CARE AND MAINTENANCE
You have purchased a quality product that will give you years of enjoyment. By following these simple
maintenance steps you will add to the life of your new table. The top (playing surface) of your table is of aluminum
construction. It can be affected by atmospheric conditions, meaning both temperature and humidity. This may
cause a slight sag or distortion as top expands or contracts. This is normal and should not cause concern as
it does not detract from the play or utility value of the table.
STORAGE OF YOUR TABLE
Wind gusts can blow over or unexpectedly open the table; Store in protected area. When your table is not in
use, it should be folded up in a dry area.
CLEANING YOUR TABLE
To clean your table use a soft damp NOT WET cloth only. To prevent damage to your table's playing surface
DO NOT use any chemicals, abrasive, or cleaning products on your table's playing surface.
IMPORTANT: Periodically, lubricate all moving parts, including pivot points, to assure smooth opening and
closing. A light lubricant such as WD-40 is recommended.

workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the date of purchase.
Should this product become defective due to material or workmanship within the warranty period, contact
our Customer Service Department for repair or replacement at our option.
This warranty is not transferable and does not cover normal wear and tear, bowing of the table or damage

CAUTION
THIS IS A GAME TABLE. DO NOT SIT, STAND, LEAN, WALK OR JUMP ON TABLE! FAILURE TO
COMPLY WITH THIS CAUTION COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE!
UNLEVEL FLOORS
If table does not seem level, it is probably because floor is not level. Move table several inches (set
table in playing position) in different directions to find the best location for the table. If the floor is
extremely unlevel, table may not play or operate properly. If table is high in the center, shim up under
the outer legs.
