Troubleshooting
Base is not level after adjustment
Ensure all adjustable feet are making firm contact with the solid ground. Re-check the spirit level and adjust each foot incrementally. Verify the ground itself is stable.
Difficulty adjusting steel feet
Ensure threads are clean and free of debris. Apply a penetrating lubricant if necessary, allow to sit, then attempt adjustment again.
Structure feels unstable
Confirm all support points are engaged and adjusted correctly. Check that the total weight of the structure does not exceed the rated capacity of the support points. Ensure all fixings are secure.
