fully Jarvis Manual

Before starting

Take all of the items out on a padded or carpeted area to confirm that nothing is missing.

Tools

Assembly

1. Insert the Left Lifting Column into the Frame End as shown below.
   To secure the Frame End to the Left Lifting Column, thread four (4) of the Medium Machine Screws into the holes as shown, but do not tighten them all the way.
   Once all four screws are in place, tighten completely.
   
   
2. Select the Left Side Bracket. The two tabs on the side bracket will slot into the Step 1 Assembly.
   Use two (2) of the Small Machine Screws to secure the Left Side Bracket. As before, don't tighten all the way until both screws are in place.
   
   
3. Repeat Steps 1–2 for the Right Lifting Column, Frame End, and Side Bracket.
4. Lay your desk top on your padded workspace with the underside facing up, and the front of the desk top towards you.
   Place the right leg assembly (with "R" labels) on the desk top to your left, with the frame end pointing towards you. (Once you flip your desk over, this will become the right side, and the world will make sense again.)
   
   • If your Jarvis Desk Top's pre-drilled holes have metal inserts, you will need to use the Machine Screws packaged with the Jarvis Desk Top to secure the frame.
   • Otherwise use five (5) Wood Screws to attach the leg assembly to the desk top.

Insert all five screws part way. Once they are in place, tighten them all completely.

5. Slide the Center Rails into the frame end attached to the desk top, so that the midpoint mark is facing up, and the cut-out slots are facing inwards.
   Slide the Left Leg Assembly (with "L" labels) onto the other end of the Center Rails (your right-hand side), and the entire frame should now fit onto the desk top.
   
   
6. Secure the left leg assembly with the remaining screws. Insert all five screws part way. Once they are in place, tighten them all completely.
   
   • If your Jarvis Desk Top's pre-drilled holes have metal inserts, you will need to use the Machine Screws packaged with the Jarvis Desk Top to secure the frame.
     Otherwise use five (5) Wood Screws to attach the leg assembly to the desk top. Insert all five screws part way.
     
     
7. Center the labeled midpoints on both Center Rails between the two Frame Ends, and use eight (8) of the Medium Set Screws to lock the Center Rails down firmly.
   
   
   
   Skipping this step will result in stability issues.
8. Assemble the driveshaft by sliding the two Driving Rod Sleeves over each end of the Driving Rod.
   The sleeves have Set Screws pre-installed on both ends. Do not tighten the Set Screws until Step 9. Make sure these Set Screws are lined up with each other and are loose enough (as shown) to allow the Driving Rod to slide into the sleeve completely. If the rod will not go past a setscrew, loosen the setscrew a little with the 3mm hex key.
   
   
   
   
9. Place the assembled driveshaft between the two rod ends extending from the Lifting Columns.
   Slide the sleeves onto these rod ends completely, and make sure all Set Screws are facing up and in line with each other as shown below.
   Once the driveshaft is installed on both sides, tighten all four Set Screws to lock them in place.
   
   If the driveshaft does not easily line up with both rod ends you can use the included wrench to rotate one of the rod ends into alignment as displayed in the second image below.
   
   
   Do not over tighten the Set Screws. Stop once they make contact with the rods and no longer turn easily.
10. Decide whether the Hand Crank will be on the left or right side of the desk.
    Right Side Hand Crank
    Insert the long Crank Rod (160mm) into the crank socket on the Right Lifting Column and be sure the raised notches go inside the leg.
    
    or
    Left side hand crank
    Insert the short Crank Rod (125mm) into the crank socket on the Left Lifting Column and be sure the raised notches go inside the leg.
    
    Using the two (2) Wood Screws, attach the Adapter Plate making sure that the "R" or "L" label matches your chosen orientation. If you have a Jarvis Desk Top, use the widely-spaced pre-drilled holes for this purpose.
    
11. Slide a Crank Washer, then the Crank Spring itself, then the second washer onto the crank rod, as shown.
    
    
12. Orient the Crank Sleeve so that its Set Screw is closest to the leg and pointing up, and slide it onto the Crank Rod.
    Slide the Hand Crank all the way into the Crank Sleeve, making sure that the pin on the hand Crank Rod lines up with the notch in the Crank Sleeve as shown, and fit the plastic arch-shaped crank bushing onto the Crank Sleeve.
    
