Exploded Parts Diagram and Bill of Materials
Using the cart
Items should fit entirely within the shelves without hanging over the sides of the shelves. Center and
evenly distribute items on the shelves. Load the lower shelf first.
ALWAYS lock both swiveling casters before climbing the steps. To lock a caster, press down on the
brake lever. The brake should press firmly against the surface of the caster.
Improper use could result in serious personal injuries.
Do not stand on the top shelf.
Load capacity (in pounds) per shelf is 550 lb. (250kg). Overall capacity of the cart is 1000 lb. (454.5kg).
The capacity of the step assembly is 350 pounds.
Each cart is labeled with its capacity (see “Labeling diagram,” on p. 4). The label indicates the
net
capacity
of the cart, i.e. the weight of all ancillary equipment (such as tools) added to the cart must be
added to the weight of the load. The total weight must be less than or equal to the rated capacity of the
cart: Weight of load + weight of ancillary equipment = (or less than) Capacity
Inspections & Maintenance
Before using the cart for the first time, make a written record of its appearance. Include observations
about the casters, shelves, frame, and welds. Pay particular attention to the step assembly. When weight is
applied to a step, the entire assembly should slide downwardly bringing both rubber feet into firm contact
with the ground. Include observations about the springs as the step assembly moves. This record
establishes “normal condition”. During future inspections, compare the cart to the written record to
determine if it is in normal condition. DO NOT use the cart unless it is in normal condition.
At least once per month inspect the following:
