Koala casters are meant for positioning your Studio inside your home – they are not designed for rolling on sidewalks or driveways, or over door frames. Ensure caster latch is in the unlocked up position when moving your studio. The casters may be locked; latch in the downward position when your studio is in place. When moving your Studio in or out of your home, it should be team- lifted and carried or moved on furniture dollies.

Care & Cleaning

Avoid setting anything hot on the tabletop. Keep your Koala furniture in a climate controlled evirornment. Avoid extreme temperature changes and prolonged direct sunlight.

Lifts

Koala Studios’ innovative lift design enables you to effortlessly position your machine at any level with just the push of a button. The remote control can stop the machine in any position with no effort. The machine platform remains solid and steady while evenly supporting your machine in every position.
Operates with a hand-held remote control or built-in toggle switch. The Koala XL-Lift safely supports the largest, heaviest, top-of-the-line sewing and quilting machines.

Hand-Held Remote or Built-In Toggle Switch

1. Hand-held ergonomically designed remote control. Battery included.

2. To operate the hand-held remote, switch the remote control power button on the front of the control box to the “on” position.

3. The Lift operates with the hand-held remote control or a built-in toggle switch. Each operates with a simple up/down button that raises and lowers the lift and machine.
   Note: When the Power switch is in the “on” position, it is lit in blue. To save energy it is recommended to turn the Power Switch “off” when not operating the Glide Lift.

4. The Glide Lift can stop at any level (shown in stored position with filler board in place).

5. With the filler board removed, your lift can be raised or lowered.

6. This shows the machine positioned level with the Studio top surface with a custom machine insert in place for sewing and quilting. For embroidery and free-arm applications the machine should be positioned at the top level.

7. When filler board is not in use it can be stored underneath your studio.

Machine Insert Installation

Studio Inserts are designed to fit your specific make and model of sewing machine and studio. The Insert fills the gap between the sewing machine and the opening of the studio to create a flat working surface.

1. Remove filler board before raising your machine. Remove all accessory trays surrounding the machine’s free arm.

2. Adjust the studio lift so the needle plate area of the free arm is level with the top of the studio. The insert will not fit if the machine is too high.
   Height is Incorrect if: The insert is raised while resting against the machine. The free arm is higher than the insert. (Lower the lift). Height is Correct if: Insert sits flush and level with the needle and studio.

3. Place insert around the machine and lay in studio. This is the correct fit. Refer to troubleshooting chart for fit issues.

1. Choose the height that best suits your needs. (Base by itself, 1-3/4”, 2-3/4” or 3-3/4”). Screw in your platform supports (clockwise) into the holes on the bottom of the Foot Rest Platform.
