- Final Tightening: Once all shelves and legs are in place and aligned, progressively tighten all bolts and nuts until secure. Do not overtighten.
- Adjust Height (if applicable): If your model features adjustable height legs, unlock the adjustment mechanism (e.g., release pins or loosen knobs), raise or lower the shelves to the desired height, and then securely lock the mechanism.

5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Adjusting Cart Height
To adjust the height of the cart, locate the adjustment pins or knobs on each leg. Unlock them, carefully raise or lower the shelves to your preferred working height, ensuring all four legs are set to the same level. Once the desired height is achieved, securely lock the pins or tighten the knobs on all legs to prevent accidental movement.
5.2 Using the Pullout Keyboard Tray
The keyboard tray is designed to slide out for use and retract for storage. To use, gently pull the tray forward until it locks into place. To retract, push the tray back into its housing until it is fully nested under the top shelf.
5.3 Extending and Folding Drop-Leaf Side Shelves
The cart features two drop-leaf side shelves for expanded workspace. To extend a shelf, lift it until it is level with the top surface and engage the support mechanism (e.g., a hinge lock or support arm). To fold, disengage the support mechanism and gently lower the shelf until it hangs vertically alongside the cart.
5.4 Moving and Securing the Cart
To move the cart, ensure the locking brakes on the casters are disengaged. Push or pull the cart using the integrated handle or the frame. To secure the cart in place, press down on the locking levers of the two braked casters until they are firmly engaged.
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe down all surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that may damage the finish. Dry thoroughly.
- Hardware Check: Periodically inspect all bolts, screws, and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Retighten as necessary to maintain stability.
- Caster Care: Keep casters free of debris (hair, lint, etc.) that can impede movement. Lubricate caster axles annually with a silicone-based spray if movement becomes stiff.
- General Inspection: Regularly check for any signs of wear, damage, or loose components. Address any issues promptly to ensure safe operation.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cart is wobbly or unstable. | Loose hardware. Uneven floor. | Ensure all bolts and screws are securely tightened. Move the cart to a level surface. |
| Casters do not roll smoothly. | Debris in casters. Caster brake engaged. | Clean any debris from around the caster wheels. Ensure caster brakes are disengaged. |
| Difficulty adjusting cart height. | Adjustment pins/knobs are stuck or overtightened. | Ensure pins are fully disengaged or knobs are sufficiently loosened. Do not force adjustment. |
