WARNING

• This cart is design to carry one Mig Welder and one gas cylinder only.
Always use caution when working with welding bottles. Store the cylinder
in an upright position and make sure the retaining chains are securing
the welding cylinder tightly at all times.

• Never weld on the welding cylinder.

• The cart is designed to roll on level surfaces only to use otherwise is
inviting the cart to be unstable and maybe tipping over and resulting in
injury and possible death.

• When moving the welding cart steer with the top shelf and take extra
precautions as the cart may be top-heavy and subject to tipping over.

• Never try to move the cart by pulling on any welding cables or welding
gun as this could cause the cart to tip over and possible result
in injury or death.

• Do not allow ground cable connection to come in contact with any part
of the welding cart or cylinder as this will complete a circuit which could
result in electrical arching.

• Failure to adhere to the above precautions could result
in serious injury or death.
