4. Setup and Assembly Instructions

Assembly of the VCM Mobile Lectern requires careful attention. Follow the included assembly instructions step-by-step. It is recommended to assemble the unit on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.

4.1 General Assembly Tips

• Identify all parts before starting.
• Use the correct hardware for each step as indicated in the instructions.
• Do not overtighten screws, as this can damage the wood.
• Some users have reported that pre-drilled holes may not always be clearly marked; verify positions before drilling if necessary.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Adjusting the Top Plate Height

The top plate of the lectern is designed to be height-adjustable. To adjust the height, locate the securing mechanism (e.g., screws or a plastic cap) beneath the top plate. Loosen this mechanism, set the plate to your desired height between approximately 108 cm and 120 cm, and then firmly re-secure the mechanism to prevent movement. Ensure the plate is stable before placing items on it.

5.2 Using the Lockable Drawer

The lectern features a lockable drawer for secure storage of documents, pens, or other small items. Insert the provided key into the lock and turn to secure or unlock the drawer. Always ensure the drawer is fully closed before moving the lectern.

5.3 Mobility and Stability

The four integrated wheels allow for easy movement of the lectern. To move, simply unlock the wheel brakes (if engaged) and push the lectern to the desired location. Once positioned, engage the wheel brakes to prevent unintended movement and ensure stability during use.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
• Hardware: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
• Wheels: Keep the wheels free of debris to ensure smooth movement. If a wheel becomes damaged, contact customer support for replacement options.
• Lock: Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant to the drawer lock if it becomes stiff.

7. Troubleshooting

• Difficulty with Assembly: Refer to the included assembly instructions carefully. If pre-drilled holes are unclear, verify placement before proceeding. Contact customer support if parts are missing or damaged.
• Wheels Detaching or Breaking: Ensure wheels are securely attached during assembly. Avoid excessive force when moving the lectern, especially over uneven surfaces. Replacement wheels may be available from the manufacturer.
• Top Plate Not Adjusting: Some models may have a securing cap or screw that needs to be loosened before height adjustment. Ensure it is fully disengaged before attempting to change height.
• Drawer Not Locking Smoothly: Check for any obstructions in the drawer mechanism. Ensure the key is fully inserted and turned correctly.
