- Inspection: Periodically inspect the rollers for smooth rotation and any signs of wear or damage. Check all structural components for bends, cracks, or loose fasteners.
- Lubrication (if applicable): If your model has moving parts that require lubrication (e.g., height adjustment mechanisms), apply a light coat of appropriate lubricant as needed to ensure smooth operation.
