3. Remove the front hardware holding the library on the

pallet.

a. Use the 9/16” wrench to remove the bolts and

hold-down brackets.

Lift the front crossbar ends, as needed, for access.

b. Carefully roll the library back 1.25” (3cm) and

remove the front crossbar.

c. Use the adjustable wrench to loosen and raise the

two leveling legs (Figure 6).

4. Verify that all four leveling legs can clear the floor at

the bottom of the ramp and that the library is only

supported by the four caster wheels.

WARNING: Most of the weight of a library is located

in the rear. If the leveling legs are not raised high

enough, they can catch at the bottom of the ramps,

tipping over the library.

5. Carefully move the library down the ramps and onto

the floor.

CAUTION: Do not pull on the media drawer handles

when moving the library.

Before moving the library to its final operating position,

attach the doors.

1. Reattach the back door to the rear of the library.

2. Remove the two doors from the Door shipping box;

then, remove them from their plastic shipping bags.

NOTE: The square, straight end of the door is the top and the

curved end is the bottom.

3. Locate the bag of nylon washers taped inside one of

the doors.

The washers are used as bearings between the hinges.

4. Attach the left door (Figure 7).

a. Lift the top hinge pin just enough to retract the tip

into the left door’s hinge block.

b. Place one nylon washer onto the bottom hinge pin

that protrudes below the door hinge block.

It is held in place by the hinge pin’s ball retainer.

c. Position the door vertically with the bottom hinge

pin above the library hinge block hole and seat it.

d. Raise the door slightly, push down the top hinge.

pin slightly, and place a nylon washer onto it.

It is held in place by the hinge pin’s ball retainer.

e. Lower the door so that the top hinge pin is above

the library hinge block hole and seat it.

5. Check the door to make sure it closes smoothly, yet is

held firmly.

6. If the door does not close as described in Step 5, adjust

it for alignment and operation:

a. Using the flat-blade offset screwdriver, unscrew the

door checks in both left library hinge blocks until

the door closes freely (Figure 7 on page 3).

b. Close the door and check that the top edge of the

door meets the front panel façade evenly.

•If the door is low, add washers to raise the door.

•If the door is high, remove the top washer.

CAUTION: The weight of the door should be

carried by at least one hinge with a nylon washer

(i.e., there must be at least one washer).

c. When the door height is correct, screw in the door

checks until the door closes smoothly, yet is held

firmly.

7. Repeat Steps 4–5 for the right door; if needed,

repeat Step 6.

Move the library into its final position and level it:

CAUTION: Do not pull on the media drawer handles

when moving the library.

1. Position the library at its operating location.

2. Run down all four leveling legs by hand until they

contact the floor.

3. Using the 10” adjustable wrench, turn each leg, one

after the other in equal increments, until you have

turned them at least one full turn.

NOTE: Be sure the library has been raised high enough so

none of the casters touch the floor.

4. Place the level, front to rear, on the top side edge of

the library (see Figure 8).

5. Note the position of the bubble. Raise both of the front

legs or both of the rear legs the same amount to

achieve a level front-to-rear reading.

6. Place the level across the top front edge of the library.

7. Note the position of the bubble. Raise both of the left

feet or both of the right feet the same amount to

achieve a level side-to-side reading.

8. Recheck the level from front-to-rear and from

side-to-side. Adjust as needed until the library is level.

You are now ready to connect the library to your network. Refer to the Overland NEO 8000 Library User Guide for