    
    
    The Hand Crank cannot be attached directly to the desk top!
13. Attach the plastic crank bushing to the Adapter Plate using the two (2) Small Socket Headscrews.
    
14. Loosely attach the Feet to the bottom of the lifting columns with four (4) Medium Machine Screws per foot. Once all the screws are in place, tighten them down the rest of the way in an X pattern.
    
    
15. Double check that all screws everywhere on the desk are tight.
16. With a friend, lift the desk and carefully flip it onto its feet, being careful not to put weight on the hand crank. Then adjust the pre-installed leveling glides on the feet as needed.
    Collapsible Handle
    Slide and rotate the Hand Crank under the desk for convenient crank storage. Please be careful not to pinch your hand when flipping the handle.
    

Using your own desk top

Top size limits:
Minimum: 48" x 30"
Maximum: 70" x 30"
Please use the following guidelines to properly fit your frame to your desk top, and ensure proper clearance for the crank mechanism.

Side-to-Side Position:
In our experience, desks have the best side-to-side stability when their legs are installed as far apart as possible. On our own Crank desk tops, we leave a one-inch overhang on each side. To achieve this, we install the Side Bracket screws two inches from the side edge of the desk top.
Placing the holes at least 2" in from the sides lowers the chance that your desk top will split during drilling, though this may vary depending on the material you have chosen to use.
Depending on the structural integrity of your desk top you can leave more than 1" overhanging the Side Brackets, but an overhang of 4" is not recommended on either side.

Front-to-back position:
The front hole on the side bracket needs to be 7.25" back from the front of your desk top to fit the length of the crank handle & mechanism.
We recommend a maximum top depth of 30". To avoid interfering with the crank mechanism at the front, a deeper top would add additional overhang at the back of the desk. This would compromise the desk's center of gravity, particularly with the addition of weight from computer monitors, etc.

Laying it out

The easiest way to position your own desktop on Jarvis is to partially assemble the frame and use it as a template. This partial assembly is easier to maneuver than the entire frame and will allow you to see exactly how things line up and where all the holes should be.
Lay your desktop on a padded workspace with the underside facing up and the front of the desk top towards you. Without the Lifting Columns, attach the Side Brackets to the Frame Ends as shown in Steps 2 and 3.
Slide the Center Rails into the Frame Ends. Position the frame assembly on the underside of your desk top, with the screw holes in the Side Brackets 2-5" from the edges of the top (leaving 1-4" of overhang). The front Side Bracket screw hole should be 7.25" from the front (user-facing) edge of the desk top.
The example below shows a 30" x 56" desktop with the frame assembly correctly positioned:

We now know where all the frame screws need to be placed. Indent the center point of each hole with the tip of a Phillips-head screwdriver — this is more accurate and permanent than using a marker or pencil.
Next, position the adapter plate 1" back from the front of the desk top, and X.3" from the side of the top, where X is the inches of top overhang. e.g.
1" of overhang: plate should be 1.3" from the side of the desk top
2" of overhang: plate should be 2.3" from the side of the desk top
3" of overhang: plate should be 3.3" from the side of the desk top
4" of overhang: plate should be 4.3" from the side of the desk top

Refer to Step 10 for proper adapter plate orientation. The illustration below shows a right-hand crank assembly, with 1" of top overhang.
Indent the center point of each hole with the tip of a Phillips-head screwdriver, as before. Disassemble the frame components and return to the standard assembly instructions.

Make sure the desk top is not in contact with any obstacles or walls.
Make sure all cords are an appropriate length to accommodate the full range of height adjustment.
Do not sit or stand on the desk frame. Do not crawl or lie under the desk frame.
Do not place any objects taller than 25" underneath the desk.
Be careful to not pinch your hand when using the handle.
The desk height is adjustable so that it can be positioned at the most ergonomically suitable height. Any other operation is at the user's own risk.
Under no circumstances does the manufacturer accept warranty claims or liability claims for damages caused from improper use or handling of the desk frame.
Please read this manual carefully. If this desk is resold, please provide this manual to the new owner.
