Panels
PANELS come from the factory with the “Quick Connect” clips pre-installed on both
sides of the panels. One side is pointing up and the other side is pointing down.
UNIVERSAL CORNER POSTS come from the factory with the “Quick Connect”
clips pre-installed on 3 sides. One side is pointing down, and 2 adjacent sides are
pointing up.
Slide connections together, and press firmly in place. Do not use hammer to try
to secure panels.
Leveling Tip:
• If panels don’t line up exactly, please lower the glide on the lower panel to level
the panels.
Corner Post Tips:
• Align the “Quick Connect” clips on the first panel of a run so both sides point UP.
This will allow the Corner Post to be dropped onto one side, and the adjacent
panels to also be dropped on. Then the rest of the panels in the run can be easily
dropped onto each other.
• For 2 ways, remove one set of clips by loosening the set screw, and slide up and
out, through the channel. Snap in 2 Post Trim Strips to finish 2 open sides.
• For 3-ways, snap in Post Trim Strip to finish 4th side.
• For 4-ways, install the clips on the 4th side facing up, so the panel can be
dropped on.

Quick Connect Clips
Lock Clips
Add or remove “Quick Connect” clips with a Phillips screwdriver, by loosening the
screw enough to allow the clip to slide freely.
To remove clip, lift tab on top of panel and slide clips out of groove.
To change clip orientation, use the following hole configurations.
• Top hole to have clip point down.
• Bottom hole to have clip point up.
Post: (a)
Put the lock clip in such a way that the short end of the clip is over the top connector
and the longer side is facing the panel (even if it’s on an angle). Using a mallet and a
flat screwdriver, hammer the lock clip down until you feel it catch the lower screw.
Between Panels: (b)
Put the lock clip in such a way that the short end of the clip is over the top connector
and the longer side is facing the panel. Using a mallet and a flat screwdriver, hammer
the lock clip down until you feel it catch the lower screw.
Releasing the lock clip:
Pull the leveler (sdjustor) downat the panel that it’s connector is on top and push the
other panel down.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Compile Pedestals come shipped with cardboard protection on top, bottom and all four
corners, and then shrink wrapped.
Compile Pedestals may be stacked up to 3 high, in the shipping trailer, during
delivery.
All Worksurface Supporting Pedestals ship with holes punched in the tops, on all
four corners, to allow simple attachment to worksurfaces., using wood screws
less than 1” long.
Compile Pedestals ship with leveling glides on all four corners. Please use a drill,
with standard drill bit extension, to level pedestal to proper height, prior to attach-
ing screws to worksurface.
Ensure that all panels are leveled and securely connected before proceeding with
installation of worksurfaces supports.
STEP 1: Align the first bracket’s edge with pedestal’s top corner and rear vertical edge
as illustrated.
STEP 2: Secure the top bracket with supplied, self-drilling, counter-sunk head screws.
STEP 3: Align the second bracket’s bottom edge with pedestal’s bottom corner and
rear vertical edge and secure it with supplied, self-drilling, countersunk head screws.
(Not shown).
STEP 4: Angle the pedestal on the floor and insert bracket ends into panel’s vertical
side groove.
STEP 5: Rotate the pedestal while making sure that both brackets remain securely
engaged inside the panel’s vertical side groove. Install worksurface support on the
opposite side of the worksurface as specified. Rest worksurface on both supports.
STEP 6: Adjust pedestal’s levelers to level the worksurface and ensure that the pedes-
tal’s side is perpendicular to the panel.
NOTE: Read before you proceed with the next step! If you use a full depth pedestals
( 24” deep pedestal under 24” deep worksurface) to secure worksurfaces to a panel
with optional Panel cable manager, do not bolt the pedestal to the worksurface yet.
You may have to angle and slide the pedestal partially out in order to gain an access
to the panel’s cable manager. In this case, the following step (#7) should be done at
the end of the installation, after all cables had been tucked away in the Panel cable
manager.
STEP 7: Remove drawers, pre-drill the pedestal top and drive two wood screws
through the pedestal top, into the worksurface. Replace the drawers and secure the
opposite side of the worksurface to its support.
