3. Setup
3.1 Unpacking and Inspection
Carefully remove the workbench from its packaging. It is recommended to have at least two people for this process due to the unit's weight. Inspect the unit for any shipping damage. If damage is found, do not proceed with assembly and contact customer support immediately.

3.2 Pegboard and Shelf Assembly
The flip-up pegboard comes pre-attached. To raise it, carefully lift it into the upright position until it locks securely. The adjustable 48-inch shelf can be mounted to the pegboard in three different positions. Select the desired height and secure the shelf using the provided hardware.
3.3 Power Strip Connection
Locate the integrated power strip on the exterior of the unit, typically near the handle. Extend the power cord and plug it into a grounded electrical outlet. The cord hooks can be used to store the power cord when not in use.

- Drawer Slides: Periodically inspect the ball-bearing drawer slides for smooth operation. If they become stiff, apply a small amount of silicone lubricant.
- Casters: Check casters regularly for debris accumulation and ensure they roll freely. Clean as needed.
- General Inspection: Routinely check all bolts, screws, and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Tighten any loose hardware.
