SAFETY AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
You must read the user manual carefully before installing or operating the eFloat table
Caution
The two legs and smart controller can handle a maximum load of 220 lbs including the weight of the top frame (12 lbs) and
work surface (varies).
Do not open the table legs or control components under any circumstances. There is danger of electric shock.
The eFloat table is not designed for continuous operation. Changing the desktop position without interruption for a period longer than
two minutes will result in the Controller pausing operation for eighteen minutes to prevent overheating.
eFloat may only be operated with a mains electricity supply of 120V/60Hz.
Only use the power cord supplied with the table. Check that it is not damaged. Do not operate the table if the power cord is damaged.
Before connecting and disconnecting handswitches, you must unplug the power cord.
Do not lift the legs by their motor cable as this may damage them.
A 44 lb. minimum load is required for collision sensor to function.
Danger
In the event of a malfunction (e.g. if the Controller keeps adjusting the desk because a movement key has jammed), please unplug the
unit immediately.
Do not expose the Controller to moisture, drips or splashes.
When changing the desktop position, there is a risk of pinching in spite of the built-in safety sensors. Ensure that no people or objects
are located in a hazardous area while the desk is adjusting.
Do not use eFloat in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
This device is not intended for use by individuals (including children) with limited physical, sensory or mental abilities or with a lack of
experience and/or lack of expertise, unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety or have received instructions
from that person on how to use the Controller.
In the event of a fault, please contact Customer Service immediately. Only original spare parts may be used for repairing the
Controllers. Parts may only be replaced by qualified service technicians. Otherwise, the warranty/guarantee shall be null and void.
Do not exchange the components of one table with those from another.
