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

3. Now prepare the VR Halo to mate with the top VR112 cabinet. Remove the quick release lock pins
from the Front Le and Right Halo Ears. Also, remove the quick release lock pin from the Rear Bottom
Halo Ear. See Fig. 17 and 17a.
4. Maneuver the Halo so that the top cabinets Front Hang Straps are inserted into the Front Halo Ears
of the Halo and the holes of the strap and the ears line up. Insert the quick release pins into the ears thru
the strap holes, rst the le then the right. See Fig. 18 and 18a

5. Maneuver the Halo so that the top cabinets Pivot Arm is inserted into the Bottom Halo Ear and the
bottom hole on the ear lines up with bushing on the Pivot Arm. Insert the quick release pin into the bot-
tom hole of the ear thru the bushing. See Fig. 19 and 19a
Figure 19 Figure 19a
6. Li the Halo with the Li just enough to add a small amount of tension between the cabinets and
the Halo.
7. Kneel down and remove the quick release pins separating the Bottom VR112 cabinet from the
brackets on the cart. You might have to maneuver the cart some by hand to make it easier to remove the
pins. See Fig. 20, 20a and 20b
Figure 20 Figure 20a

8. With the bottom cabinet unpinned from the cart, now the three units can be lied out of the cart
and the cart rolled out of the way.
Procedure for Placing a Stack of VR112 Cabinets
onto the VR Cart
NOTE: All cabinets being loaded onto the VR Cart must be set to 0 degrees angle between cabinets.
1. While lowering the array of VR112 cabinets, roll the VR Cart into position underneath the array
with the proper orientation of the brackets to hold the cabinet correctly. Remove the quick release pins
from the Front Cabinet Hang Strap Slots and the Pivot Bar Hole of the bottom cabinet. en, continue
to slowly lower the array and maneuvering the cart so that the bottom of the VR112 cabinet engages the
brackets on the cart, but not quite sitting on the cart’s base. e cabinet should be about 1” or slightly
more above the cart base. See g. 21

15
Figure 22
Figure 23
Figure 22a
2. Line up the hole on the Le Strap Stacking Bracket with the hole on the Le Front Cabinet Hang
Strap Slot. You might have to maneuver the cart to accomplish this. at includes slightly liing it. Once
the holes line up, insert the quick release pin into the hang strap hole of the ear thru the hole in the Strap
Stacking Bracket. Repeat for the right side of the cabinet and cart. See Fig. 22 and 22a

3. Line up the Pivot bar hole on the Angle Slider Bracket on the back of the bottom cabinet to the
bushing hole on the Rear Pivot Bar Bracket on the cart. You might have to maneuver the cart to accom-
plish this. at includes slightly liing it. Once the holes line up, insert the quick release pin into the Pivot
Bar Hole thru the bushing on the Rear Pivot Bar Bracket on the cart. See Fig. 23

16
4. If there is only 3 cabinets on the array on which these 3 cabinets are from, disconnect them from the
VR Halo. If they are from an array of 4 or more cabinets, disconnect them from the fourth cabinet in the
array. Li the VR Halo or the remaining cabinets up and away from the loaded cart. e 3 cabinet stack is
now ready to move around using the cart.
Cautions:
We recommend to stack only three cabinets to a Cart. While a taller stack would seem to be
accommodated, if more than three cabinets are stacked onto a Cart, then it could become
unstable and tip over.
When parking the VR Cart temporarily, or during transport in a truck, lock the front cast-
ers.
When transporting the VR Cart, in addition to locking the front casters, the handle slots
can be used for tie-down straps as needed.
