4. Setup and Installation

Installation of the Foppapedretti wheels is designed to be straightforward. Follow these steps for proper attachment:

1. Prepare the Furniture: Ensure the crib or changing table is stable and on a flat surface. If replacing existing wheels, remove them carefully.
2. Identify Mounting Points: Locate the designated mounting points on the furniture legs. These wheels are designed for rod mounting.
3. Insert Wheels: Align the stem of each wheel with the corresponding hole in the furniture leg. Firmly push the wheel into place until it is securely seated.
4. Install Braked Wheels: It is recommended to install the two wheels with the brake system on the same side of the furniture (e.g., both on one short side or one long side) for optimal stability when locked.
5. Verify Security: After installing all four wheels, gently lift and lower the furniture to ensure all wheels are firmly attached and do not wobble.

5. Operating the Wheels

The Foppapedretti wheels are designed for easy maneuverability and secure positioning.

5.1 Moving the Furniture

To move the furniture, ensure that the brake levers on the two braked wheels are in the disengaged (unlocked) position. Gently push or pull the furniture to its desired location. The swivel design allows for smooth movement in any direction.

5.2 Engaging the Brakes

To secure the furniture in place, push down the red brake lever on each of the two braked wheels until it clicks into position. This will prevent the wheels from rolling, ensuring the furniture remains stationary. Always engage both brakes when the furniture is in its final position to prevent accidental movement.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Foppapedretti wheels, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the wheels periodically with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the wheels for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Ensure the rubber coating is intact and the brake mechanism functions smoothly.
• Lubrication: If the wheels become stiff or squeaky, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the swivel mechanism. Avoid oil-based lubricants that can attract dirt.
• Load Capacity: Do not exceed the recommended load capacity of 6 kg per wheel (24 kg total for the set of four) to prevent damage.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Foppapedretti wheels, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Wheels not rolling smoothly:
  • Check if the brakes are engaged. Disengage them if necessary.
  • Inspect for debris (hair, lint) caught in the wheel mechanism. Clean as needed.
  • Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the swivel mechanism if stiffness persists.
• Brakes not holding:
  • Ensure the brake lever is fully pushed down and clicked into place.
  • Check for any obstructions preventing the brake from engaging properly.
  • If the brake mechanism appears damaged, replacement may be necessary.
• Wheel detaches from furniture:
  • Re-insert the wheel firmly into the mounting point until it is securely seated.
  • If the mounting hole is damaged or enlarged, the furniture may require repair or the wheel may not be compatible.
