LINEAR BENCH ASSEMBLY (36" [914,4mm] wide to
96" [2438,4mm] wide)
1. With two people, carefully unpack the Worksurface
and place it finished side down on the empty carton or
on a clean carpeted surface. NOTE: Pre-drilled mounting
holes in underside of Worksurface are visible.
2. Both sets of Upper and Lower Side Frames are pre-
assembled at the factory. They must be unassembled
before attaching them to the Worksurface. Remove
the nuts, lock washers and carriage bolts and separate
the Upper and Lower Side Frames. See figure 1.
NOTE: Do not discard this hardware. It will be used in

3. Assemble the Stiffener to the Upper Side Frames as shown in
figures 2a and 2b. Slide the "tongue" at the end of the Stiffener
into the slots on the top of the Upper Side Frames. Align the holes
in the tongue with the holes in the top of the frame and secure
using two 1/4"-20 x 1/2" long hex head screws. See figure 2b.
Secure the gusset to the Stiffener using four 1/4"- 20 x 1/2" long
hex head screws. Assemble Gusset Mounting to Upper Side
frames using four 1/4"-20 x 1/2" long hex head screws.
