Lectern Wheel Setup
This wheel set can be attached to your Lectern Active to make moving it between locations
quick and easy.
To attach the wheels to your Lectern Active:
1. Carefully tilt your Lectern Active forward on its front side to allow access to the bottom of
the base. See image below for reference.
2. Using a screwdriver, remove the top two rubber foot pads from the Lectern Active base.
These screws can be set aside.
3. Place the wheel so the hole in its base is matched up with the hole in the Lectern Active
base where the rubber foot was attached.
4. Place the rubber foot pad back over the wheel, again making sure to properly align the
screw holes.
5. Use the included longer-length screws to secure the rubber foot pads and wheels to the
Lectern Active base. See image below for reference.
Note: Do not use the screws removed from the rubber foot pad, which are not long
enough to properly secure the wheels to the Lectern Active base. Use only the longer-
length screws included with the wheel set.
6. Carefully tilt Lectern Active upright.
To move Lectern Active once the wheels have been installed, simply tilt the unit toward
you and roll Lectern Active.
