7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your QuickStand ECO workstation.

• Worksurface Does Not Stay in Position:
  • Check Weight: Ensure the total weight on the workstation (monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc.) does not exceed the 35 lbs (15.9 kg) capacity. Overloading can cause the mechanism to slip.
  • Adjustment Mechanism: The QuickStand ECO uses a counterbalanced mechanism. If the workstation consistently sags or does not hold its position, it may indicate an issue with the internal spring system. Contact Humanscale support for assistance.
• Difficulty Adjusting Height:
  • Clear Obstructions: Ensure there are no cables or other objects obstructing the movement of the workstation.
  • Even Pressure: Apply even pressure when lifting or lowering the platform. Avoid pushing or pulling from one side only.
• Workstation Wobbles:
  • Stable Surface: Ensure the desk on which the QuickStand ECO is placed is stable and level.
  • Tighten Connections: Verify that all monitor mounting screws and any other accessible fasteners are securely tightened.
