ASSEMBLY
Table / High table
1. Put the tabletop on the ground upside down. Use
the packing material to protect the tabletop's
surface.
2. Secure the base plate (or the optional floor faste-
ning plate, with the hole directed to the centre.
Use the fixing media most suited to the type of
ground on which you intend to install the
Pantagruel table.) to the leg with 2 bolts M8x25.
Repeat this for all the legs.
3. Secure the legs to the tabletop with 4 bolts
M10x30 each.
4. Turn the table and loosen the Lazy Susan by
unscrewing the nut on the bottom of the tabletop
and by removing the stainless steel plate.
5. Remove the Lazy Susan.
6. Assemble the wheels to the axles with 4 bolts
M6 x 20 and flat washers M6. Use a 13 wrench
when tightening the bolts to secure the axle.
Attention: tighten the bolts, but do not fully
tighten them so the wheels can still rotate freely.
7. Put the Lazy Susan and the stainless steel disk in
the tabletop. Optional Lazy Susan anchoring: If
you would like to anchor the Lazy Susan, you can
assemble the stainless steel plate again on the
bottom of the tabletop. Use the extra lock nut
instead of the regular nut. This is a sustainable
solution. Do not tighten the extra lock nut too
much so the lazy susan can still rotate freely.
MAINTENANCE
Wood
Iroko wood and Hellwood requires little or no main-
tenance. However, we strongly advise you to remove
persistent dirt. To clean the wood you can use speci-
al products (www.rmc-extremis.be) or simply a stiff
bristle brush and some water. Be careful not to irre-
parably damage the wood fibres. For this reason,
never use a high pressure cleaner as this will
roughen the wood's smooth surface and irreparably
damage the wood's fibres.
At first, the wood will give off this red dye every time
it comes into contact with water. The dye that drips
onto the frame and the surface will remain water-so-
luble and will dissapear entirely after a while.
We strongly recommend that you treat your wood for
indoor use with wood oil to protect it from stains.
When delivered, the wooden parts of our products
are untreated. Exposure to sun and rain will gradual-
10
ly change their colour to silvery grey, and also
roughen the surface. If you want to somewhat retain
their original colour, you should oil them once a
year. We recommend using RMC Hybrid Wood
Protector (www.rmcextremis.com). RMC products for
wood treatment are available all over the world. Visit
the website www.rmc-extremis.com to find a reseller

Important!
Wood is a living matter and, in spite of the superior
quality provided by Iroko and Hellwood, outdoors
it constantly has to adapt to extreme changes in
temperature and humidity. Due to internal stress
resulting from these constant adaptations the wood
"warps". This warping can among other things
lead to cracking. Changes in colour or wood structu-
re may also appear. These characteristics are typical
of the material and by choosing this material you
accept them.
Should any cracks appear, you can simply sand them
down either by hand using sandpaper or by means of
a hand sander. To protect any galvanised or painted
parts, cover the edges with highly robust masking
tape. Use 80-grit sandpaper and start at the vertical
side of the tabletop. Keep the hand sander parallel to
the edge of the tabletop. Lightly sand the edge until
it is smooth again. Now sand the rest of the tabletop.
Make sure that you always hold the hand sander
parallel to the tabletop. Do not only sand the crack,
but the entire tabletop to obtain a uniform result.
To avoid burrs, sand the top edge of the tabletop by
hand. When you have removed all the burrs, you can
treat the wood with hardwood furniture oil or leave it
untreated, depending on the desired effect.
Galvanised parts
Hot dip galvanisation is the most durable way of
protecting metal against rusting. If the zinc coating
is damaged, the exposed metal can rust. This can
easily be touched up with zinc paint that automati-
cally has the same colour and is readily available in
shops. Galvanisation is a thermal process that can
slightly deform the material. Other metal protection
methods do not have this disadvantage, but the
quality they offer is insufficient.
Powder-coated parts
Clean with lukewarm water and a mild detergent. DO
NOT USE abrasive scouring powders or scourers as
they will scratch the surface.
