PRODUCT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Failure to Follow These Safety Rules Could

Result In Personal Injury

Maximum pedestal loading should comply with

current ANSI/BIFMA specifications. When a

mobile or stationary unit is loaded, bottom drawers

should be loaded first and top drawers last. When

pedestal is unloaded, this order should be

reversed.

Contents and weight should always be evenly

distributed along depth of drawer.

Overloading of drawers could cause premature

failure of pedestal or work surface.

For mobile or stationary units, open only one

drawer at a time. In Desk Credenza applications,

open only one drawer per pedestal at a time.

When re-configuring drawers within a pedestal,

the largest drawer should always be on bottom of

drawer housing. Be sure that drawer slides are

correctly locked in place. Without being properly

engaged, drawer stops may not function and

drawer could come off the drawer housing.

All mobile or stationary units must have a

counterweight.

Do not suspend 30" deep units.

Do not put excessive weight on top of a mobile or

stationary unit.

Mobile or stationary units should not be used as

supports for a work surface.

Haworth recommends unloading contents prior to

moving a pedestal. In addition, all drawers should

be closed and pedestal should be locked. If ped-

estal is non-locking, drawers should be unloaded

and taped shut to prevent accidental opening

during relocation.
