3. Connect Table Halves: Position the two table halves side-by-side. Align the connecting mechanisms. Secure them according to the instructions, typically involving a central locking system or bolts.

4.1 Folding and Unfolding the Table

The JOOLA J500A table can be folded for compact storage or for solo play. Each half of the table can be moved independently.

1. To Fold: Unlock any safety latches. Carefully lift one end of a table half, allowing the legs to fold underneath. Guide the table half into its vertical storage position. Engage the double anti-tilt protection mechanism to secure it. Repeat for the other half.
2. To Unfold: Disengage the double anti-tilt protection. Carefully lower each table half from its vertical position, allowing the legs to extend. Ensure the legs are fully locked into place before connecting the two halves and installing the net.

4.2 Solo Play Mode

To practice alone, fold one half of the table into the vertical position while leaving the other half flat. This allows you to hit the ball against the folded half, which acts as a rebound board.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life and performance of your table tennis table.

• Cleaning the Surface: Wipe the playing surface with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the aluminum composite surface. Dry thoroughly.
• Frame and Legs: Clean the powder-coated metal frame and legs with a damp cloth. Inspect for any signs of rust or damage.
• Wheels: Periodically check the wheels for debris and ensure they roll smoothly. Lubricate axles if necessary.
• Fasteners: Regularly inspect all bolts, nuts, and screws to ensure they remain tight. Tighten any loose fasteners.
• Storage: Although weatherproof, storing the table in a sheltered area or using a protective cover when not in use will help preserve its condition and appearance over time.

6. Troubleshooting

• Table is Uneven: Adjust the height-adjustable feet on the table legs until the playing surface is level. Ensure the table is on a flat ground.
• Table Wobbles: Check all frame connections and fasteners. Tighten any loose bolts. Ensure the table is fully unfolded and locked into position.
• Difficulty Folding/Unfolding: Ensure all safety latches are disengaged. Check for any obstructions in the folding mechanism. Apply a small amount of lubricant to hinges if movement is stiff.
• Net is Loose: Re-adjust the net tensioning system on the posts. Ensure the posts are securely clamped to the table.
