Let's Get Started!
• Sweep the floor! Screws and small parts can damage
the worksurface.
• Put down a CLEAN shipping blanket to protect the worksurface.
Unpack the worksurface and place on the shipping blanket upside-down.
2
• REMEMBER - You're looking at the UNDERSIDE of the worksurface.
Are you sure which side is left or right?

center connector to the left and right stretcher using two (2)
1/4-20 type F flat head screws with phillips #3 drive...do not
tighten. (Left and right is determined when the table is
standing on the base and is viewed from the front.)

NOTE:
On 90oor 120otables, a 21" foot is
required when the side of the
worksurface is greater than 46". If
the worksurface side is less than
46", a 18" foot is required.
Once each lift column has been
engaged, lightly tap each
connection point with a rubber
mallet 1/8-1/4 inch at a time,
until completely seated. Do not
completely install one lift
column at a time...they must be
installed incrementally.

NOTE:
A clean, abrasion free

Align the center lifting column first.
Center each pre-drilled hole in the top to the slot in the attachment plate. Loosely
install one fastener in each of the pre-drilled pilot holes.
Once the center lifting column is secured, align the left and right lifting columns in a
similar fashion by moving the plate so that all pre-drilled holes are visible.
Don't install all fasteners until the unit has been operated through one cycle (Step 15).
NOTE: Do not force the left or right lifting columns to perfectly fit the attachment
mounting holes. This can cause binding during articulation.

NOTE: Do NOT use either lifting column as a
brace when turning the table over, as this
may cause binding. The top must be lifted
free, rotated, and set down carefully.
After the table is in place, install the 120v
plug into the control box. Secure the cord
to the control box using the molded-in clip.
Plug the cord into an outlet.

Synchronizing the Lifting Columns
Prior to initial use of the height adjustment function you must
"synchronize the system".
•Press the Down arrow until the worksurface comes to a stop at the
lowest position.
•Release the Down arrow.
•Press and hold the down arrow for approximately 5 seconds while
the table synchronizes itself. The surface will quickly lower itself
approximately 5mm, then rise approximately 5mm and finally settle
back to its lowest position.
After performing this function, the movement of all lifting columns
is synchronized by software inside the control box.
In the unlikely event that an error occurs, reset the control unit by
pressing the Up and Down buttons at the same time for 5
seconds. Then repeat the synchronizing sequence as previously
outlined above.
NOTE: Mounting of CPU and
CPU holders: Maximum height
for the 2 units cannot exceed
20-1/2".
Before use, the table must be completely leveled, front-to-back and
side-to-side using the height adjustable glides. Failure to do this
could cause the lifting columns to bind.
Before articulation, you must synchronize the lifting columns as
outlined below.

Guidelines on Moving the Table
When possible, the table should be moved in a horizontal (flat) position.
If the table must be moved vertically (i.e. standing on a pallet), care must be taken to ensure no side
pressure is placed on any of the lifting columns as it is tipped into position, during transport, and when
tipped off the pallet at the new location.
Before in use in the location, the table must again be completely leveled side-to-side and front-to-back.
Failure to do so may cause binding of the lifting columns and failure to operate properly.
After moving, the lifting columns must be re-synchronized by holding 'down' arrow on the Controller
while the lifting columns seek to level themselves.

When connecting cables as stated in Step 12, use this guide as a reference.
Connect the cables from the Lifting Columns to the cables provided. The other end should be connected
to the Control Box. Repeat this for each leg.
Connect the end of the Controller cable into the Control Box.
Follow Steps 13 - 15 to complete the wiring installation.
Once you have completed the wiring, use the Wire Managers to hold all the cables and minimize possible
entanglements.
NOTE: Vertical wire management solutions are also available from Details. Contact your local dealer or
Steelcase.com for more information.
