Using T-bolts and T-nuts
The Bosch Adjustable Height Workstation Kit uses
profiles connected using the T-slot principle (Figure
5). Insert the T-bolt into slot (A), and tighten down the
nut. As it tightens, it will turn the T-bolt 90° in the slot
(B), creating a friction lock (C). The same principle
applies to T-nuts. The maximum allowable torque is
25 Nm (18.5 lb-ft).
ASSEMBLY HINT: T-bolts have a mark on the end
of the threaded shaft that is in line with the T-bolt
head. The T-bolt is correctly positioned when this
mark is perpendicular to the T-slot.

Joining Profiles
Locate 2–45x45 gussets. Use a flat tip screwdriver to
remove the alignment tabs from one side of a gusset
as shown in Figure 6. Be sure to remove the
alignment tabs from only one side of the gusset.
Locate 4–T-bolts and 4–M8 flange nuts. Then start a
flange nut onto each T-bolt just 1 or 2 turns.
Place a gusset onto the 45x60 profile with the
remaining centering tabs positioned into the profile
slot.
Slip a prepared T-bolt/flange nut combination through
the slot in the gusset and slide the gusset against the
adjoining 45x90 profile. Do not tighten the flange nut
yet.
Slip a T-bolt/flange nut combination through the
remaining slot in the gusset and tighten it. Then
tighten the remaining flange nut.
Mount the remaining gusset at the other end of the of
the 45x90 profile with T-bolt/flange nut combinations
not shown.
