Standard K212 Cart
This section contains a description of the standard K212 cart, assembly
instructions, adjustment procedure, and application suggestions. Please read all
instructions completely before assembling, adjusting, or loading the cart.
A description of the K212 cart options begins on page 12, including instructions
for installing the options.
Top Tray
Friction Brakes
Retaining Straps
Support Frame
The top tray tilts so your instrument can be used in a convenient position. The
K212 cart comes with retaining hardware to securely place instruments on the
top tray (refer to Install the Instrument Retainers on page 8). The top tray
accommodates loads up to 80 pounds (36. kg).
WARNING. Never use the top tray as a seat. Doing so could result in serious
injury to you and serious damage to the cart and instrument.
The top tray is connected to the support frame through two friction brakes that
can be set to any angle through 240_ of travel. These brakes are easily adjusted
to accommodate the weight of your particular instrument (refer to Top Tray
Brake Adjustment on page 10).
Two straps are provided for securing instruments to the top tray. Threading and
installation procedures are discussed under Install the Instrument Retainers on
page 8.
The support frame is constructed of aluminum to provide maximum strength,
durability, and low weight.
Base
Locking Casters
K212 Portable Instrument Cart
The base is constructed of durable thermoset polyester and will accommodate
loads up to 100 pounds (45.4 kg).
The front casters include brakes that will prevent a fully loaded cart (180 pounds,
81.6 kg) from rolling on a 10_ incline. The brakes are set on or off by pushing
the lever on each wheel with your foot or hand.
