◾ Note: Where there is an asymmetrical distribution of weight, the
stability of the TS IT Pro is at risk. Never open heavy doors etc.
(one-piece, solid sheet steel doors or doors with glass insert) to the
same side without fi rst securing the TS IT Pro to the fl oor.
◾ Caution when using telescopic slides: The TS IT Pro must be
secured to the fl oor or bayed to other TS IT Pro before extending
devices on telescopic slides.
Only one device at a time may be in the set forward position.
If for some reason more than one device is extended at the same time,
the stability of the TS IT Pro may be at risk.
