Removing Drawers
Note: To ease the assembly of
support brackets to cabinets and
cabinets to worksurfaces, all file
drawers should be removed.
1. Empty the contents of file drawers
and open drawer until suspension
is fully extended (Figure 1).
2. Using a slot screwdriver, place
tip between the drawer body and
the suspension, near the slip
connection (Detail A).
3. Rotate the screw driver to pry the
glide away from the drawer body,
while pressing up on the bottom of
the drawer (Detail A).
4. The drawer will now slip free from
the rear connections by pulling
the drawer evenly at a slight angle
upwards (Figure 1).

U-Series®Pedestal - Panel Supporting Bracket
Assembly Instructions
U-Series Pedestal, Panel
Supporting Bracket without
Spacer
1. Position the panel supporting
bracket along the top and side edge
of the pedestal as shown. Be sure
the teeth are facing up (Figure 2).
Note: If a spacer-type panel
supporting bracket is required, go
to page 3.
Important: Care should be taken
to ensure that the supporting
bracket is aligned well with the top
and side of the cabinet for cosmetic
integrity and safe installation of the
worksurfaces. Using a small piece
of double-sided tape at the top and
bottom of the bracket to hold it in
place can aid in alignment of the
supporting bracket.
2. Using the four #10-16 x 1/2”
self-drilling sheet metal screws
provided, carefully secure the panel
supporting bracket to the cabinet
(Figure 2 or 3).
Note: For right-hand installations,
align the supporting bracket with
the right side of the cabinet
(Figure 2). For left-hand
installations align the supporting
bracket with the left side of the
cabinet (Figure 3).
3. To install pedestal to worksurface,
go now to page 4.
Tip: A small piece of double-sided tape
will help hold the bracket in alignment to
the pedestal while driving the self-drilling
and tapping screws into place.

Assembly Instructions
U-Series Pedestal, Panel
Supporting Bracket with Spacer
1. Locate the spacer attachment
along the top and side edge of the
pedestal as shown (Figure 4).
Note: For right-hand
installations, align the spacer with
the right side of the cabinet with
the studs facing left (Figure 4).
For left-hand installations flip the
spacer over and align the bracket
on the left side of the cabinet with
the studs pointed right (Figure 5).
Important: Care should be
taken to ensure that the spacer
is aligned well with the top and
side of the cabinet for cosmetic
integrity and safe installation of
the worksurfaces. Using a small
piece of double-sided tape at the
top and bottom of the bracket
to hold it in place can aid in
alignment of the spacer.
2. Using the four #10-16 x 1/2”
self-drilling sheet metal screws
provided, carefully secure the
spacer to the cabinet (Figure 4).
3. Attach the panel supporting
bracket to the spacer. Secure to
the threaded studs on the spacer
with the four ¼-20 KEPS nuts
provided (Figure 4).
4. To install pedestal to worksurface,
go now to page 4.
Tip: A small piece of double-sided tape
will help hold the bracket in alignment to
the pedestal while driving the self-drilling
and tapping screws into place.

U-Series®Pedestal - Panel Supporting Bracket
Assembly Instructions
Pedestal to Panel Installation
Note: All pedestals mount to
the panel in the same manner,
regardless of bracket style.
1. At the location for pedestal
installation, move the pedestal
to the panel and insert the
upward facing teeth of the panel
supporting bracket into the
notches in the panel frame.
2. Twist and extend the four glides to
raise the pedestal and allow the
upward facing teeth of pedestal
bracket to engage the panel. This
will firmly lock the teeth of the
bracket to secure the pedestal to
the panel.
Worksurface to Pedestal
Installation
3. Carefully place worksurface onto
the installed cantilever bracket,
(if used) and the pedestal. Align
mounting holes of the installed
bracket to pre-drilled holes in
underside of worksurface. Secure
using two screws appropriate for
the bracket. Take care to not
over-tighten screws (Figure 6).

Note: If installing a double
pedestal (not shown), no holes
have been pre-drilled into the
underside of the worksurface
for installation. Once the double
pedestal is aligned square, use
the pedestal mounting holes as
a template, and pre-drill using
1/8” drill bit, to depth of 1/2” into
underside of worksurface. Take
care to not drill too deep.
4. To install pedestal to underside
of worksurface, align pre-drilled
holes in the worksurface with
mounting holes of the pedestal.
Take care to assure that the front
and side of the pedestal is flush
with the edges of the worksurface
as illustrated (Figure 6).
Note: If a Knife Edge worksurface
is being installed, the pedestal
will be set back from the front
edge of worksurface.
5. Once mounting holes are aligned
and cabinet is square, secure
pedestal to worksurface using
four hanger bolts and one thumb
screw (Figure 6).
6. Re-install pedestal drawers by
first extending suspensions out
of cabinet. Slide the rear slip
connection together by aligning
the tab of the suspension with
the corresponding slot in the
drawer body. Hold suspension
firmly while pushing the drawer,
making sure the slip connection
is together properly.
7. With the rear slip connection
in place correctly, the front
connection tabs will align and the
drawer can be pushed down and
snapped securely into place.
