5.1 Height Adjustment

To adjust the height of the desk, locate the height adjustment knob on the vertical support pole (see Figure 5.1). Loosen the knob by turning it counter-clockwise. Carefully raise or lower the desktop to your desired height. Once the desired height is reached, firmly tighten the knob by turning it clockwise to secure the desk in place.

5.2 Desktop Tilting

The main desktop panel can be tilted to various angles for ergonomic comfort. Locate the tilt adjustment knobs beneath the main desktop panel (see Figure 5.1). Loosen these knobs by turning them counter-clockwise. Adjust the desktop to your preferred angle. The desk supports 360-degree tilting (see Figure 5.2). Once the desired angle is set, firmly tighten both knobs to lock the desktop in position. Ensure the safety edge stopper is in place to prevent items from sliding off.

5.3 Mobility and Locking Casters

The desk is equipped with four omni-directional casters for easy movement. To move the desk, ensure all casters are unlocked. To secure the desk in a stationary position, push down on the locking levers located on each caster (see Figure 5.1). Ensure all four casters are locked for maximum stability during use.

5.4 Versatile Desktop Use

The desk features two desktop panels: a larger main panel that tilts, and a smaller fixed panel. You can choose to place your laptop on either the tilting or fixed side, depending on your preference and activity. The fixed panel is ideal for a mouse, coffee cup, or other accessories, while the tilting panel is perfect for typing or reading (see Figure 5.3).

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the desk surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and knobs to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability.
• Casters: Keep the casters free of hair, dust, and debris to ensure smooth rolling.

7. Troubleshooting

• Desk wobbles: Ensure all assembly screws are fully tightened. Check that the height and tilt adjustment knobs are securely fastened. Make sure the desk is on a level surface.
• Difficulty adjusting height/tilt: Loosen the respective adjustment knobs sufficiently before attempting to move the desk. If resistance persists, check for any obstructions.
• Casters not rolling smoothly: Inspect the casters for any trapped debris (e.g., hair, lint) and remove it. Ensure the caster locks are disengaged.
