1. Introduktion
You have chosen FlexiBasic, the multi-flexible, height-adjustable, easy-to-mount frame. The frame
may be used separately or in combination with Verti or Diagonal, the adjustable system for wall
cupboards.
The frame has no inconvenient fascia and, consequently, the adjustment of the working height
from 65 to 95 cm + worktop thickness may be fully utilised.
Under the worktop there is sufficient room for knees and legs for wheelchair users, who obtain
freedom of movement and a perfect working posture.
If you want the colour of the frame to match your kitchen, you may order suitable covers for the
vertical legs.
FlexiBasic will give you a quick and easy adjustment of the frame by using the jack up. The frame
can be rebuild to a FlexiManual or a FlexiElectric at a later stage.
The correct use, operation and inspection are decisive factors for efficient and safe
performance.
2. Compliance with EU-Directives
This product has CE-marking and thus complies with the basic safety requirements. See separate CE-
declaration. See page19.
3. Application
The FlexiBasic frame is adjustable in height in order to obtain optimum working height for user and
helper. Do NOT use Flexi as a lifting table or person lifter.
The product should be used indoor, at temperatures and humidity as described in section 4
This document must ALWAYS be kept with the product and have been read and
understood by the user.

5. Supply points, water supply and waste
Length of Aluminum profile = Length of worktop minus 5 cm
It is important to use flexible hoses for water supply and waste to ensure that the FlexiBasic will
move freely without obstacles within the height adjustment range 65-95 cm. excl. worktop.
Arrange for the fixed feed pipes on the wall to be pointing down, at a height of max. 30 cm.
This will ensure that the flexible feed pipes will always flex in a neat curve close to the wall
without kinking. A 90 degree valve with a 1/2" exposed thread is recommended.
For worktops with cut-outs the distance from either side of the worktop should be considered as
shown on the illustration.

6. Mounting instructions, descriptions
Prior to assembly check that all parts have been provided. See list of components, from
page 15. See also mounting drawings page 7.
6.1 Assembly of frame
6.1.1 Push the legs into the groove of the lower side of the aluminium profile.
6.1.2 Position the adjustable legs on the aluminium profile, 2,5 cm from the left edge.
If there are any socket outlets obstructing the legs, move the leg a little towards the middle.
For frames with two legs, place one leg on either side.
Secure each leg to the aluminium profile with two bolts.
To obtain the correct height (65-95 cm without worktop) adjust the threaded bolt to each
leg. After mounting, the threaded bolts can be turned up to be hidden by the leg.
6.2 Mounting the support arms
6.2.1 The support arms may be pushed into the aluminium profile from either side to the required
position and fastened with two screws on each support.
6.2.2 Where you have an adjustable leg always position a support arm directly over it. Do not
adjust the tilting of the arm supports that are positioned on top of the legs (see 6.8.1).
We recommend a maximum distance between the support arms of 60 cm in order to obtain
optimum stability.
6.3 Mounting the frame on the wall
6.3.1 Place the frame against the wall and align it. Adjust the two threaded bolts under the legs to
ensure that the frame is horizontal.
6.3.2 To obtain the correct height (65-95 cm without worktop) adjust the threaded bolt to each
leg. After mounting, the threaded bolts can be removed.
Mark and drill the holes for fastening.
Fasten the frame to the wall by means of screws and raw plugs suiting the material of the
wall.
6.3.3 Misalignments up to 0,45 cm on the wall may be adjusted by fitting the provided spacers
(0,15 cm) between the legs and the wall.
Loosen the legs a bit and slide the spacers in between the wall and the legs, as required, at
the top or bottom depending on whether the wall is vertical.
6.4 Mounting of fittings for front fascia
6.4.1 Fittings for mounting of the wooden front fascia are provided, corresponding to the number
of support arms. Place the front fascia fittings on the side of the support arm and fasten
them loosely by means of the screw provided.
The equipment should always be assembled by competent personnel.

