attac ment is required.
Attaching Screen(s) (optional)
1. Carefully unpack all parts and place
screens onto a soft, protective surface.
Identify screens from t e “Screen
Part Numbers” diagram & Figure 1.
2. Identify t e applicable brackets
below from Figures 2, 3 & 4.
Note: All screen brackets must
be assembled to table(s) before
proceeding wit table assembly.
Screens may be attac ed to brackets
at end of table assembly if desired.
a. Standard Leg Brackets: Used
to attac straig t (A) and corner
(C & D) screens to standard legs
(Figure 2).
b. Screen-to-Table Brackets: Used
to attac end of run screen (B)
to underside of table worksurface
(Figure 3). T ese brackets are used
on non-adjustable tables only.
c. Corner Post Leg Brackets: Used
to attac corner screens (C & D)
to corner post leg.
3. Attac t e brackets as follows:
a. Attac left- and rig t- and
brackets to t e standard legs
using t e 1/4"-20 x 1/2" Allen
socket ead screws (two per
leg). See Figure 2.
b. Attac left- and rig t- and
brackets to t e end screen B
using t e 1/4"-20 x 3/4" Allen
socket ead screws (Figure 3).
c. Attac left- and rig t- and
