ADA RACK HOLSTER APPLICATION NOTES
The RACK HOLSTER is designed to hold a single space rack device not weighing more than
20 Ibs. The recommended depth of the equipment mounted in the RACK HOLSTER should
be less than 12 inches. It is not recommended that the RACK HOLSTER be mounted during
long transport of the combo amp to which it is attached.
To mount the RACK HOLSTER, position the RACK HOLSTER against the combo amp,
aligning the round plastic clamps on the combo amp to the clamps on the RACK HOLSTER.
With the palm of your hand rap the right hand side near the right edge of the RACK
HOLSTER forcing the clamps to engage. Repeat this for the left side of the RACK
HOLSTER. Once connected, the clamps are very strong and are not easily separated. There
should be a slight gap between the combo amp rear surface and the RACK HOLSTER.
To remove the RACK HOLSTER, first unmount the rack mounted unit from the RACK
HOLSTER. Pull the right side directly back (horizontally) by grabbing the RACK HOLSTER
with both hands at the top and bottom edges at the right hand edge and quickly jerking it
away from the combo amp. Be sure that the combo amp will not tip over. Repeat this for the
other side of the RACK HOLSTER.
The RACK HOLSTER kit contains:
1 each RACK HOLSTER chassis
Length 19-1/2 inches
Width 2 inches
Depth 4 inches
4 each No. 10 x 1/2" screws ADA P/N 581178
4 each No. 10 black plastic washers ADA P/N 582419
