carriage bolt assemblies and the tiedown bars and bolts, if reuse is anticipated. Be sure to remove
all remaining barrier material from the underside of the cabinet base. Lower the cabinet to the
floor in the desired position and remove the sling and hoist.

It is recommended that the cabinet be left bolted to the shipping
pallet until time to place it in the installation position. All
receiving inspection actions can be conducted without removal from
the pallet.
