Product Image
An image of the Labconco 3613201 Telescoping Base Stand. The stand is constructed from light-colored metal tubing, forming a rectangular frame with four adjustable legs. Each leg is equipped with a black, toe-locking caster wheel. The frame includes horizontal and diagonal crossbar supports for structural integrity.
Safety Information
Read all instructions carefully before assembly and operation. Ensure all components are securely fastened. Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of 1000 pounds (453.6 kg). Use caution when adjusting height or moving the stand, especially with equipment in place. Always ensure the stand is stable before use.
Setup and Assembly
Unpacking
Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Verify that all parts are present according to the packing list (refer to your product's specific packing list). Inspect for any shipping damage before proceeding with assembly.
Assembly Steps
- Identify the main frame components and leg sections.
- Attach the casters or leveling feet to the bottom of each leg section. Ensure they are securely tightened using appropriate tools.
- Insert the adjustable leg sections into the main frame.
- Secure the leg sections at the desired height using the provided fasteners (e.g., bolts, pins). Ensure all four legs are set to the exact same height for optimal stability.
- Verify all connections are tight and the stand is stable and level before placing any equipment on it.
Operating Instructions
Height Adjustment
To adjust the height of the stand, ensure any equipment is removed or securely supported to prevent tipping. Loosen the fasteners on each leg, adjust the leg to the desired 1-inch increment, and re-tighten the fasteners securely. Always adjust all four legs evenly to maintain stability and prevent uneven loading.
Mobility (with Casters)
If your stand is equipped with casters, unlock the toe-locking mechanism on each caster before moving the stand. When the stand is in the desired position, engage the toe-locking mechanism on all casters to prevent unintended movement and ensure stability.
Stability (with Leveling Feet)
If your stand uses fixed leveling feet, ensure the stand is placed on a level surface. Adjust the leveling feet as necessary by rotating them to eliminate any wobbling and ensure maximum stability. All feet should be firmly in contact with the floor.
Maintenance
Cleaning
Clean the stand regularly with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or solvents that may damage the finish or material of the stand.
Inspection
Periodically inspect all fasteners, casters, and leveling feet for signs of wear, damage, or looseness. Tighten any loose connections immediately. Check casters for smooth operation and ensure their locking mechanisms engage properly.
Lubrication (for Casters)
If casters become stiff or difficult to swivel, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the swivel and wheel bearings. Do not over-lubricate.
Troubleshooting
Stand is Unstable/Wobbles
- Ensure all four legs are adjusted to the exact same height.
- Verify all assembly fasteners are securely tightened.
- If using leveling feet, adjust them to compensate for uneven floor surfaces until the stand is stable.
- If using casters, ensure all toe-locks are fully engaged when the stand is stationary.
Casters Not Rolling Smoothly
- Check for debris (e.g., dust, hair) or obstructions in the caster wheels and remove them.
- Lubricate the caster swivel and wheel bearings if necessary (refer to Maintenance section).
- Ensure casters are not locked by their toe-locking mechanism.
