SAFETY NOTICE:
For proper support, the Lift System MUST NOT be attached to any material that is less than ¾” thick. This applies to BOTH the back
and bottom mounting points.
The Lift Column is ONLY designed and rated for VERTICAL, NON-INVERTED USE. DO NOT MOUNT THIS LIFT SYSTEM UPSIDE DOWN
or SIDEWAYS (HORIZONTALLY, AS IN A LATERAL MOUNT)!
TIP: Inverted (drop down) lift systems are available from Nexus 21. Contact Customer Service at (866) 500-5438.
Space requirements for the L-23S Lift System are as follows:
Depth= TV depth + 5.4”
Height = 24.1”minimum
Width= TV Width + 2”
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Lift System must be mounted as high up as possible inside the cabinet, so that when the Lift is in the fully “DOWN”
position (fully retracted), the top of the TV will be just underneath the lid of the cabinet.
Lift System height and mounting position:
When fully assembled, the HEIGHT of the Lift will be 24.1”. If the inside height of your cabinet is taller than this, you will
need to mount the Lift higher up inside the cabinet.
TIP: If you need to mount the lift higher up inside the cabinet, you can cut a wood block or mount a small shelf inside the cabinet for the lift
column to sit on. Keep in mind that the “Bayonet Bracket” (part #3) will bear most of the weight.
About the Cabinet Lid (Cabinet Top)
SAFETY NOTICE:
WARNING! YOU MUST NOT DIRECTLY SCREW THE CABINET LID (TOP) TO THE LIFT SYSTEM!! THIS CREATES HAZARDOUS
“PINCH POINTS” AND MAY AFFECT THE OPERATION OF THE LIFT OR CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE CABINET TOP.
For floating lids, DO NOT USE SCREWS to attach the lid to the Lift System. Instead, use the “Threaded Taper Pins”. This
will keep the lid firmly in place, but will also allow it to separate from the lift system if anything (like a finger) gets in the way when
the TV lowers.
Which Lid Style Will You Use? (There are 2 Different Styles) –Hinged Lid is Not Compatible
Floating Lid (Floating Top) –The whole top of the cabinet sits on top of the Lift System and raises/lowers with the TV. This
is the standard installation method, using the Top Plate (part #7) and Threaded Taper Pins.
Cut-Out Floating Lid (Top)–You will “cut out” part of your cabinet top, customizing it to the size of your TV. That cut-out
lid then sits on top of the Lift System and raises/lowers with the TV. This method uses the Top Plate (part #7) and Threaded
Taper Pins, but you must set up a “catch” for the cut-out lid so that when the TV lowers, the lid stops level with the rest of
your cabinet top (like a manhole cover).
NOTE: There are several different methods for setting up the “catch”, but the hardware to do it is not
included with the Lift System because it is part of the cabinet. Hardware suggestions include: buy 4
small corner brackets and screw to underside of main top, with edges exposed to catch the corners of
the cut-out lid. The same thing can be accomplished with 1” x 1” “cleats”, which are strips of
hardwood, mounted underneath, with edges exposed to catch the lid.
