Rockler Adjustable Height Workstation User manual

Adjustable Height Workstation
Assembly Instructions
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Adjustable
Height Workstation! It allows you to set the height of your
work surface anywhere between 261⁄2" and 42", and its smooth,
easy-to-adjust hydraulic system can lift up to 500 lbs. Please
review these instructions thoroughly before beginning.
Notes for Unpacking and Operation
• Keep the Leg Assembly as it arrives in the box. Don’t push
the inner leg out to the point that the black bearing comes
out at the top; it is difficult to return.
• Be especially careful when handling the hydraulic
components (pump housing, tubing and brass pistons).
Do not drop the components or kink the tubing. Do not
attempt to adjust any fittings. The components form a
sealed system that requires no adjustment; any damage to
the system could prevent it from performing properly.
• The maximum recommended top size is 30"x 60".
• The tabletop should be centered on the table assembly,
and weight on the table should be evenly distributed to
prevent tipping and to ensure proper lift performance.
• The hydraulic mechanism has a load capacity of 500 lbs.;
it requires a load of at least 20 lbs. (including tabletop) for
even lowering.

Attach Pump Housing
to Table Arm Support
• Decide whether you want the lift mechanism to be on
the right or left side of the assembled table. Right-side
mounting is shown.
• Be especially careful when handling the Pump Housing
(4) and other hydraulic components. Do not bend or
kink the tubing, and do not drop the brass pistons.
Attach Table Arm Supports to Legs
• A helper will make this step easier.
• Hold on to the Feet (2) when flipping the assembly so
that the inner leg doesn’t drop out of the upper leg.
• You will need to cut the ties holding the hydraulic
tubing. Be especially careful not to cut or damage the
tubing itself.
•The brass piston with the shorter tubing should go into
the center of the Leg Assembly on which the Pump
Housing (4) will be located.

• Feed the hydraulic tubing toward the back of the Arm
Support.
• When attaching the Table Arm Support (6) to the Leg
Assembly (1), be careful not to drop the screws into the
Leg Assembly, and be sure the hydraulic tubing is not
kinked or pinched between the Table Arm Support (6)
and Leg Assembly.

Attach the Stretcher
• Flip the assembly, making sure to hold on to the
Feet (2) that the inner leg doesn’t drop out of the upper
leg. Be careful not to damage the hydraulic tubing.
• The Stretcher (7) should be positioned no closer than
6"from the underside of the tabletop.
• Rockler’s Total Lock 3/8"Stem Casters (34000, sold
separately) can be installed instead of the Adjustable
Glides (16) if easy mobility is desired. Casters will limit
the maximum weight capacity to 400 lbs.

pressure, taking care not to damage the hydraulics.

Install a Tabletop and Secure the Tubing
Note: The maximum recommended top size is 30"x 60".
The tabletop should be centered on the table assembly, and
weight on the table should be evenly distributed to prevent
tipping and to ensure proper lift performance. The lift
mechanism requires a load of 20 lbs. for even lowering.
1. Place the tabletop, top side down, on a
non-scratch surface.
Note: Hold on to the Feet (2) when flipping the
assembly so that the inner leg doesn’t drop out of the
upper leg. Be careful not to damage the hydraulic
tubing.
2. Carefully turn the table assembly over and position it
so it is centered on the tabletop, with the front of the
tabletop extending no more than 3"beyond the ends of
the Table Arm Supports (6).
3. Use the holes in the Table Arm Supports (6) to mark
and drill pilot holes for the included #14 x 1"Screws
(26).
4. Secure the tabletop to the table assembly.
5. Carefully coil the hydraulic tubing in loops no smaller
than 3"in diameter; hold with Zip Ties (24) and secure
to the tabletop with the included Tube Clips (25).
6. With a helper, carefully turn the table upright, being
sure to hold on to the Feet (2) to prevent them from
dropping and the Leg Assemblies from separating.
