F. FASTENING UPPER CABINET BASE TO LOWER CABINET TOP

1. Locate the 7/16 Inch (1.11cm) diameter hole in the four corners of the base of the upper cabinet.

2. Using this hole as a guide, carefully drill a 7/16 Inch (1.11cm) diameter hole through sheet metal on the top of

the lower cabinet.

3. The base of each stacked cabinet should be securely fastened, in each corner, to the cabinet below it. Use a

3/8 Inch (.953cm) diameter hexagon-cap screw, length as required, two 3/8 Inch (.953cm) diameter heavy-

duty flat washers, and a 3/8 Inch (.953cm) lock nut. The hexagon-cap screw with one flat washer should be

installed through the 7/16 Inch (1.11cm) diameter hole and into the lower cabinet. The other flat washer and

lock nut should be securely tightened on to the hexagon-cap screw. A total of four fasteners should be used.

(A standard 3/8 Inch (.953cm) lock washer and a 3/8 Inch (.953cm) standard nut may be used in place of

the lock nut.)

G. FASTENING BACK OF CABINET TO TRAILER SIDE-WALL

1. The back wall of each cabinet should be securely fastened to the semitrailer's side-wall tapping plates. Two

fasteners should be used for each tapping plate that passes behind the cabinet. Location for fasteners should

be centered on the tapping plate and within 2 Inch (5.08cm) of the cabinet sides.

2. Drill a 9/32 Inch (.281cm) diameter hole through the back of the cabinet and through the tapping plate.

NOTE

Do not drill deeper than 3/4 Inch (1.905cm) into the semitrailers side-wall or through the semitrailer side-wall

3. Perform this operation for each of the required fastening locations. Securely fasten back of cabinet to the

trailer's side-wall tapping plates using a 5/16 Inch (.794cm) diameter hexagon-cap self-tapping screw 3/4

Inch (1.905cm) long, a 5/16 Inch (.794cm) diameter heavy duty washer, and a 5/16 Inch (.794cm) diameter

fender washer. Insert the hexagon-cap self-tapping screw through the heavy-duty flat washer, through the

fender washer, through the back of the cabinet, and then, into the 9/32 Inch (.281cm) diameter hole. Se-

curely fasten the cabinet to the tapping plate. At least two fasteners should be used for each cabinet.
