Safety Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to ensure a safe and stable rack installation. Failure to follow
these guidelines may result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.
1. This Caster Kit will attach to any RACK-111, however, we only recommended casters for 24U
and shorter racks.
2. Do not attempt to move or upright the rack by yourself. Always use at least two people to
perform these tasks.
3. Use caution when moving across uneven or rough surfaces, as the casters may catch or stop.
4. Always install the heaviest rack mount equipment at the bottom of the rack.
5. Only extend one box at time out from the rack. Extending more than one unit at a time may
cause the rack to become unstable.
