5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and safe operation of your shelving unit.
- Cleaning: Wipe down metal parts with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Dry thoroughly to prevent rust on galvanized surfaces. Clean MDF shelves with a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid excessive moisture.
- Inspection: Periodically check all connections to ensure they remain secure. If any parts appear loose, re-secure them.
- Stability Check: Regularly verify that the shelving unit remains stable and level. Adjust if necessary.
- Damage: If any part of the unit becomes damaged, especially structural components, discontinue use and replace the damaged parts or the entire unit.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your shelving unit, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Unit is wobbly or unstable | Uneven floor; loose connections; overloaded shelves; improper assembly. | Ensure the unit is on a level surface. Check all plug-in connections and secure them. Redistribute weight evenly. Review assembly steps. |
| Shelf sags or bows | Overloaded shelf; weight not evenly distributed. | Reduce the load on the shelf. Ensure weight is spread out. Verify the central crossbar is correctly installed. |
| Difficulty during assembly | Parts not aligned correctly; burrs on metal. | Ensure components are aligned precisely before applying force. A rubber mallet can assist in seating connections. Check for any obstructions in slots. |
