PROPER PLACEMENT AND MOVING OF SAFE

1. To maximize burglary protection and stability, securing the safe to the floor or wall is recommended.
2. SA Consumer Products recommends that you store your safe in a closet, office, basement, bedroom or any other location that is convenient for you but out of direct line of sight from prying eyes.
3. Always ensure the safe is in an isolated and dry area. Never place the safe in direct contact with a wet floor. When installing your safe on a concrete floor, use of a moisture/protective barrier is highly recommended. Failure to do so, or exposing the safe to chemicals or other adverse environments, may void the warranty.

KEEPING YOUR SAFE DRY

We recommend placing a moisture/protective barrier between your safe and concrete floor to prevent any moisture, mildew and rust damage the safe. Installing your safe in a place with climate control (heat in the winter and cooling in the summer) is highly recommended. In areas of high humidity or frequent temperature fluctuations (garages) it is recommend to take appropriate precautions to ward against moisture damage. We strongly encourage the use of an internal dehumidifier and/or desiccants to protect your contents from rust or mildew. Internal dehumidifiers should not be in direct contact with the side or back walls.

SECURING YOUR SAFE

WARNING: YOUR SAFE IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT ITSELF WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED. HOWEVER, CAUTION SHOULD BE USED TO AVOID TIPPING. WHILE SECURING YOUR SAFE BE SURE TO HAVE A SECOND PERSON HOLD AND STABILIZE THE SAFE TO KEEP IT FROM TIPPING, CAUSING INJURY, AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE SAFE AND SURROUNDING STRUCTURES. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL COMPROMISE THE SAFETY, SECURITY, AND WARRANTY OF THE SAFE.

TOOLS NEEDED TO BOLT SAFE TO A CONCRETE SURFACE

• DRILL / HAMMER DRILL
• DRILL BIT – 3/8” ( for installing into concrete with provided hardware)
• WRENCH – 7/16” (10MM) SOCKET
• HAMMER
• SAFETY GLASSES
• GLOVES
• OTHER SAFETY EQUIPMENT AS NEEDED

1. Use the hardware provided or consult your hardware retailer for fastening hardware for your particular mounting surface.

2. Open your safe door and locate and remove the four black caps on the safe floor or back wall. This will provide access to the factory drilled bolt down holes.

3. To secure your safe to the floor it will first be necessary to drill pilot holes in the floor surface.

4. For the hardware provided (concrete floor installation) we recommend using a hammer drill and 3/8”concrete drill bit to drill the four corresponding holes in the concrete floor.

5. Insert and drive the plastic anchoring plugs into the pilot holes. You may need to use a hammer to fully insert the plugs into the pilot holes.

6. Secure the safe, by threading all anchor bolts through the factory drilled bolt down holes in the bottom of the safe and ratcheting down tight.
   ♦ Make sure the metal washer sits on top of the rubber washer. Tighten the bolt to compress the rubber washer between the safe and metal washer.
   Failure to do so will allow water to enter the safe in the event of a flood.

7. Replace the four black caps onto the floor or back wall of the safe.

LOADING YOUR SAFE

1. Store documents or heat sensitive items in the bottom of the safe for greatest protection against fire damage.
2. Store ammunition separately from valuables.
3. Do not put anything in your safe that will put pressure against the door when it is closed.
4. As a good safety precaution store heavier items either on the floor of the safe, or away from the middle of the shelves.
