Frequently Asked Questions - Baja Table Tennis Table T8562 STIGA

How long does assembly take and what tools are needed?

Assembly requires at least two adults and typically takes 1-2 hours. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, adjustable wrenches, and a rubber hammer. An electric screwdriver at low torque can be helpful.

The table seems unlevel. How can I fix it?

If the table isn't level, it's likely due to an uneven floor. Move the table a few inches in different directions to find a better spot. If still unlevel, adjust the leg levelers on the outer legs. The table is designed for regulation play on level surfaces.

Can I use chemicals or abrasive cleaners on the playing surface?

No. Only use a soft damp (not wet) cloth to clean the aluminum surface. Chemicals, abrasives, or cleaning products can damage the finish and playing quality.

How do I store the table when not in use?

Fold the table into its vertical position and store it in a dry, protected area. Wind gusts can blow it over or open it unexpectedly, so avoid leaving it unattended outdoors. Ensure all locks are engaged.

The hinges won't lock properly. What should I do?

First, ensure the hinges are positioned correctly (forming a 'V' shape). To lock, push up on the table and push the hinge until it clicks. If they still don't lock, check that the plastic clips are not damaged and that the linkage tubes are properly attached.

What is the warranty period and how do I get replacement parts?

The table comes with a 3-year limited warranty covering defects in material and workmanship. For replacements, contact Escalade Sports at 1-866-873-3528 or email [e-mail]. Keep your proof of purchase and manual for parts identification.

The net is too tight or too loose. How do I adjust it?

Loosen the knob on the net post assembly and move the post to adjust overall tension. For side tension, adjust the bead chain on each side to achieve a firm, regulation-height net (6 inches from the table surface). The vertical post has a height adjustment slot.

Can I use this table outdoors?

The table can be used outdoors but should be stored indoors or under cover when not in use, as aluminum can be affected by temperature and humidity. Avoid leaving it open in windy conditions to prevent damage or injury.

Why do the table tops sag or distort slightly?

Mild sagging or distortion is normal for aluminum tables due to temperature and humidity changes. This does not affect playability. If the distortion is severe, check that all bolts are properly tightened and that the table is on a level surface.

Are additional parts available if I lose some during assembly?

Yes. Contact Escalade Sports customer service with your model number (T8562) and the part key number from the replacement parts list in the manual. You can order missing or broken parts online or by phone.
