Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly install the casters on your children's cot:
- Prepare the Cot: Carefully turn the cot upside down or lay it on its side to access the bottom of the legs. Ensure the cot is stable and will not tip over during installation.
- Insert Sockets (if necessary): If your cot legs do not have pre-drilled holes or existing sockets, gently insert the provided white sockets into the bottom of each cot leg. Ensure they fit snugly and are flush with the leg's surface. Some cot models may have integrated holes, making this step unnecessary.
- Attach Casters: Take one caster and align its stem with the socket (or pre-drilled hole) at the bottom of a cot leg. Firmly push the caster stem into the socket/hole until it is fully seated. You may hear a click, indicating it is locked into place.
- Repeat for All Legs: Repeat step 3 for the remaining three cot legs, ensuring all four casters are securely attached.
- Verify Stability: Once all casters are installed, carefully return the cot to its upright position. Gently push and pull the cot to ensure all casters roll smoothly and are securely attached. The cot should feel stable and balanced.
Note: If you encounter resistance or difficulty, do not force the casters. Consult your cot's manual for specific leg compatibility or seek professional assistance.
Operating Instructions
The Pinolino casters are designed for easy mobility on multi-surface floors, including textile surfaces. Simply push or pull the cot to move it to your desired location. These casters are swivel type, allowing for 360-degree rotation, which provides excellent maneuverability.
Important: These casters do not feature a locking mechanism. Always ensure the cot is placed in a safe, level area where unintended movement is not a concern, especially when the child is inside.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the casters periodically with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the casters for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Ensure the wheels spin freely and are not obstructed by lint or hair.
- Lubrication: If the casters become stiff or noisy, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the swivel mechanism and wheel axles.
Troubleshooting
- Caster not rolling smoothly:
- Check for debris (hair, lint) wrapped around the axle. Clean as necessary.
- Ensure the caster is fully seated in its socket.
- Apply lubricant if needed.
- Caster feels loose:
- Push the caster stem firmly back into the socket until secure.
- If the socket itself is loose in the cot leg, it may require a more permanent adhesive or replacement of the socket/leg.
- Cot is unstable:
- Verify all four casters are properly installed and fully seated.
- Ensure the cot is on a level surface.
- Check the cot's structural integrity independently of the casters.
