Setup and Assembly
The Bits and Pieces Adjustable Puzzle Tableau requires assembly. While generally straightforward, having a second person may assist with certain steps, particularly when attaching casters.
Included Components:
- Tabletop with felt surface
- Table legs and frame components
- Swivel casters (wheels)
- Hardware (screws, bolts, etc.)
- Assembly tools (screwdriver may be recommended, though some tools might be included)
Assembly Steps:
- Unpack all components and verify against the parts list (refer to your included manual for a detailed list).
- Assemble the main frame structure according to the diagrams in your manual. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Attach the swivel casters to the base of the table legs. This step may require firm pressure.
- Secure the tabletop to the assembled frame, ensuring the tilting mechanism is correctly aligned.
- Tighten all screws and fasteners to ensure stability.
Note: Some users have found instructions to be less clear for specific hardware updates. Exercise patience and ensure correct orientation of parts during assembly.
Operating Instructions
Adjusting Table Tilt:
- Locate the side wheels or adjustment knobs on the table frame.
- Loosen the knobs to allow the tabletop to move freely.
- Carefully tilt the tabletop to your desired angle, from flat to up to 40 degrees.
- Once the desired angle is achieved, tighten the adjustment knobs securely to lock the tabletop in place.
Moving the Table:
- Ensure the tabletop is in a flat or securely tilted position before moving.
- Unlock the swivel casters by disengaging their locking mechanisms (if present).
- Gently roll the table to your desired location.
- Once positioned, engage the caster locks to prevent unintended movement.
Using the Felt Surface:
- The non-slip felt surface is designed to keep puzzle pieces in place, even when tilted.
- Place your puzzle directly on the felt surface for assembly.
- Pieces can be easily slid across the felt when needed, but will remain stationary when the table is still.
Maintenance
Product Care:
- Wipe the tabletop and storage areas with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the finish.
- For stubborn stains, use a mild cleanser, rinse thoroughly, and dry afterward.
Checking Stability:
- Regularly inspect leg connections and adjustment mechanisms for tightness.
- Tighten any loose fasteners to maintain the table's stability and prevent wobbling.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues and Solutions:
- Difficulty with Assembly: If instructions are unclear, refer to online resources or contact customer support. Ensure all parts are correctly oriented before tightening.
- Tilting Mechanism Not Smooth: Check that all adjustment knobs are sufficiently loosened before attempting to tilt. Ensure no obstructions are present in the tilting mechanism.
- Table Wobbles: Verify that all assembly screws and fasteners are tightened. Ensure casters are locked when the table is stationary.
- Casters Not Rolling Smoothly: Check for any debris or hair caught in the caster wheels. Ensure the caster locks are fully disengaged.
