Installation of your Safety Cabinet.

The Location Brackets provided can be used to secure your cabinet to a wall or floor especially in an earthquake prone location. After positioning your cabinet and adjusting the adjustable feet (already fitted to the bottom of your cabinet) to eliminate any chance of your cabinet rocking, simply attach the brackets to the cabinet and wall with the fixings provided. You can drill and screw into the outer skin of the cabinet only, be sure not to drill or screw into as the inner skin wall which is further 40mm towards the inside of the cabinet. Ensure you attach the earthing cable to a small bolt on the lower RH side of the cabinet and the alligator clip to an earth such as a bolt in the floor or a structural steel column. This is to retard small sparks from static electricity. If in doubt please contact an electrician.

Safety when using your Safety Cabinet.

Please use chemical resistant gloves and eye protection while washing your cabinet to help eliminate chemicals getting on your skin or splashes in your eyes. Please contact your health professional for advice if you feel unwell or need assistance from the cleaning process. You can call 111 if it has become an emergency. When loading your Safety Cabinet with chemicals it is prudent to wear a Hi-Vis jacket to show other personnel that you may be carrying toxic chemicals and for them to be aware that you may require a clear walkway to the Safety Cabinet.

Adjusting Door Closer Arms

Please ensure your door closers are adjusted to prevent the doors from staying open when unattended. The doors must automatically close when not being held open as required by AS1940 On the odd occasion, some closers may require an adjustment to shorten the arm by screwing the thread inwards on the arm. 1) Simply remove the screws from the saddle on the door …then loosen the nut on the thread .. screw in the thread until the door will not stay open on its own, then reassemble and tighten the lock nut. Or 2).. Loosen the locknut on the threaded rod….Remove the vertical screw in the elbow, turn the body of the arm to screw onto the Threaded rod, thus shortening the arm until the door will not stay open. Check the return arms on both doors and repeat the adjustment if required If you have any trouble adjusting the closer arm, please call us for assistance on 0800 04 05 06
