Operating Instructions
Adjusting Height:
- Identify the height adjustment screws on the main vertical support frame.
- Loosen the screws that secure the upper section of the podium to the desired height setting (43", 45.5", or 48").
- Carefully slide the upper section to align with the pre-drilled holes for your chosen height.
- Securely tighten the screws to lock the podium at the new height. Ensure all screws are fully tightened before placing items on the podium.
Using the Casters:
- Mobility: To move the podium, ensure both lockable casters are in the unlocked position. The 360° universal casters allow for easy movement in any direction.
- Stability: To secure the podium in place, push down the locking levers on the two lockable casters until they click into position. This will prevent the podium from rolling.
- Unlocking: To unlock the casters, lift the locking levers until they release.

Utilizing the Tilted Tabletop and Storage Shelf:
- The tabletop is fixed at an 11° tilt for optimal viewing. Use the integrated edge stopper to prevent items from sliding off the tilted surface.
- The additional storage shelf provides convenient access to presentation materials, personal items, or beverages. Ensure items placed on the shelf do not exceed the 45 lbs weight capacity.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and appearance of your Tangkula Rolling Podium Stand.
- Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the finish. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by drying with a clean cloth.
- Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain structural integrity and stability.
- Caster Care: Keep the casters free of debris (hair, dust, etc.) that could impede their movement. If casters become stiff, a small amount of silicone spray can be applied to the axle.
- Weight Limits: Do not exceed the stated weight capacities for the tabletop (45 lbs) and storage shelf (45 lbs) to prevent damage or instability.
- Storage: Store the podium in a dry environment, away from extreme temperatures or direct sunlight, which could affect the material integrity.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Tangkula Rolling Podium Stand, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Podium feels wobbly or unstable. | Loose screws or uneven floor. | Check and tighten all assembly screws. Ensure the podium is on a flat, level surface. If casters are locked, ensure they are fully engaged. |
| Casters are difficult to roll or lock. | Debris in casters or mechanism. | Clean any hair, dust, or debris from the caster wheels and axles. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant if necessary. Ensure locking levers are fully engaged/disengaged. |
| Height adjustment is stiff or difficult. | Screws are too tight or misalignment. | Ensure the adjustment screws are sufficiently loosened before attempting to change height. Check for any obstructions or misalignment in the vertical tracks. |
