optimal location for support leg
The Kangaroo is designed to hold your laptop
or LCD monitor on the monitor shelf and your
keyboard and mouse on the main
work surface.
Your Kangaroo is shipped in the down
position with both the monitor shelf brake
and the main brakes tightened. The Kangaroo
has (2) springs that assist in raising your unit
to the standing position and work best when
your laptop or monitor and keyboard are in
place. This reduces the amount of pressure
needed to lower the unit.
Always push down with both hands on the
horizontal rear rail when lowering
the main work surface.
How TO UsE THE KANGAROO
To raise the Kangaroo, loosen the
main brake (C) and lift the main work
surface on the sides (D & D) .
To raise the Monitor, loosen the
monitor brake (A) and lift the
monitor shelf.
To lower the Kangaroo, loosen the
main brake (C) and lean into the unit
using your upper body weight
pushing down with both hands on
the horizontal bar at the rear of the
main horizontal work surface (B & B) .
To Lower the monitor shelf, loosen
the monitor brake (A) and push down
with one or two hands on the
monitor shelf.

ADJUST STOPPING BOLT
On the back side of your unit you will notice a small bolt located on the
lifting tower. This bolt is used as our work surface stopper. It is currently set
at 1
5'', the highest our unit should go. This setting is for a 6'2" user on a 30"
high desk. If you are shorter than this, raise the unit to your desired height
and tighten the Main Brake. Adjust the stopping
bolt by loosening the bolt
with one turn and drop the bolt down to reach the lower support, and re-
tighten the stopping bolt.
If you are a taller individual and need to raise the stopping bolt, please note
that the
work surface can get up to 16 1/ 2 inches but you will be raising the
unit into the oil dampening zone of the spring. This makes it a little more
difficult to lower the unit into the seated position when raised to this
maximum point.
Our work surface should only be raised to your belt or navel line. This
creates a 90-11 0 degree angle in your elbows which is suggested in the
standing position . This will also allow you to lower the unit with ease by
simply transferring your upper body weight into the back of the unit .
THE STABILIZATION LEG
Your adjustable height desk top unit comes with an adjustable leg that can be
used to give you maximum stability when you are using "The Kangaroo" in the
standing position.
Raise the Kangaroo work surface to your desired standing height and tighten
the
work surface brake.
Place the adjustable leg under the work surface and loosen the adjustable leg
brake. Only loosen the brake by a turn or two, too much and the brake will
disengage from the slot.
Extend the adjustable leg until it engages the bottom of the work surface and
then tighten the adjustable leg brake.
The leg
is shipped with the extension section installed to give you additional
height adjustment. If this is too tall for your application, simply unscrew the
extension selection.
