Cable Routing Diagram
For the safety of the user and the workstation; the control box contains an internal sensor that is
sensitive to movement, vibration, and collision. For faultless operation, ensure all cables, electronics,
and accessories are cable managed and secured. Excessive load or weight must be distributed evenly. Failure
to follow these guidelines may cause intermittent functionality.
Caution:
*For tables 48” or smaller, the wire management can be moved.

assemblies from the worksurface and make sure both ends of the hex rod are properly engaged in the hex drives near the top
of the leg assemblies.
