• Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 250 lbs. per shelf (without wheels) or 75 lbs. per shelf (with wheels).
• For garages or areas with uneven floors, use the smart-lock function on the caster wheels to secure the rack in place.
• Keep the rack away from high-traffic areas or areas where it could be bumped or knocked over.
• Inspect the rack regularly for any signs of wear, damage, or instability.
