- Attaching the Casters: The cabinet (A) should be laid on its top with drawers locked, using packaging material to protect the finish. Two swivel casters (D) are attached to the same side as the handle, and the other two swivel casters (D) are attached to the opposite side using M8 x 25 bolts (AA). Two fixed casters (C) are attached to the center of the cabinet using M8 x 25 bolts (AA). All casters are tightened with a wrench (CC). The cabinet is then returned to its upright position.