Side 12
6.4.2 On the outermost support arms we recommend pointing the front fascia fittings towards the
middle of the frame to prevent them from conflicting with the side fascia.
6.5 Mounting the worktop
6.5.1 Place the tabletop on the frame. The maximum permissible distance from the back of the
tabletop to the wall is 0.5 cm. (safety issue)
If the frame is moved away from the wall, the distance from the back of tabletop to the wall
MUST still be equal to or less than 0.5 cm.
6.5.2 The standard aluminium profile is 5 cm shorter than the worktop, resulting in a 2.5 cm
projection on either side.
6.5.3 Fasten the worktop with screws through the holes of the support arms.
6.6 Mounting the wooden front fascia
6.6.1 Fasten the wooden front fascia at the required position under the worktop by means of a
clamp. Press the front fascia fittings forward against the wooden front fascia and fasten with
screws from the inside.
6.6.2 By screwing the front fascia fittings into the worktop you pull the front fascia upward.
Finally tighten the screws on the side of the support arm.
6.7 Mounting the side fascia
6.7.1 Furniture fittings are provided with the frame to keep the wooden side fascia up against the
worktop.
6.8 Adjusting the worktop/ support arms
6.8.1 After placing the worktop on the frame you may have to compensate for the weight of the
worktop if the frame is no longer horizontal from the wall to the front fascia.
6.8.2 By means of the two lower screws of each support arm the ”tilting” may be adjusted.
Start by loosening the two screws fastening the support arm to the aluminium profile and
adjust the two lower screws to make the worktop horizontal.
Finally retighten the two upper screws.
Repeat this procedure for the support arms in the middle.
Do not adjust the support arms placed directly above the legs.
6.9 Mounting of distance plates (1cm) for skirting board
* Option
6.19.1 In case of skirting boards, you can use the 1 cm deep distance plate to pack the frame out
from the wall.
6.10 Mounting the flexible water connections and waste hoses
Arrange for the fixed feed pipes on the wall to be pointing down, at a height of max. 30 cm.
This will ensure that the flexible feed pipes will always flex in a neat curve close to the wall
without kinking. A 90 degree valve with a 1/2" exposed thread is recommended.

Side 13
6.10.1 When connecting hot and cold water as well as waste hoses ALWAYS use flexible hoses to
enable the frame to move freely within the height adjustment range (65-95 cm).
The flexible hoses should be fitted so that they may move in an arch parallel with the wall,
but without getting squeezed.
The length of the hoses must suit the fastening and the travel of the frame.
We recommend that water seal and waste pipe be directed backwards towards the wall in
order to obtain optimum space under the table and the sink.
6.11 Adjusting the height of the worktop, by using the Jack-Up unit
6.11.1 Position the Jack-up underneath the frame in the centre position - the top of the Jack-up
fits into the groove of the aluminium bar .
6.11.2 Adjust the Jack-Up so that it bears the weight of the worktop. Loosen the two bolts (see
6.11.3), one on each leg. Adjustment to the desired height can be done by winding the
handle on the Jack-Up.
6.11.3 Fasten the bolt on one side, making sure that the worktop is horizontal before fastening the
second bolt. (If the frame has three legs, three bolts must be fastened)
6.11.4 The inner leg is bevelled so that the upper frame can only move down slowly, as the bolt is
loosened.
6.12 Mounting the supporting feet
* Option
6.12.1 Remove the adjusting screw of the leg.
6.12.2 Fit the foot and the extension to the leg with the screws provided and tighten the screws.
6.13 Mounting the covers for the legs
* Option
6.13.1 Press the covers, consisting of an inside and an outside cover, carefully over the leg.
6.13.2 Lift up the upper/outside cover and press the snap lock into the hole of the leg. It is
important to pull the snap lock completely out prior to mounting. Now press in the snap lock
to lock it.
6.14 Mounting the concealment panels
* Option: Fittings for mounting the concealment panels (panels not supplied by Ropox)
For three-legged frames use two sets of fittings.
6.14.1 Inside/lower concealment panels:
Fasten the Z-fittings to the wall in the middle between the legs. Fit Velcro on the Z-fittings
and the concealment panels.
Also fit Velcro on the legs and the concealment panels. The concealment panels may now
be fitted.
Outside/upper cover plate:
Fit the two angular fittings on the inside of the outside/upper concealment panel. Now fit the
angular fittings on the bottom side of the worktop.

Side 14
6.14.2 Dimension sketch outside/upper concealment panel. The length is identical with the length
of the worktop. The height must be 45 cm.
6.14.3 Dimension sketch inside/lower concealment panel. The length is identical with the length of
the worktop. The height must be 40 cm.
6.14.4 Inside/lower concealment panel (in case of supporting feet). The length is identical with the
length of the worktop. The height must be 40 cm. Cut-out for feet must be 8 cm wide and 3
cm high. The cut-outs of the cover plate must suit the position of the supporting feet.
7. Performance test
After installation and prior to use all functions of Flexi must be tested. The test must be carried out
by competent personnel. Subsequently the test shall be carried out at least once a year:
1. Check that the mounting instructions have been observed.
2. Check that all bolts have been tightened.
3. There must be no load on the frame.
4. There must be nothing preventing the frame from moving freely within the height
adjustment range (65-95 cm).
5. If all these tests are ok, the FlexiBasic is ready for use.
