5. Task Light
6. Tack Board
7. Temporary Overhead Support Fillers (2)
Installation Sequence:
A. Carefully Place and position Towers on
the worksurface. Separate them by the

B. Install the lower back between the 2 side
towers using the 4 L-brackets in the
supplied kit. The side towers and back are
pre-drilled to locate the brackets. The
brackets should be on the front face of the
back, and will be covered later by the
tackboards.
C. Apply the supplied felt strips on the
bottoms of the 2 temporary overhead
supports. Place them felt side down, against
the Right and Left Side Towers, and clamp
them in place.

Getting Started
To begin the installation, start with the wall based furniture. Build out into the middle of the room,
taking care to level furniture to the highest spot in the floor.

Step 5 - Ensure that storage cabinets are placed tightly together. Using a carpenter’s level,
ensure that the storage cabinets are level with each other and the support panels. The cabinet
leveler or foot nearest the highest spot in the floor should be screwed tightly into the cabinet to
minimize the overall height of the station.
IF THERE IS A FREESTANDING UPPER STORAGE CABINET, PROCEED IMMEDIATELY TO
THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED WITH THE UPPER STORAGE CABINET, BEFORE
INSTALLING THE REAR UNIT WORKSURFACE.
If a Bridge Return with Panel has been ordered, it will be easier to install all of the worksurfaces
after the placement of Return and Desk panels. To attach Bridge panel, follow the following steps
of "Typical Bridge Return”. When completed, return to “Attaching the worksurfaces.”

Step 1 -Remove one pair of PH-32 hooks from groove at end of Bridge Return modesty panel
(similar to electrical access panel on previous page).
Step 2 - Install PH-32 hooks to the end of the Rear Unit end panel. Follow the directions provided
with the panel hardware: measure the correct height from the bottom of the Bridge Return
modesty panel when the brackets are tightly nested together. When the panel is installed, the
panel should be flush at worksurface and bottom, and fit tightly to the Rear Unit end panel.
Step 2 - Install PH-32 hooks to the end of the Rear Unit end panel. Follow the directions provided

Step 5 - Place the Desktop in position, careful to maintain the correct edge overhang (1/4”, 3/4” or
0”) over the drawer fronts on the user edge, depending on edge detail).

Step 6 - Install a pair of flat brackets to the bottom of the Desktop, set in from the front and rear
edges of the Bridge Return worksurface as shown on the prior page.
Step 7 - Place the Bridge Return worksurface on the brackets. Flush the back edge of the Return
worksurface to the end of the Rear Unit worksurface. Ensure a tight seam between the
worksurfaces.
Step 8 - Secure Return worksurface to Rear Unit flat brackets using the screws provided.
Step 9 – Align the back edge of Return worksurface and the end of the Desktop. Tighten seam
between Return worksurface and Desktop. And secure the worksurfaces with the screws
provided.
Step 10 - Square up all supporting modesty panels, so that worksurfaces are flush. Secure the
worksurfaces to the panels through the L-brackets on the support panels and to the storage
through the pre-drilled holes in the top rails of the storage cabinets (See “Attaching the
Worksurfaces”)
Step 11 - Reinstall drawer boxes as described in “Drawer Removal and Installation.”

Attaching the Worksurfaces
Step 1 - Remove all visible tags and place the worksurface on top of the storage units and
support panels.
Step 2 - Align the worksurface flush with the back of the storage and the support panel. Center
the worksurface in the event that there is a small overhang.
Step 3 - Inside of the storage cabinet, drive the provided 1-1/2” screws through the predrilled
holes in the top pedestal rails and into the underside of the worksurface. Note: hold down
worksurface while securing to prevent movement.
Step 4 - Secure the support panels to the underside of the worksurface.
Step 5 - Fine-tune the leveling of the entire unit. Level floor units by starting with the unit nearest
the wall and work outward. Place carpenters level on worksurface of unit and examine leveling
from side to side. Adjust floor glides by turning them clockwise or counterclockwise as necessary.
Place level running from front to back of same unit and adjust glides accordingly. Repeat this step
for each unit. When cabinets are properly leveled, the cabinets should fit tightly together and
drawers and doors should be aligned vertically, without “Stair-stepping.” (Note: Proper leveling of
Rear Unit components will result in best performance of the electrical access panel, drawers and
locks.)

Typical Desk
Step 1 - Attach Desk end panel to Return modesty panel, if provided, using the PH-32 hooks
found in the groove on the end of the Return panel. These hooks are mounted and oriented
exactly as on the Rear Unit end panel.
Step 2 - Attach the Desk modesty panel to the Desk end panel. Insert the modesty panel PH-32
hooks on the face of the Desk end panel into the groove on the end of the Return panel. Slide the
panels together side-to-side, and then down, until they are firmly locked together.
Step 3 - Place the Desk pedestal at the end of the modesty panel, very minimally set back at the
edge so that the back of the pedestal is not visible.
Set pedestal in from
end 1/32” (let panel
overhang), so back of
pedestal is not visible.
Step 4 - Level support panels and pedestal to the Rear Unit and Return modesty panels.
Step 5 - Remove pedestal drawers. See “Drawer Removal and Installation.”
Step 6 - Affix the modesty panel to the back of the pedestal, by driving screws through the back
of the rear support rails into the inside face of the modesty panel. Use two 1-1/2” screws at the
top and two 1-1/2” screws at the bottom.
Screw through back of
pedestal rails into modesty
panel.
