Maintenance Tips

• Clean after every use: Remove dust, adhesive, and slab residue from aluminum profiles, crossbars, and suction cups to maintain full grip and smooth adjustment.
• Inspect suction cups: Ensure all vacuum pads are clean, undamaged, and firmly sealing—replace worn pads to maintain safe lifting capacity (up to 170 kg max).
• Check frame alignment: Regularly verify telescopic rails and perpendicular crossbars stay straight and properly locked to preserve structural rigidity.
• Tighten EASY FIX system: Recheck sliders, clamps, and fasteners before heavy use to prevent movement under load.
• Avoid overloading: Never exceed the rated load; adding extra suction cups does not increase capacity and can create unsafe handling conditions.
• Protect aluminum frame: Wipe dry after wet-site work to prevent oxidation and maintain smooth adjustment.
• Store properly: Collapse fully and store in the transport bag in a dry area to avoid bending or impact damage.
