Maintenance

- Moving Parts: The gas spring mechanism is designed for maintenance-free operation. Do not attempt to lubricate or disassemble it.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your SHW Standing Desk Converter, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Desk is difficult to lower. | Gas spring resistance. | Apply firm, even downward pressure while holding the release levers. This is normal for gas spring mechanisms. |
| Desk feels wobbly. | Loose connections or uneven surface. | Ensure all assembly screws are tightened. Place the converter on a completely flat and stable desk surface. |
| Rubber feet are detaching. | Adhesive wear. | Re-attach with a strong adhesive. Consider placing the converter on a non-slip mat for added stability. |
| Desk does not lock at desired height. | Levers not fully released. | Ensure both release levers are fully returned to their locked position after adjusting the height. |
