6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe down the stand with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Problem: Stand is unstable or wobbles.

Solution: Ensure the tripod legs are fully extended and locked into position. Verify the stand is placed on a flat, level surface. Check all assembly screws and knobs for tightness.

Problem: Music desk slides down or does not hold position.

Solution: Ensure the EZ Height Adjustment Grip is fully released after setting the height. If the issue persists, check for any obstructions in the shaft or wear on the internal locking mechanism. Do not exceed the stated load capacity.

Problem: Difficulty adjusting height.

Solution: Ensure the EZ Grip is fully pressed during adjustment. Clean the inner and outer shafts to remove any dirt or debris. A small amount of lubricant may be applied if movement is stiff.
