6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your desk converter.

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
• Fastener Checks: Periodically inspect all screws and bolts, especially those securing the keyboard tray and the main frame. Tighten any loose fasteners to maintain stability.
• Mechanism Check: Ensure the lifting mechanism operates smoothly. If you notice any stiffness or unusual noises, contact support. Do not attempt to lubricate or disassemble the gas spring mechanism yourself.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your desk converter, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Desk Converter is Unstable or Wobbles:
  • Ensure the desk converter is placed on a completely flat and stable surface.
  • Verify that all assembly screws, particularly those for the keyboard tray and the base, are securely tightened.
  • Check that the weight on the desktop and keyboard tray does not exceed the specified capacity (33 lbs desktop, 6.6 lbs keyboard tray) and is evenly distributed.
  • A slight wobble may be noticeable at maximum height; this is normal for some adjustable risers.
• Difficulty Adjusting Height:
  • Ensure the adjustment lever is fully engaged when attempting to raise or lower the desk.
  • Check for any obstructions preventing the mechanism from moving freely.
  • Verify that the weight on the desktop is within the specified limits. Excessive weight can make adjustment difficult.
• Keyboard Tray Screws Do Not Fit or Come Loose:
  • Ensure you are using the correct screws for the keyboard tray attachment. Refer to the assembly instructions.
  • If screws consistently come loose, consider using slightly larger or coarser threaded screws of appropriate length, or apply a thread-locking compound (e.g., Loctite) if suitable for the material.
• Desktop Appears Slanted:
  • Check the underlying desk surface for levelness.
  • Inspect the desk converter's frame for any visible damage or bending. If damage is present, discontinue use and contact support.
