Using this Fender amplifier stand is a breeze. First, unfold the stand. Then, adjust the height according to your needs, making sure it can support your amplifier which weighs up to 100 lbs. Place your amplifier gently on the stand. When you're done using it, simply fold it up for easy storage and transport. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry place to prevent rust on the steel parts. Check the rubber feet regularly to make sure they're in good condition and can still minimize vibration effectively. Also, avoid overloading the stand beyond its weight limit to ensure its long - term use.
