Operating Instructions

Using your Origami R5 shelving unit is straightforward:

• Loading: Place items evenly on each shelf, starting from the bottom shelf for maximum stability. Do not overload any single shelf or the entire unit beyond its stated weight capacity.
• Moving (with wheels): To move the unit, ensure the path is clear and smooth. Push the unit gently from the side or back. Avoid sudden jerks or pushing over obstacles. If the unit is heavily loaded, consider unloading some items before moving.
• Folding for Storage: To fold the unit, first remove all items. Disengage the locking latches on the side frames. Lift the shelves slightly and push the side frames inward until the unit folds flat.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Origami R5 shelving unit:

• Cleaning: Wipe the unit with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
• Inspection: Periodically check all latches, screws (especially on wheels), and structural components for tightness and signs of wear. Tighten any loose fasteners.
• Storage: When not in use, store the folded unit in a dry environment to prevent rust or damage.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your shelving unit, refer to the following common solutions:

• Unit feels wobbly after setup: Ensure all locking latches on the side frames are fully engaged. Check that the unit is placed on a flat, level surface.
• Difficulty unfolding/folding: Ensure no parts are obstructed. Apply gentle, even pressure. If the unit has been stored for a long time, some joints might be stiff; gentle manipulation should resolve this.
• Wheels not rolling smoothly: Check if any debris is caught in the wheels. Ensure the wheels are securely tightened to the frame.
• Exceeding weight capacity: If shelves are sagging or the unit feels unstable, immediately remove items. Redistribute weight or reduce the load to stay within specified limits.
