6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the stand with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and mild detergent, then dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

• Lubrication: If any joints become stiff over time, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the pivot points.

7. Troubleshooting

• Stand is difficult to adjust: Ensure all locking knobs are sufficiently loosened before attempting to reposition the arm. If resistance persists, check for any debris in the joints.
• Microscope is unstable in the bracket: Verify that the microscope is correctly seated in the mounting ring and that all set screws are tightened firmly. Ensure the microscope's weight is within the stand's capacity.
• C-clamp does not hold securely: Confirm that the desktop thickness is within the clamp's maximum capacity (3.8 inches). Ensure the clamp screw is fully tightened and the desktop surface is clean and dry.
