Handling and Care

Never carry the counter at!
1 Lift the counter (using two people
for counters 50" or larger) from the
front side, leaving the back side on
the bottom of the box. Bring to a
vertical position.
2 Remove the counter from the box while maintaining it's vertical position. It is
acceptable to use the sink openings as grasp locations, but highly preferable to also
support it from the bottom. The vertical position must be maintained during the entire
moving process.
3 When installing the counter on the cabinet it is important to lift carefully,
ensuring that the counter does not strike the cabinet, while still maintaining the
vertical positioning. Counters can be heavy, so don't attempt this if you are not
capable of handling the weight. While lifting the counter up and over the cabinet,
gently place the back side of the counter close to the back of the top of the
cabinet while standing to either side of the cabinet.
4 Lower the counter so that it lays at on
the cabinet, while supporting it from the
side and front. Be careful not to catch your
ngers under the counter. It is best to lower
the counter by supporting from the front as
it comes down onto the cabinet.
Never lift the counter at!
