5.2 Moving the Stand

The stand is equipped with five casters for easy mobility.

• To Move: Ensure the caster locks (if present on your model) are disengaged. Gently push or pull the stand to its desired location.
• To Secure: Once in position, engage the caster locks on at least two casters to prevent the stand from rolling unintentionally.

6. Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning the Glass Top: Use a standard glass cleaner and a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the glass surface. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the glass.
• Cleaning the Metal Frame: Wipe the aluminum and chrome parts with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by drying thoroughly.
• Caster Maintenance: Periodically check the casters for any accumulated debris (hair, dust, etc.) and clean them to ensure smooth rolling.
• Tighten Connections: Every few months, inspect all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary to maintain stability.

7. Troubleshooting

• Stand Does Not Adjust Height:
  • Ensure the height adjustment lever is fully engaged when attempting to raise or lower the stand.
  • If the stand is stuck in a low position, try applying more downward pressure while lifting the lever. If stuck high, try lifting the lever without pressure first, then apply pressure.
  • Verify that no obstructions are preventing the pole from moving freely.
• Stand is Unstable/Wobbly:
  • Check all assembly screws and connections, especially those attaching the glass top and the main support pole to the base. Tighten any loose fasteners.
  • Ensure the stand is placed on a level surface.
  • Verify that all casters are fully inserted into the base.
• Casters Do Not Roll Smoothly:
  • Check for and remove any debris (e.g., hair, lint) wrapped around the caster wheels.
  • Ensure caster locks are disengaged.
