5. Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Humanscale eFloat Go desk.

• Cleaning: Wipe the desk surface and frame with a dry, soft cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by drying thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
• Environmental Conditions: Avoid direct sunlight exposure for extended periods, as this may affect the laminate finish.
• Weight Distribution: Do not place heavy objects exclusively on the edges of the desk. Distribute weight evenly across the surface.
• Cable Management: Periodically check that all cables are securely routed and not pinched or damaged.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your eFloat Go desk, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

6.1 Desk Not Moving

• Check Power: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the desk's control box and a functioning wall outlet.
• Reset Procedure: Perform the reset procedure described in Section 4.1.
• Overload Protection: If the desk has been overloaded (exceeding 250 lbs), the motor may have temporarily shut off. Remove excess weight and wait a few minutes before attempting to operate again.

6.2 Uneven Movement or Noise

• Check for Obstructions: Ensure there are no objects impeding the legs or frame during movement.
• Level Surface: Verify the desk is placed on a level floor. Adjust the leveling feet if necessary.
• Re-tighten Screws: Over time, some assembly screws may loosen. Carefully re-tighten all assembly screws.

6.3 Anti-Collision System Triggering Frequently

• Clear Path: Ensure the desk's path of movement is completely clear of any objects, cables, or walls.
• Sensitivity: If the issue persists without clear obstructions, contact Humanscale support for potential sensitivity adjustments or further diagnostics.
