Utilization Notes
- Never push the trolley by the top cable rack. Always push it by the grey curved handles.
- Take the time to run the cables neatly the first time. Time spent here will save you time during usage.
- The test cables are run up behind shelf (1) and hung from the test cable rack (8).
- Power cables for the GT1 and MIB are run down behind shelves 2 and 4. A power strip can be installed behind drawer 5 and the power cable run out through the opening in the back of the trolley.
- A Deutronic battery charger can be placed on shelf 4. The cables are stored in drawer 5 when not in use.
- Take care to properly replace all cables when finished. Proper cable storage saves everyone time and money.
