Mount the FlipTop Assembly
A mounting hole is required for an FT2-1200-ELEC installation. Use the
included template to cut a new mounting hole for new installations. When
determining the location for the FT2-1200 assembly, consider where
users will be seated and their proximity to the FT2-1200 assembly's
modules and retractors. Refer to the FT2A-CBLR-1T and FT2A-CBLR-GR
series cable retractors for above-the-table cable pull-out lengths.
Cut the Mounting Hole
A saw, tracing utensil, and the included cutout template are required to
cut the mounting hole.
1. Check the table surface and the area beneath the table. Clear any
obstructions that may impede the installation or functionality of the
FT2-1200 assembly, retractors, and accessories.
