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.
