Safety information
Along with the ability to define your own space comes the responsibil-
ity to set up safe configurations. Because of the almost limitless
options of the Roomscapes system, common sense is always needed
to ensure that your setup is safe. Here are some essential guidelines to
follow when connecting your Roomscapes items. Please follow them,
as well as any warnings or cautions for specific items throughout this
guide.
Mobility
Before connecting your Roomscapes shelves together, it is important
to understand the mobility feature.
1. With one person at each end of the unit,
tip the unit 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 pulling or pushing on one of the
handholds at each end of the toe trim.
3. Tip the unit slightly 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.
c
After disengaging the wheels, give the item a small push on its end
to settle the wheels into place. The item will sit down securely on
its glides.
WARNING
c
102 cm and 122 cm high items may tip when rolled sideways.
Always push from an end. Never move with children nearby.
Always disengage wheels after moving.
Connection
The octagonal post comes in 5 different lengths.
This post is designed to attach to plastic
couplings which are fastened to the sides or
ends of most Roomscapes items.
The yellow childproof lock ring on the
bottom of every post prevents children from
taking setups apart. It locks automatically
when bottom of the post is on the floor.
Release by rotating it.

Post
WARNING
c
When using a Roomscapes post to connect two items always make
sure that the childproof ring is locked.
To connect a panel to another panel or shelf:
1. Line up a groove in the post onto the
couplings on the shelf (or panel which is
already in position).
Slide the post all the way down so that it
locks onto the couplings (listen for the click
of the childproof ring locking). Inspect to
make sure that both the top and bottom
couplings are engaged.
2. Line up the couplings on the next panel
into a groove in the post. Choose whichever
angle you desire, but remember to follow the
safety guidelines on page 2.
3. Slide the panel down until it locks onto the post. Inspect to make
sure that both the top and bottom couplings are engaged. Pull up
on post to check that the childproof ring has locked.
To connect a shelf to another shelf:
1. Flip the toe trim down (so the wheels are
out of the way).
2. Roughly line up the shelves in the desired
position (straight, 45°, or 90°) leaving space
for the post.
3. Slide a post down onto the couplings.
Make sure you catch the couplings of both
units at the top and bottom. (You may need
to shift the units slightly to get the post on
properly.)
Check that all the couplings are secure in the
posts. Pull up on the posts to check that the
childproof ring has locked.
CAUTION
c
Do not lift or tip the shelves. This may partially engage the wheels.
To change your Roomscapes setup:
Disconnect items by turning the childproof lock ring and pulling the
post up until it disconnects from the couplings.
Roomscapes shelves
Clear, Mirror, and Chalkboard covers are available for the backs of
most shelves with display board backs.
Fixed shelves
Shelf backs are a display board material covered with hook and loop
fastener fabric, or translucent to create a barrier while letting the light
through.
Open back shelves
Objects can be easily accessed from either side of the shelf, and
caregivers can see what’s happening on the other side.
