Mobility
Before connecting your Roomscapes shelves
together, it is important to understand how to
operate the
mobility feature
which can be easily
engaged and disengaged using the following
procedure:
1. With one person at each end of the unit, tip
slightly forward or back. This allows the toe trim to
pivot.
2. One person keeps the item tipped, while the other
rotates the toe trim to the desired position by pull-
ing or pushing on one of the handholds at each
end of the toe trim. (Fig. E)
3. Tip the unit slightly to the other side and repeat
the procedure with the other toe trim.
Note:
To prevent objects from falling off shelves, tip
unit back and engage the front wheels first. When
disengaging wheels, tip unit forward, and release
rear wheels first.
CAUTION
c
Never change the position of the toe trim with
less than two people.
c
Always use the handholds provided at each end
of the toe trim. (Fig. E)
c
After disengaging the wheels, give item a small
sideways push to settle the wheels into place.
You will notice the item sitting down securely on
its glides.
WARNING
c
Items taller than 20" may tip when rolled
sideways, particularly when rolling on carpet.
Always push from an end. Never move with chil-
dren nearby or with a top-heavy load. Always
disengage wheels after moving.
Connection
The connection feature
is what sets the Rooms-
capes system apart from
any other furniture line.
It is important to fully
understand how it works
in order to get the most
out of your Roomscapes
items.
The heart of the system
is an octagonal Post which comes in 8" length incre-
ments, from 16" to 56".
This Post is designed to attach to plastic couplings
which are fastened to the sides or ends of most
Roomscapes items. (Fig. F)
The
childproof lock ring
on the bottom of every
Post prevents children from taking setups apart. It
locks automatically when the bottom of the Post is
on the floor. Release it by turning it as far as it goes,
while lifting the Post.
WARNING
c
When using a Roomscapes Post to connect two
items always make sure that the childproof ring
is locked.
c
56" Post to be used only in Roomscapes sets
configured by Community Playthings
To connect shelves in a straight line, use two Posts and
a Filler between the shelves (Fig. G). Shelves do not
have to be the same height for the filler to work.
