Rack warnings
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure
that:
•
The leveling jacks are extended to the floor.
•
The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.
•
The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack installation.
•
The racks are coupled together in multiple-rack installations.

Never stand in front of the rack when it is rolling down the ramp from the pallet.
Always handle the rack from both sides.
