ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

USAGE INSTRUCTIONS

• Unfolding the Table:
  When unfolding the table, the first step is to lock the casters. Then, take caution so that all areas around you are clear. Please remember, the table is very heavy. If you are worried that it may be too heavy, it is recommended that at least two people unfold the table. To unfold the table, push on the lock to release the table from the storage position. After unlocking the table, slowly lower the table half down. Do the same for the other half. Check to make sure that the locking hinge bar attached to each leg of the table is straight (locked). Then install the net and post set, and enjoy the table tennis table.
• Folding the Table:
  To fold the table into storage position, the first step is to lock the casters. Next, ensure that the net and post set have been removed from the table. Failure to do so could cause damage to the table when trying to fold the table with the net and post set still attached. Then, unlock (by bending) the locking hinge bar to enable the H-bar to be stored against the bottom of the table surface. Please remember that the table is very heavy. Ensure that you have enough ceiling height to raise the table half. If you are worried that the table will be too heavy for you to lift, it is recommended that at least two people fold the table. Raise the table half to the vertical position until you hear a loud clicking noise and make sure that the lock is fully engaged.
• Playback Position:
  Playback position is achieved by unfolding one half of the table and folding the other half. Make sure that the locks of the folded half are fully engaged. Always use the locking casters and place them in lock position when the table is in playback position for added safety.
• Leveling:
  The table comes with leveling feet. Spin the leveling feet to adjust the height and make the table level.

Using the locking casters

When the table is in storage position, or in play position, please remember to always lock the casters for added safety.

Setup Guide

To set up the Joola Nova Plus, start by unpacking all components carefully. 

1. The table comes partially pre-assembled, so the main task is to attach the legs and wheels. 
2. Use the provided hardware to secure the legs to the table frame, ensuring all bolts are tightened evenly. 
3. Next, attach the net system according to the manufacturer's instructions. 
4. Finally, ensure all locking wheels are securely in place and the table is level before use. This process typically takes about 30-45 minutes for two people.
