ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
1. Lay out all components and hardware to ensure that you have everything listed on Page 4 and 5.
2. The desk weighs over 100 lbs. Two people are needed to turn or move desk and some components.
When turning or moving assembled desk, grab it by SUPPORT BRACKETS (not desk top).
3. Assemble on soft and non-abrasive surface to avoid scratch or damage to the top.
STEP 1
Use Phillips screwdriver to secure foot to column with four Screw A (M6x35mm) on each side.
STEP 2
Use Allen wrench to secure top support bracket to beam with two Screw E (M6x20mm) on each side.
* Tip: The Illustrated beam placement allows controller to be on the right side of the desk. If you prefer
controller to be on the left, turn the beam (only) 180° so the two mounting holes for the control box will be on
the right instead.

Elite Series Assembly Guide 7 |Page
STEP 3
Turn the assembled beam from Step 2 over and insert assembled lifting columns from Step 1into them beam
STEP 4 (VERY IMPORTANT. READ CAREFULLY)
At each end of the beam, there are two holes marked with red dots and two holes with green dots on the inner
side. (See picture below).
Locate L-shaped lever and insert the end marked with a RED dot into the hole also marked with a RED dot. On
the opposite side, insert the end of lever marked with a GREEN dot into the hole that is also marked with a
GREEN dot. Slide the green-dotted end all the way into the hole until it touches the inner beam.

Elite Series Assembly Guide 8 |Page
STEP 4 – CONT’D
With the green-dotted end all way into the hole, use your hand to push lever TOWARDS the lifting column. You
should feel some pressure while pushing the lever down. Once the lever is flush with the beam, use a tool like a
flat-head screwdriver to push it all the way down until it touches the surface where the beam rests. If no
pressure is felt while pushing the lever down, check whether the top support bracket is installed and secured
properly.
Repeat on the other side.
Each lifting column requires two L-shaped levers to be properly secured. The two L-shaped levers, when
installed correctly, should form a tight lock and secure the lifting columns to the beam. Top support brackets
must be installed first. It is normal that you feel more pressure on one lever than the other when pushing the
levers down. Make sure the levers DO NOT WIGGLE or DO NOT FEEL LOOSE. If they do, the levers are either
defective or not properly installed.

STEP 5
With two people, turn the frame to upright position. Control box is to be installed inside the beam and rests on
the two holders.
On one end of control box, there are four ports – two for motor cables and two for controller. On the opposite
end, there is only one socket for power cord. If you want controller to be installed on the right side of desk,
make sure the 4-port end is the on right side as well. If you want controller to be on the left side, make sure
that you place the beam according to the tip in Step 2 and the 4-port end of control box is on the left. Please
note that there are two pre-drilled holes for controller on the bottom of right side desk top, not on the left side.
Depending which side of the desk you want controller to be installed, make sure to tuck one of the motor
cables (shown as Wire 1 or 2 in the diagram) underneath control box’s built-in slot before securing it two nuts
and bolts on one end and one on the other.

STEP 6
Connect both motor cables to the control box.
Connect controller cable to either port on the control box.
Connect one end of power cord to the control box. Don’t connect the other end to a power outlet yet.
STEP 7
This step is a two-person job. Carefully move the assembled frame onto desk top.
Align the holes on the support brackets to those pre-installed anchors on the top. Secure each side with three
Screw D (M6x15mm).
STEP 8

Elite Series Assembly Guide 11 |Page
Secure controller to pre-drilled holes on the bottom of right desk top with two Screw F. Please note that there
are no pre-drilled holes on the bottom of left desk top. If you prefer controller to be installed on the left, please
go back to Step 2.
With two people, grab the assembled desk by SUPPORT BRACKETS (not desk top) and turn the desk over to
upright position. Adjust leveling studs on the feet as needed.
STEP 9
Motors must be initialized before your first use.
Connect power cord to a power outlet. Press and hold the DOWN button from the controller. The lifting
columns will make a short downward motion and reach their lowest position. They will back up slightly and
then stop. This completes the initialization and synchronization process. Your desk is now ready to use.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Issues(s)
