General Safety: Always place on a solid, level floor. Do not use on soft or uneven surfaces like thick carpets. Ensure the base is fully assembled and all bolts are tight before applying weight.
Load Safety: Do not exceed the maximum load capacity. Distribute weight evenly across the supported surface. Avoid placing excessive weight on a single arm of the base.
Installation Safety: Use at least two people to lift and position furniture onto the base. Keep children and pets away during assembly and installation. Periodically check tightness of all connections.
Proper use for optimal performance and longevity.
WARNING! Never stand or sit on the base or supported furniture if not designed for such load.
Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals.
CAUTION! Do not spray liquids directly onto the base. Ensure it is completely dry after cleaning. Check rubber feet periodically for wear and replace if damaged.
