ASSEMBLY (CONTINUED)NOTE: Tighten screws snugly, but do not over tighten (use special care with a power screwdriver).

NOTE: Where colored hardware is called out, use the color coordinated to the laminate.

PREASSEMBLE MISCELLANEOUS PARTSNOTE: The side panels have a notch in the bottom front corner.

1. If Two Full-Length Cabinet Doors will be installed:Side Panels - (#22 and #23)a. Lay the side panels (#22 and 23) flat, with their outside surface up. Note: The outside surface has the largest

part of the crimp lock nut showing.b. See Detail A. Use a plastic mallet to pound 8-32 screw inserts (#10 oyster) into the twelve holes (four sets of

three holes) located approximately 19/32" and 1 3/8" from the front edge of both panels. The inserts will be used later for hinge screws. Refer to pages 10-11

c. Insert 1/4" screw inserts (#9) into the larger holes along the bottom notched edge of both panels. Front Bottom Stretcher (#50)a. Lay the front bottom stretcher (#50) flat, with the recessed holes side up. b. Insert 1/4" screw inserts (#8 coordinated color) into the four larger holes. Note: Two of the holes are recessed.Back Panel (#21)a. Insert 1/4" screw inserts (#9) into the three larger holes along the top edge of one of the back panels.

NOTE: The panels are large and hard to keep aligned when you attach them together with screws. Because of this, in several of the following steps you will be told to “peg” the parts first by inserting wood dowels (#6). These dowels fit snugly into existing 5/16"-diameter holes in the panels, and may have to be tapped into place.

2. Insert wood dowels into the side edges of the top panel (#20), the top edge of the top front stretcher panel (#48), and in the notched out area of the side panels (#22 and 23).

ASSEMBLE THE MAIN PANELS3. Turn the side panels on edge, with their front edges down. Using the wood dowels, peg the side panels to the top

panel. Then attach the side panels to the side edges of the top panel and the ends of the top front stretcher panel with 2"hex-socket screws (#2 oyster). Tighten the screws using the allen wrench or bit packed with these instructions.

4. With the screw inserts to the inside and edge banding to the middle of the cabinet, peg the two back panels (#21) together. Attach the back panels to the side and top panels, using the 2" hex-socket screws (#2 oyster).

5. Insert 1/4" screw inserts (#9) into the three larger holes along the bottom back panel. Attach the back panel using hex socket machine screw (#3).

6. Attach the frame assembly (#55) to the inside of the side and rear panels with the weldnuts facing down towards the bottom of cabinet, using 40 mm hex-socket screws (#3 oyster) inside the cabinet and 1/4" screw inserts (#9 oyster) outside. Do not tighten the screws.

ATTACH THE GLIDES AND LEVELERS7. To protect corners and edges while moving the cabinet into place, push or hammer plastic tack glides (#13, not shown)

into the bottom edge of the side panels, about 2" from the corners.8. Screw the four short levelers (#51) into the frame assembly.

NOTE: If the floor is excessively uneven longer levelers have been included and may be substituted as needed. Full thread engagement is required on all levelers when installed.

SET THE CABINET UPRIGHT9. Set the assembled cabinet upright.10. Attach the bottom front stretcher (#50) to the side panel using the hex-socket screws (#2), hex-socket screw, then use

the 40 mm (#3) and screw insert (#9) to attach the side panel.11. See Detail B. Attached the rubber bumper (#15) to the bottom front stretcher (#50).12. Tighten all screws in the cabinet.

INSTALL THE SUPPORT GROUP13. Refer to operation instructions on pages 7-8.

LEVEL THE CABINET AND MAKE FINAL ADJUSTMENTS14. Move the cabinet to its intended location, and level it by using a 1/4" socket or screwdriver before putting the floor in

the cabinet. Refer to the leveling procedure on page 9. Insert the floor with the cutout forward.15. To attach doors, refer to pages 10-11. To attach two or more cabinets together, and to secure the cabinet(s) to the

back wall, refer to pages 12-13.16. If the cabinet is to be free-standing, it is advisable to use suitable floor-anchoring fasteners to hold the side panels

stationary. Be sure that the cabinet is square and plumb before anchoring.

OPERATION (CONTINUED)

The basic support group consists of 4 side brackets, 2 padded instrument support tubes and 1 uppersupport bar. From the sketches above and on page 7, select the approximate arrangement desired.

1. Place 2 side brackets onto the cabinet side panels at the same level and with the same orientation(flange up or down) to receive the instrument support tubes. Note: Four 1/4”-20 x 5/8” button headfasteners (#46) are required per side bracket.

