Your iMac or Apple Monitor is very heavy
and the springs used to support it are very
strong. It may take a few days to get used
to the body mechanics required to lower
the unit.
To raise the Kangaroo, loosen the main
brake(C) and lift the main work
surface on the sides(D & D).
To raise your monitor, loosen the
monitor brake(A) and lift the monitor shelf
to the desired height.
To lower the Kangaroo, loosen the main
brake(C) and lean into the unit using your
upper body weight pushing down with both
hands on the horizontal bar at the rear of
the main horizontal work surface (B & B).
To Lower the monitor shelf, loosen the
monitor brake(A) and push down with one

The MyMac Kangaroo
The MyMac Kangaroo is designed to hold your iMac on the iMac Shelf and your Keyboard and Mouse on the Work
Platform. Your MyMac Kangaroo is shipped in the down position with both the iMac Shelf Brake and the Work
Platform Brakes tightened.
The MyMac Kangaroo has (2) very strong springs that assist in raising your unit to the standing position and work best
when your iMac and Keyboard are in place. This reduces the amount of pressure needed to lower the unit. Always
push down with both hands on the horizontal rear rail when lowering the work platform.
PoSITIon The BracKeTS
The Apple brackets will be position at the top of the shelf stubs, to
prevent bending in shipment. To move them down, loosen the
button head bolt notated in this picture by one turn with the
provided 5/32 allen wrench. This should allow the brackets to slide
down the rail to be positioned about 1 inch from the shelf. Once in
the correct position, tighten the button head bolt to hold the
brackets position.

adjUST The SToPPIng BoLT
On the back side of your unit you will notice a small bolt located on the
lifting tower. This bolt is used as our work surface stopper. It is currently set
at 15”, the highest our unit should go. This setting is for a 6’2“ user on a 30”
high desk. If you are shorter than this, raise the unit to your desired height
and tighten the Main Brake. Adjust the stopping bolt by loosening the bolt
with one turn and drop the bolt down to reach the lower support, and
re-tighten the stopping bolt.
If you are a taller individual and need to raise the stopping bolt, please note
that the work surface can get up to 16 1/2 inches but you will be raising the
unit into the oil dampening zone of the spring. This makes it a little more
difcult to lower the unit into the seated position when raised to this
maximum point.
Our work surface should only be raised to your belt or navel line. This creates
a 90-110 degree angle in your elbows which is suggested in the standing po-
sition. This will also allow you to lower the unit with ease by simply
transferring your upper body weight into the back of the unit.
The STaBILIzaTIon Leg
Your adjustable height desk top unit comes with an adjustable leg that can be used
to give you maximum stability when you are using “The Kangaroo” in the standing
position.
Raise the Kangaroo work surface to your desired standing height and tighten the work
surface brake.
Place the adjustable leg under the work surface and loosen the adjustable leg brake.
Only loosen the brake by a turn or two, too much and the brake will disengage from
the slot.
Extend the adjustable leg until it engages the bottom of the work surface and then
tighten the adjustable leg brake.
The leg is shipped with the extension section installed to give you additional height
adjustment. If this is too tall for your application, simply unscrew the extension
selection.
always remember to remove the stabilization
leg before lowering your work surface
