Operating Instructions
Adjusting Height
The three tiers of the drying rack are height adjustable. To adjust a tier, loosen the corresponding adjustment knobs on the vertical poles, slide the tier to the desired height, and then tighten the knobs securely. This allows for drying items of various lengths.

Folding and Storage
The drying rack features a foldable design for compact storage. To fold, remove any clothes, then collapse the tiers inward. The side wings can also be folded down. This reduces the rack's footprint, making it suitable for small spaces or when not in use.

Moving the Rack
The rack is equipped with 6 universal casters for easy movement. Two of these casters have brakes. To move the rack, ensure the brakes are disengaged. To keep the rack stationary, engage the brakes on the two designated casters.

Utilizing Hanging Space
The rack offers ample hanging capacity with its three tiers and two rotatable side wings. The wave clips on the side wings are designed for hanging smaller items like socks or towels. The main tiers are suitable for larger garments, blankets, and linens.

- Drying: Ensure the rack is completely dry before folding and storing to prevent mildew or rust, especially if used outdoors.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
- Storage: Store the folded rack in a dry, cool place when not in use.
