Clean after every use: Remove dust, adhesive, and slurry from aluminum rails and suction cups to maintain grip and smooth sliding.
-
Inspect suction cups: Check rubber pads for cracks or wear; clean with mild soap to ensure strong vacuum hold on slabs.
-
Check telescopic rails: Keep retractable guides free of debris so extension (up to 320 cm) stays smooth and aligned.
-
Tighten fasteners regularly: Ensure handles, clamps, and adjustment points remain secure to maintain stability under load.
-
Avoid overloading: Respect the 80 kg max load capacity to prevent deformation and ensure safe handling.
-
Protect aluminum frame: Wipe dry after wet site use to prevent oxidation and preserve anodized finish.
-
Store properly: Retract guides fully and store in a dry, protected area to avoid bending or accidental impact.
