Building the Base
1. Please invite a friend to help—two people are necessary to
flip your desk. Expect to spend about an hour building this
desk. Before you get started, lay a blanket down to protect
your floor.
ATTACH CROSSBARS
2. Position the legs facing each other as shown
3. Take the crossbars out of the box and loosen the set screw
on each crossbar using the Small Allen Wrench. Expand each
crossbar according to your top size, and tighten the set
screw.
• For a 45" wide top extend each crossbar to 403/8" long
• For a 51" wide top extend each crossbar to 463/8" long
• For a 57" wide top extend each crossbar to 523/8" long
Helpful hint: This step is especially important for 45" wide
tops. See below for a guide for identifying 3/8" on a tape
measure.
4. Place the crossbars near the motor housing as shown with
the set screws facing up. Use eight (8) Screw Socket Flat
Head M8 x 16 ZN 1-6 (A) to attach the crossbars to motor
housing. You can tilt the base or lay it on its side if you have
trouble getting the screws secure without dropping them into
the channel. It helps to start with the inner screw first then
secure the outer screw, as in the sequence shown. That way
if you drop a screw into the channel, you can tilt the base and
roll the screw out of the open end.
It is normal to feel resistance when installing these screws.
They are intentionally snug for a sturdy connection, however,
if you feel like the screw is going in crooked (known as cross
threading), remove the screw and start again.
Set screws
must be
facing up for
easy access.

ATTACH THE FEET
5. Attach the feet to the legs using four (4) Screw Socket
Round M8 x 16 ZN (B).
ATTACH SIDE BRACKETS
6. Have a friend help you carefully turn the base right side up
and attach the side bracket to the motor housing and
crossbars using four (4) ¼-20x5/8Under-cut Flathead,
100 degree screws (C).
It is normal to feel resistance when installing these screws,
too. They are intentionally snug for a sturdy connection,
however, if you feel like the screw is going in crooked (known
as cross threading), remove the screw and start again.
It should start looking like a table now.
You are about halfway done!

APPLY BUMPERS
7. Install the square bumpers and round bumpers as
shown. Square bumpers get used on the smaller
portion of the crossbar. Round bumpers get used
everywhere else. The bumpers should sit right next to a
screw hole on either side but should not cover the hole
since you’ll need access to the holes to attach the
worksurface. Move your base to the side but keep it
nearby while you can get the top situated. You’ll need it
in the next step.
Adding the Worksurface
POSITION THE WORKSURFACE
8. Place your worksurface top-down on the blanket to
protect the surface and your floor. The pilot holes
should be facing up and the holes for the handset
should be nearest you. With a friend, gently tip your
base onto the worksurface.
9. Carefully reposition the base so that the holes of the
base align with the pilot holes in the top. Start by
aligning the side bracket holes to the corresponding
pilot holes in the top. Be careful not to remove the
bumpers applied in Step 7 as you reposition the base.
Helpful Hint: You can loosen the set screws to readjust
the width of your base if you find the holes are not lining
up properly. Be sure to tighten the set screws when
you're done.
10. When in position, lift the frame just enough to slide the
power supply holder over the crossbars but do not
install the power supply yet. The power supply holder
resembles the letter "S". Hook the small side onto the
crossbar. The power supply will get installed later and
slips into the larger part of the S. Ensure the holder
starts about 2" from the motor housing and is not
covering any of the predrilled holes in your worksurface.

ATTACH THE WORKSURFACE
11. You'll want to use the Worksurface Guide that shipped with
your top for the next part. Attach the side brackets to the
worksurface using four (4) #10 x 1" wood screws (D) and
the pre-drilled holes.
12. Attach the crossbar to the worksurface starting with the
screws directly next to the motor housing using four (4)
#10 x 2½" wood screws (E).
13. Continue securing the crossbar to the worksurface. Use
the Worksurface Guide for this step. The 51"-wide top will
use an additional two (2) #10 x 2½" wood screws (E). A
57"-wide top will use an additional four (4) #10 x 2½" (E).
No additional screws are required for a 45"-wide top.
This screw is longer than the
rest and is designed to pass
through the crossbar before
attaching to the worksurface.
Any other use will damage your
worksurface.

Powering the Desk
Note: The view below is looking down on the upside-down
table, with worksurface on ground.
14. Do not plug in components until step 17, but proceed to
attach the handset and control box to the underside of
worksurface.
15. Secure the handset to the front edge of the top using the
provided wood screws and pre-drilled holes.
16. Secure the control box to the underside of the desk with
the provided wood screws and pre-drilled holes. The label
will be visible when installed correctly.
17. Connect the legs to the control box first, then connect the
handset to the control box. It does not matter which port
you use, just be sure the connections are secure. Next,
connect the power cord to power supply but do not plug
the cord into the wall until instructed to do so. Slide the
power supply into the holder. Then connect the power
supply to the control box.
