missing, damaged and defective parts can be replaced at no cost to you. Please refer to the last pages on this manual.	❽ Do not overtighten or force the screws as they might break, strip, damage the threads of the holes or get stuck inside the part.
❸ The replacement parts service is limited to the 48 contiguous United States. If you reside in Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, U.S. territories or other countries, please contact the supplier from where the unit was purchased.	❾ Sometimes the laminate might cover partially or entirely the hole on a panel. If there is no visible hole for the screw, pass and press the tip of your finger over the area where the hole should be located to feel the indentation, and once found, carefully pierce the laminate to reveal the hole underneath.
❹ If during assembly you find an issue or need clarification, please contact our Customer Service for assistance. Please refer to the last pages on this manual.
❺ On each step read the instructions and analyze the illustrations thoroughly before proceeding to do the assembly.	❿ If the hole seems too small for the screw, first make sure you are using the correct size of screw and that it’s been installed in the correct hole. If the hole still appears to be too small, carefully pierce the laminate to reveal the hole’s actual size.
❻ Make sure you understand which hardware will be used on each step. Using the wrong size of screw, bolt or pin might strip the threads or cause damage to the part in which it is being used.
