Moving the Table

Operating the Table

Playing Position

Maintenance

Cleaning the Playing Surface

The 4mm melamine resin playing surface is scratch-resistant and weather-resistant. Clean the surface regularly with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.

Frame Maintenance

The 36mm frame is powder-coated and rust-resistant. Wipe down the frame with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Periodically check all bolts and screws for tightness and re-tighten if necessary.

Weather Resistance

The K3 Outdoor table is designed for outdoor use and is resistant to various weather conditions. However, for prolonged lifespan and to maintain its appearance, it is recommended to store the table in a sheltered area or use a protective cover when not in use for extended periods, especially during harsh weather.

Troubleshooting

• Table is wobbly: Check that all frame connections and leg locks are fully engaged and tightened. Ensure the table is on a flat, level surface.
• Difficulty folding/unfolding: Ensure all safety mechanisms are properly disengaged/engaged. Do not force the table. Check for any obstructions in the folding mechanism.
