and the top end either into the Yoke or resting against the Yoke Assembly.
ock the Front Braking Swivel Casters when the Guitar Storage Rack is in the desired location.
Unlock the casters to move the rack to a different location.
If there are instruments on the Guitar Storage Rack while it is being moved, more than one person
is required to move the rack.
Move the rack slowly and carefully while holding the instruments in place to prevent them from hitting
each other.
SECURE AN INSTRUMENT
To secure an instrument in the Guitar Storage Rack:
1. Place the instrument onto the Guitar Storage Rack with the neck resting in the Yoke.
2. From the underside of the Yoke, wrap the Security Cable across the neck of the instrument
and secure with a padlock (not included) on the other side of the Yoke.
The Security Cable and Yoke are designed to accomodate a padlock that is
1/2” wide x 5/8” tall with a 3/16” maximum diameter shackle, such as the
Masterlock 131 Series.
