® Let's Get Started! Assembling a monitor-keyboard worksurface with a bi-level mechanism? Jump to Appendix “B” now. Prepare a large open space to assemble the table. • Sweep the floor! Screws and small parts can damage the worksurface. • Put down a CLEAN shipping blanket to protect the worksurface.

® Overhangs and Custom Leg Positions: Determine Leg Positions on your Table: • There are pilot holes in worksurfaces that result in the standard • Many Series 3 tables allow multiple leg postions, providing flexibility to overhangs (1-1/4" and 15"), as well as a clearance at the back to maximize leg space, and allow overhangs for CPU slings and mobile avoid pinch-points and provide for cable drop.
Mounting Legs to Worksurfaces ® Raise leg all the way up. This will allow access to the screws adjacent to the inner column. NOTCH IS ALWAYS AT BACK OF LEG (BACK OF TABLE) FOR EASIER ACCESS FOR EASIER ACCESS = PILOT HOLE = NO PILOT HOLE PROVIDED Align each leg with the pilot holes in the desired Mounting Plate...
® Determine Crank Position on your Table: • Most tables allow the front crank to be located on either the user's right-hand or left-hand side. LH TABLE • Some 90 & 120 tables do not have enough space on the WITH CRANK short side to allow the crank to function, so these tables are ON RIGHT...
Corner Tables and P-Tables ® corner tables are available either as right-hand or left-hand tables. In order to go from right-hand to left-hand configurations, four (4) items must be changed: 1) Orientation of center leg 2) Placement of stretchers 3) Configuration of drive gearbox (See page 7) 4) Configuration of intermediate gearbox (See page 9) The gearboxes ship from the factory set up for right-hand tables with the crank on the right-hand side of the table.
Left-Hand Tables with Crank on Left Side ® INTERMEDIATE GEARBOX SHORT SIDE ON RIGHT LONG SIDE ON LEFT NOTE: Crank can still be placed on either right-hand or left-hand side, regardless of whether it is a left-hand or right-hand table. "B"...
® Installing the Drive Gearbox Attach gearbox assembly to leg mounting plate with provided For 90 Tables and P-Tables hardware. DO NOT tighten yet. Assemble loose (allow to hang). Attach the intermediate gearbox near the center leg using the hardware provided. NOTE: To switch crank handle (Equal-Sized or position from right-hand to...
Installing the Front Crank ® Insert the crank driveshaft through the back of the gearbox into the crank handle. CRANK DRIVESHAFT For front-crank tables, mount crank handle to worksurface near the gearbox using the provided pilot holes. SET SCREW 1-3/4" PUSH IN ALL THE WAY Tighten set screw lightly, to avoid...
® Driveshafts and Leg Synchronization • Series 3 tables are purely mechanical, and the legs must be synchronized mechanically. • Before inserting the driveshafts, ensure ALL LEGS are pushed ALL THE WAY DOWN (fully compressed). (Equal-Sized or Right-Hand Table Shown This View) Installing Driveshaft Stabilizers •...
Installing Driveshafts ® If the hexagon openings are not perfectly aligned, grip the driveshaft with an adjustable wrench and rotate slightly, until the driveshaft slides through with ease. NOTE: DO NOT pound the driveshafts through with a hammer. This will mushroom the end of the driveshaft. Place cap nut on a flat, hard surface and push driveshaft into it.
Page 14
Installing Driveshafts (cont.) ® 2-Leg Tables: 2-Leg Tables & 120 Tables Driveshafts are retained using cap nuts, which grip the driveshaft ends and prevent them from backing out of the legs. 2-leg tables, 120 tables & bubble-jetty tables require one cap nut mounted outside of each leg.
Page 15
® Installing Driveshafts (cont.) Steps 4, 5, & 6 (below) are for 90 Tables and P-Tables only. With all table legs pushed all the way down, insert driveshafts through gearboxes and legs. Using a adjustable wrench or pliers to assist, push the push nut all the way down the length of the driveshaft until it meets the inside of the lifting column.
® Installing Driveshafts (cont.) Ensure all driveshafts are inserted into driveshaft Where applicable, attach driveshaft stabilizer brackets tubes. Tighten set screws very tightly with with two (2) screws each, using provided pilot holes. a 3mm hex wrench. Tighten the gearbox attachment bolt.

Installing Stretchers ® NOTE: On 3-leg tables, be sure to use the correct length of stretcher for the particular side of the worksurface. Use longer components on the long side and shorter components on the short side, where applicable. Sub-assemble stretchers as shown. For 90 stretcher, place the decorative cover over the small tube first, then insert into large tube.
Page 18
Installing Stretchers (cont.) ® For 120 o and bubble-jetty tables, mount the center leg bracket Gently tighten all set screws between stretcher tubes. as shown such that the set screws face the floor. Add decorative cover after tightening the two (2) M6 nuts. SET SCREWS TO FACE THE FLOOR.
Finishing the Table Assembly ® STRETCHER CAPS Ensure all decorative trim caps are securely attached. Double-check that all nuts, bolts, screws, cap nuts and set screws are securely attached. Test the function of each completed table. Cycle the table all the way up and down to test for correct function. ASSEMBLY DIRECTION AND USER GUIDE CAP NUT...

Optional Biscuits SPLINE Install draw bolts and tighten with 5/16" or 7/16" open end wrench. Attach two (2) v-channels using sixteen (16) screws per channel.
Appendix A: 2-Piece Worksurface Assembly (cont.) ® Special Notes on 2-Piece Worksurfaces Overhangs: • The extension portion of 2-piece worksurfaces may not completely overhang the supporting leg! • One leg must always be fully mounted to the extension portion. CORRECT! CORRECT! WRONG! THIS CONDITION...
