How do I relocate my Mamava pod?

Mamava pods are designed to be freestanding structures that can be relocated. The leveling feet are raised or lowered to enable movement of the fixed caster wheels and provide stability when in its final location.

Below you will find directions to adjust the leveling feet on XL, Original, and Solo 2.0 pods to engage the caster wheels (add-on for Solo pods) to move a pod. If you need to relocate your pod to another floor or to a distant location, we recommend that you completely disassemble the pod before you move it.  Follow these disassembly instructions:

XL and Original Pods

Required Tools

• 5.5 mm hex key (or 7/32” equivalent)
• 9/16" socket wrench 

1. Access the leveling feet. 

1. Enter the pod using the Mamava app or 8008 code on the keypad.
2. Remove the adhesive covers on the beauty panels, located below the benches, and stick them next to the rotolock holes.
   
3. Use a hex key to unlock the two rotolocks on each beauty panel. Turn the left rotolock clockwise and the right lock counterclockwise.
4. Remove each of the beauty panels by pulling the top of the panel out first to allow the bottom flange to disengage from the chassis. 
   
5. With the beauty panels removed, you’ll find red bolts in the chassis that are the top of the leveling feet. There are four leveling feet under each bench, two in the channel closest to you, and two right behind them that are obstructed from view by the bench frame.
    

2. Raise the leveling feet to enable the casters.

1. Use a socket wrench to loosen each of the eight bolts (counterclockwise) until they turn easily by hand to raise the leveling feet.
2. Continue to raise the leveling feet by hand at least another inch to ensure they don’t touch the floor. 

3. Relocate the pod.

1. Unplug the power cord from the wall.
2. Prescan the path of travel to make sure there are no obstructions that can get in the way of moving the pod.
3. With one person on either end of the pod, push using the aluminum corners of the pod for grabbing points. Do not push directly on the curved panel as they can crack easily when pressure is applied.    

4. Ensure the pod is properly leveled in its new location.

1. Ensure that there are no gaps in the header above the door.
2. Ensure that there are no gaps on the back edge of the bench.
3. Ensure that the shelf is level.

5. Lower the leveling feet.

1. Begin by turning the bolts on the inside channel on both sides of the pod, clockwise by hand until they touch the floor. You’ll know you’ve hit the floor when you can’t turn them anymore. Lower the leveling feet will raise that portion of the chassis.
2. Tighten each bolt two full turns with a socket wrench.  
3. Turn the remaining bolts in the outside channel clockwise by hand until they touch the floor.
4. Turn each of the remaining four bolts two full turns with a socket wrench.

6. Check pod function.

1. Check the door to make sure it’s not rubbing against the door jam. If it is, readjust the leveling feet as needed. 
2. Lock the deadbolt. There should be no resistance while locking. If there is, readjust the leveling feet as needed. 
3. Make sure the gap at the top of the door is parallel. If not, readjust the leveling feet as needed.

7. Reassemble the pod. 

1. Hook the bottom flange of each beauty panel onto the chassis, then slide the top flange between the chassis and the bench. You may need to bend the bottom flange down prior to installing. It should be square to the panel to catch the chassis correctly. 
2. Lock the four rotolocks with the hex key. 
3. Cover the holes with the adhesive covers. 
4. Plug the pod back into a wall outlet.

8. Tell the Mamava team the pod’s new location!

1. Once you’ve moved your Mamava pod to its new location, please email customerexpereince@mamava.com or call us at (802) 347-2111 ext 2. with the following information:
   
   1. Pod address (if different)
   2. Description of pod location (i.e. floor number, what the pod is near, etc.)
   3. A photo of the pod in its new surroundings

Solo V2 Pods

Required Tools

• Adjustable wrench  

1. Raise the leveling feet to enable the casters. 

1. Lie down on the ground and look beneath the base of the pod to locate the leveling feet in each corner. 
2. Use an adjustable wrench to loosen the bolt counterclockwise for each of the four leveling feet.
   
3. Use the adjustable wrench to turn each leveling foot until it’s off the ground. If your pod has caster wheels installed, be sure that the leveling foot is raised high enough that the caster wheel engages the floor.
4. Repeat for all four leveling feet. 
5. The pod should now be resting on the four white plastic feet caps (or the four caster wheels if your pod has them installed).

2. Relocate the pod. 

1. Unplug the power cord from the wall.
2. Prescan the path of travel to make sure there are no obstructions that can get in the way of moving the pod. Please note, pods without caster wheels can only move short distances. Pods with caster wheels installed can move further distances.
3. With one person on either end of the pod, push using the aluminum corners of the pod for grabbing points. Do not push directly on the wall panel.  

3. Lower the leveling feet. 

1. Lie down on the floor with your adjustable wrench in hand. 
2. Use the adjustable wrench to turn each leveling foot until they touch the floor. You’ll know you’ve hit the floor when you can’t turn them anymore. Lowering the leveling feet will raise that portion of the pod. 
3. Use the adjustable wrench to tighten the bolt on each leveling foot.

4. Check pod function.

1. Plug the pod back into a wall outlet. 
2. Check the door to see if it rubs  against the door jam. If it does, readjust the leveling feet as needed. 
3. Lock the deadbolt. There should be no resistance while locking. If there is, readjust the leveling feet as needed. 

5. Tell the Mamava team the pod’s new location!