2. Install the support tube pad onto the instrument support tube with the seam of the pad on the flatedge of the tube.

3. Loosely lay one instrument support tube on the brackets in the desired position and insert therequired hardware (#31 and 32) to determine if there is adequate clearance to continue assembly.

4. To get an approximate instrument support tube to instrument support tube spacing, place them sideby side on the floor. Using a common instrument case or instrument securely held, move theinstrument support tubes apart or together until they fit and support the bottom of the instrumentcase or instrument reclined at the desired angle.Note: This is the dimension to the nearest hole location on the side bracket. It should be used to

locate the instrument support tubes with respect to each other onto the side brackets. 5. Place the instrument support tubes, with the flat side and support tube pad seam down, in the

desired location(s), confirm they are evenly spaced and parallel to the back of the cabinet. Thentighten all bracket and support tube fasteners.

6. Place a common instrument case or instrument and lean it back at the desired angle. Note wherethe upper support bar would be best positioned to contact the neck of the instrument and hold itsecurely.

7. Install the side brackets onto the cabinet side panels using 1/4”-20 x 5/8” button head fasteners (#46)at the same level and with the same orientation to receive the upper support bar.

8. Install the upper support bar using 1/4”-20 x 5/8” button head fasteners (#46) and lock-nut (#31). Wingnut (#68) may be used in place of the nylock nut (#31) if frequent adjustment is required. Nylocknuts (#31) are recommended for a more secure upper support bar mounting. Tighten all fastenerssecurely. Note: The upper support rail can be mounted above or below the flange for increased versatilityinstrument cases or instruments should not be installed so upright that they would tip off the supportrails. A reclining angle of 30 to 45 degrees is recommended. Instrument cases or instrumentsshould be placed on the support tubes and rails to be parallel with the side panels of the cabinet sothe instrument case or instrument does not fall to one side or the otherIt is highly recommended that instruments stored in the cabinet, without cases, use neck supportsfor best security. The neck supports are available in 3 different sizes based on the type ofinstrument and mount onto the upper support rail. The upper support rail can be located up anddown or near and far. The individual neck supports can be located side to side. Two flat washersare provided and are to be placed in front and in back of the upper support bar slot on the 1/4”-20threaded rod of the neck support. This allows the washers to clamp and hold the neck support onthe upper support bar.

9 Insert and remove all instruments carefully to avoid damage and avoid knocking over otherinstruments.

SUPPORT GROUP ARRANGEMENTS INSTRUCTION:

NOTE: The following instructions are for standard installations. For seismic installation instructions, contact the Wenger Corporation.

TO SECURE CABINETS TO THE WALLThere are three methods for attaching AcoustiCabinets to a wall surface:

• 21/2” from wall (recommended)• Greater than 21/2” from wall• Flush with the wall.

CABINETS 21/2” FROM WALL (RECOMMENDED)There are wall brackets (#45) for attaching the cabinets to your wall surface. Because of the variety of possible wall surfaces, fasteners are not included. Have your maintenance people recommend anappropriate type for safe, secure attachment.

NOTE: Make sure all the cabinets are secured together before you attach them to the wall.1. See Detail W. Attach the wider tabbed surface of the mounting bracket to the top edge

at the back of the cabinet using four 5/8” pan head screws (#68) in the front four holes. The tabs should be flush with the cabinet and all open areas at the top of the cabinet should becovered by the mounting bracket (see the following page for cabinets that are a different size than the mounting bracket).

2. Position the cabinets with the mounting brackets against the wall. Using the wall brackets, attach the cabinets to the wall surface. The brackets allow the recommended 21/2” spacing between the cabinet and the wall surface.

3. Use the necessary fasteners suggested by your maintenance people to secure the cabinets to thewall. Every AcoustiCabinet must be attached to the back wall surface.

CLEANINGFor removal of mild stains and mild scuff marks, the polyester wood panels and polyester shelves maybe cleaned using an all-purpose household cleaner (409, Fantastic, or similar), or just simple mild soapand water.

For heavier scuff marks, ink stains, felt pen and magic marker stains, or other tough stains; use a non-abrasive cleaner (Soft Scrub or similar), or an industrial all-purpose cleaner (Acetone or similar).Ammoniated or vinegar-based glass cleaners also work well for these stains.

Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners, as permanent damage could occur to the panel surface. Be sure toquickly remove all cleanser residues with water and wipe dry with a soft cloth.

HUMIDITY CONTROLTo insure longevity of panel performance, maintain the relative humidity between 25% - 55% at thepermanent installation site.
