3. Setup and Assembly
The Advance Tabco TKMS-3010 work table is designed for straightforward assembly. Follow these steps carefully:
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage. Report any damage to your supplier immediately.
- Component Check: Verify that all parts are present:
- Stainless steel top with 5" backsplash
- Stainless steel legs (4)
- Adjustable bullet feet (4)
- Aluminum die-cast leg-to-shelf clamps (if applicable for undershelf, though this model is open base, clamps are for leg stability)
- Hardware (if any, for leg attachment)
- Leg Attachment:
Position the stainless steel top upside down on a protected, non-abrasive surface. Insert the stainless steel legs into the designated sockets on the underside of the table top. Ensure the legs are fully seated and secured. The welded gussets support the hat sections, providing robust leg attachment points.

- Adjusting Bullet Feet: Once the table is upright, adjust the bullet feet at the bottom of each leg. Rotate them clockwise or counter-clockwise until the table is perfectly level and stable on the floor. This is crucial for safe operation and preventing wobbling.
- Final Inspection: Before use, double-check all connections and ensure the table is stable and secure.
4. Operating Instructions
The Advance Tabco TKMS-3010 work table is designed for general commercial use. No specific operational procedures are required beyond proper placement and maintenance.
- Work Surface: Utilize the 16 gauge stainless steel top as a durable and hygienic surface for food preparation, equipment placement, or general workspace needs.
- Backsplash: The 5-inch backsplash helps contain spills and protects the wall behind the table from splashes and debris.
- Weight Capacity: While robust, avoid placing excessive or concentrated loads that exceed the table's structural integrity. Distribute weight evenly across the surface.
- Environment: Ensure the operating environment is suitable for stainless steel equipment, avoiding highly corrosive chemicals or extreme temperatures that could compromise the material.
5. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life and maintain the appearance of your stainless steel work table.
- Daily Cleaning: Wipe down the stainless steel surface daily with a soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent solution. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry immediately to prevent water spots.
- Stubborn Stains: For more stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. Always rub in the direction of the grain to avoid scratching.
- Avoid: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals (e.g., bleach, strong acids) as these can damage the stainless steel finish.
- Legs and Feet: Periodically check the legs and adjustable bullet feet for cleanliness and ensure they remain securely tightened and level.
- Sound Deadening: The sound deadened top requires no special maintenance, but ensure no liquids or debris accumulate in crevices.
6. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your work table.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Table is wobbly/unstable | Uneven floor; improperly adjusted bullet feet; loose leg connections. | Adjust the bullet feet until the table is level and stable. Ensure all leg connections are secure. |
| Water spots or streaks on stainless steel | Improper drying after cleaning; hard water. | Always dry the surface immediately after cleaning. Use a stainless steel cleaner/polish to remove existing spots. |
