This is an alternative support to the leg installation described in step 
and would be performed at the same time:

10HermanMiller Replacement Instructions1BMJH0 rev B
b. Separate the two chases where the support will be installed
by about ” (since the power harnesses are loosely installed
they will slide slightly to allow this separation).
c. Install the two alignment pins into one of the chase ends.
Tap the pins into the chase until the knurled area is completely
inside the chase.
e. Slide the two chases together over the alignment pins. Then
slide the support so the top plate is centered over the joint
between the two chases.
f. Make sure the joint is tight and then tighten the screws in the
nut plates.
Steps  through  would be the same.
d. Slide the support into one of the chase ends with the nut
plates engaged in the slots of the chase. Make sure the open
side of the bottom clamp is facing toward the storage unit that
will be supporting the chase.
a. Stand the Chase upright properly supporting the Chase at each
joint and at each end. Make sure someone is supporting the joint
where the storage support is located as the chase is rotated upright.
Slide the Storage unit into the opening of the storage support bottom
clamp. The clamp will engage in the opening between the top panel
and the side panel of the storage unit. Level the chase and check all
joint to make sure that all joints are tight.
a. Leveling the Chase can take place in two locations depending
on the amount of leveling required. If more than ½” of
movement is required, remove the two bolts from the top of the
leg, raise up the inner portion of the leg in ½” increments and
re-install the two bolts.

d. Slide the Top half of the storage support into one of the chase
ends with the nut plates engaged in the slots of the chase.
e. Slide the two chases together over the alignment pins. Then
slide the support so the top plate is centered over the joint
between the two chases.
f. Make sure the joint is tight and then tighten the screws in the
nut plates.
g. Install the bottom half of the Storage support to the top of the
storage unit. Based on the desired nal location of the storage
unit with respect to the chase locate and mark the four mounting
holes in the bottom of the storage support weldment.
Pre-drill the holes in the top with a /” diameter drill bit. Fasten the storage support weldment to the storage unit
top with the self-tapping screws.

13HermanMiller Replacement Instructions1BMJH0 rev B
Make sure the holes in the side of the weldment are facing the same
direction as the side holes in the top half on the storage support that
is mounted to the chase.
Steps  through  would be the same.
a. Stand the Chase upright properly supporting the Chase at
each joint and at each end. Make sure someone is supporting
the joint where the storage support is located as the chase is
rotated upright. Li the Chase in the area where the storage
support is located just enough to slide the storage unit under
the support and slide the upper portion of the support into the
lower portion of the support. Install the two M screws into the
side of the storage support to secure. Level the chase and check
all joint to make sure that are tight.
a. Leveling the Chase can take place in two locations depending
on the amount of leveling required. If more than ½” of
movement is required, remove the two bolts from the top of the
leg, raise up the inner portion of the leg in ½” increments and
re-install the two bolts.
b. Smaller adjustments of ½” or less can be made using the glides
at the bottom of the leg or foot, or the bottom of the storage unit.

14HermanMiller Replacement Instructions1BMJH0 rev B
b. Locate the Post Leg using the pre-drilled holes in the work
surface. Note that some of the required leg holes are pre-drilled
in the surface, but the remaining holes need to be marked and
pre-drilled with a /” drill bit. Secure the leg to the top with
the self-tapping screws. Note that if a shared post leg is used,
the leg is half on one surface and half on the adjacent surface.
In some congurations, the Chase attached work surfaces may be needed
to help support and stabilize the Chase (Applications where the surfaces
are parallel to the chase – bench applications). The following describes
the process for installing the Chase attached work surfaces. These steps
would happen as part of step  where the chase is rotated upright.
. If a work surface will be needed to help support the chase, prior to
turning the Chase upright, prepare the work surface for installation to the
Chase:
a. Turn the work surface upside down and locate the Work surface tethers
using the pre-drilled holes along the long edge of the top (for parallel
applications). Note that two of the holes are pre-drilled. The other two
need to be marked and drilled using a /” drill bit. Fasten the work
surface tethers using the self-tapping screws. Install the two M set
screws into the bottom of the tethers. Turn them in just a few threads to
hold them in place.
