Sliding Return
3”
1”
NOTE:
Round legs:
Sliding Return can be installed anywhere along the front edge of worksurface
supported by round legs.
Rectangular legs:
Sliding Return can be installed along the front edge of worksurface between
Rectangular legs.
Sliding return can be installed under a seam of two adjacent worksurfaces
supported by recessed, 34” back-to-back leg.
Ensure that back-to-back table installation is complete, level and structurally sound.
Installation of Sliding Rail requires a special degree of accuracy of worksurface
alignment. Failure to do so may result in binding of the sliding mechanism on the
Sliding Rail.
Establish range of the Sliding Return.
STEP 1: Mark a line 3” in from (and parallel with) the front edge of worksurface.
STEP 2: Position the Sliding Rail and secure it with supplied screws. Always proceed
from the second hole, leaving the first hole for installation of the Rail stop.
NOTE: The pair of screws provided to secure the rubber rail stops at either
end of the rail are longer than the screws for securing the rail to the
worksurface. Do not use these longer screws to secure the rail as the screws
may penetrate through the top of the worksurface.
STEP 3: Secure leg support bracket to a leg frame with supplied machine screws (wide
flat allen head).
STEP 4: Place the Sliding Return worksurface upside down on a clean surface. Secure
the leg assembly to the worksurface with supplied wood screws. Ensure that
the legs are set to the same height as the legs supporting the rest of the table
installation.
STEP 5: Place eight supplied rubber spacers over pre-drilled holes. If you are
converting an existing Return worksurface to a Sliding Return, mark a line 1”
in from (and parallel with) the edge of the Return worksurface.
STEP 6: Align supporting brackets with rubber spacers / pre-drilled holes (or the
marked line) and secure both brackets with supplied wood screws.
NOTE: In order to ensure a smooth sliding action, both brackets must be
perfectly perpendicular to the edge of the return worksurface.
STEP 7: Slide the two glide blocks with bushings carefully onto the Rail as illustrated.
STEP 8: This step requires two people:
While the leg supported side of the Return rests on the floor have an assistant
position supporting brackets under sliding glide blocks, align the holes and
gently drive in two machine screws (metric M6 as provided). Do not tighten.
In the same manner secure the second bracket to the second glide block and
test smoothness of the slide. Carefully tighten all four metric screws while
repeatedly testing smoothness of the slide. If the return binds on the Sliding
Rail, then your support bracket(s) are not perpendicular to the rail - causing the
glide blocks to jam.
STEP 9: Secure rail stops to both ends of the rail with supplied (longer) screws to
prevent disengagement.
