SAFETY WARNINGS
CAUTION! Do not transport any extra items loose in the bottom of the VR Cart.
Do not allow any items to stick out past the edges of the VR Cart, such as attached cables, safety ropes or
wires, etc. We recommend disconnecting all wiring: signal, AC, and netword cables from the cabinets
before they are moved.
Use the VR Cart only on smooth level surfaces. Use on a ramp or incline is at the user’s own risk!
Before moving the VR Cart, make sure the VR112 cabinets are secure and pinned into place correctly.
Check by gently tugging on the stack while the VR Cart is standing still, and with the help of a second person
there to help stabilize the VR Cart if needed.

Make sure the front casters are unlocked before attempting to move the VR Cart.
Keep yourself and the VR Cart wheels away from dock, stage or platform edges.
Do not attempt to “Jump a Curb” with the VR Cart loaded with cabinets.
Do not attempt to roll over large cables, pipes or other obstacles with a loaded VR Cart.
.
Do not attempt to roll over loose debris, confetti, leaves or other loose and shiing materials with a loaded VR
Cart.
For maximum control and safety, transport the VR Cart using two people, one on either side or end of the VR
Cart.
When parking the VR Cart temporarily or during transport in a truck, lock the front casters.
DO NOT USE THE STACKED ARRAY AS A LADDER, OR ATTEMPT TO CLIMB UP THE STACKED
VR112 CABINETS!
DOING SO IS LIKELY TO DAMAGE THE CABINET HARDWARE AND RIGGING, AS WELL AS POSE A
SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS SAFETY HAZARD!
Correct use and seating of the Quick Release Push Lock Pins Used with all Versarray™
rigging hardware
When using the Quick Release Positive Lock Pins, when the Quick Release Push Lock Pins are inserted, they
should be fully seated, so that the black shoulder near the end of the pin has been placed ush with the side of
the bracket, or as far in as the pin hole cavity will allow it to be inserted.
You will have to fully depress the center push-button to do this.
You should not be able to pull these pins out unless the center push-button is fully depressed.

2. Remove the Pivot Bar hole pin from the Angle Slider Bracket. Swing the Pivot Bar up and
out of the way. See Fig. 2 and 2a
3. Preset the angle for the rst VR112 cabinet to 0 degrees by removing the pin from the Lock Pin hole
on the Angle Slider Bracket. Adjust the Angle Slider Bracket until the angle arrow lines up with the 0 deg.
angle point as shown by the arrow labeled Angle on the Angle Slider Rail. e VR Cart will only allow for
the rst cabinet to be adjusted to the angles of 0 degrees. Insert the pin into the Angle Pin hole. is sets
the angle of the cabinet. See Fig. 3 and 3a

5. Maneuver the cabinet by hand to allow the holes on the Strap Stacking brackets and
the cabinet bottom strap slots to line up. is can be achieved easily by carefully setting the cabinet down
initially lining up the Strap Slots on the cabinet with the Strap Stacking Brackets. Also, lining up the Rear
Pivot Bar Bracket with the Angle Slider Bracket on the cabinet. Raise the cabinet up so the front is parallel
with the surface of the cart and pin rst one side than the other.
e pins will slide in when the cabinet is raised slightly above the base of the cart, they won’t slide in if the
cabinet is resting on the base. See Fig 5
6. Using the handle mounted on the back of the cabinet, adjust the back of the cabinet up or down to
align the Pivot Bar hole on the Angle Slider Bracket to the pin hole on the Rear Pivot Bar Bracket mounted
on the cart. Once the holes on the two brackets align, insert the Lock Pin. See Fig. 6 and 6a

1. Start by preparing the rst cabinet to receive the second cabinet. is is done by removing the top
front quick release lock pins. Slide the front hang straps up and pin them in place using the pins that were
just removed. See g. 8. Swing the pivot bar upwards so that it would be able to mate up with the second
cabinet. See Fig. 8a
6. e rst cabinet is now in place and is now ready to receive the second and third cabinets.
See Fig. 7. No more than a total of 3 cabinets are to be stacked on to the cart. More than 3 will make the
cart unstable.
