General Safety Summary
Observe these safety precautions when using the K4000 Transport Cart.
Keep the K4000 Level
Keep the K4000 level at all times, especially when it is loaded with instruments.
The cart is designed to be very stable, but it can fall over if tilted to extremes.
Observe this precaution especially in these cases:
HWhen rolling the cart across uneven floors.
HWhen rolling the cart through doorways with uneven thresholds.
HWhen lifting the cart wheels over cables.
HWhen rolling the cart up or down ramps.
Do Not Overload Shelves
Do not put more weight on any cart shelf than is listed in the specifications.
Load the top of the cart evenly.
Observe Electrical Safety
All parts of the cart must be treated as electrical conductors, even if they appear
to be nonconducting. Do not rely on the casters to provide insulation between the
cart and the surface it stands on. Conversely, do not rely on the casters to provide
a conductive ground path for the cart.
Test the Stability of Custom Configurations
Changes in shelf location and loading can affect the balance of the cart. If you
arrange the shelves differently from the configuration described in this manual,
test the cart carefully for stability before using it.

K4000 Transport Cart Instructions 1
Introduction
The Tektronix K4000 Transport Cart requires some assembly. This manual tells
how to assemble and use the cart.
You can assemble the K4000 Transport Cart by yourself, but it is easier if you
have another person to help you.
You will need a large flat area to assemble the cart. The area should be level and
large enough to move the various parts into place. A carpeted floor space is ideal.
Assembly will require approximately 2 hours.
Tools
You will need a 3/4 inch (19 mm) open--end wrench, or an adjustable wrench that
can be adjusted to that size.
Other tools are included with the K4000 Transport Cart. These include a 3/16
inch Allen wrench and a circular bubble level.
Parts Identification
The large pieces of the K4000 Transport Cart are packed separately in the
shipping carton. A bag of small parts is packed in a box with the casters and
other small parts. The included tools are also packed in this bag. Figure 1 on
page 2 shows the small parts you will be using.
Table 1 on page 3 lists all the parts needed to assemble the cart, including the
large pieces and assemblies. Take an inventory now to familiarize yourself with
the parts for the assembly process.
