Step 8: Reinitialize/Reset the lift system. With the lift in the fully retracted position, hold the down button on the manual back up switch (the grey pad with two triangle buttons) for 3-5 seconds. You should see the lift column make a slight up and down jog motion; this will let you know the lift system has successfully been reset.

Step 10b: Create two Vertical Stabilizer support beams on the inside of the cabinet to attach the bottom half of the Vertical Stabilizers. Using 2x4 wood beams, create a structure to fasten each Vertical Stabilizer to. Step 11: Attach your Lift Box Assembly to the top of the lift Column.

Step 12: Using (6) #8 x ¾” FHWS Fasten the bottom of the Vertical Stabilizers to the drawer glide support beams you created on step 6b. NOTE: Run the lift up and down a few times to test Vertical Stabilizers fitment. Make appropriate adjustments at this stage.

NOTE: Step 13 is designed to give the Lid a “Break-Away” feature, to prevent any finger injury in case someone has their hand in the way while the lift is traveling down. IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure when the lid rests 1/8”-1/4” above your cabinet when the lift is FULLY retracted.

Supplemental Page B: Setting a Height Limit Please follow this procedure if you would like to limit the distance that your TV Lift extends. To set your Travel Limit with IR Controls: If you want the lift system to always go to its full extension, do NOT use the Height Limit Insert. Simply leave it unplugged and the system will always travel to the full extension.
