the heights of the legs before
attaching them to the frame
(see next page).
2. Post legs attach in the "A"
position.
3. "L" legs attach in the 24" or
30" position depending on the
depth of the worksurface being
applied.
4. When attaching legs, note
the boss features must match
that of the end support.
5. Tighten log bolt securely
using 3/16" hex drive.
6. Adjust glides (see next

until upper "L" bracket can slide
freely, but DO NOT remove
screws.
2. Position upper "L" bracket
at desired height, and tighten
screws. When the next-up holes
are tangent with the top surface
of the bracket, the receiver
holes for the screws are aligned
with the screws.
TIP: Do not over-tighten set
screws! The aluminum threads
of the bracket may become
stripped. Tighten set screws
with not more than 7-1/2 in-lb
of torque.

Assembling Tether
Brackets to Beam or
Storage Rail
1. Beams and storage rails have
holes on their undersides, for discrete
positioning along their lengths. These
holes are located 1-1/2" apart along
the lengths of the beam and storage
rail.
2. Installing tether brackets:
a) Hook the tether bracket over
the top lip of the beam or
storage rail.
b) Swing the bottom ot the
tether in, and push on the lower
part of the bracket until the
spring pin snaps over the
bottom edge of the beam or
storage rail.
c) Slide the tether bracket
left or right until the spring pin
pops into the appropriate
positioning hole.
3. Removing tether brackets:
a) With a finger or screwdriver tip,
depress either side of the
spring pin lever at the bottom
rear of the bracket to disengage
the spring pin.
b) Rotate bottom of bracket out,
and remove.
NOTE: If tether is in lowest 2
positions, tether will stick down
below the reveal and trap skin on.
Mount skin first, then lower tether
brackets.

Locating Tether Brackets
to the Beam
(Perpendicular Application)
1. Locate the desired position along the beam
for the back edge of the desk.
2. First tether should be 2" from the position to
the edge of the tether. Attach tether to beam.
3. Next tether should be 16-1/2" edge-to-edge
from the first tether. Attach the 2nd tether.

Locating Tether
Brackets
to the Beam
(Parallel Application)
1. Locate the desired
position along the beam for
the edge of the desk.
2. First tether should be 2"
from that position to the
edge of the tether. Attach
tether to beam.
3. Next tether should be 6"
less than the overall width of a
desk (if there is only one (1)
desk in-line).
4. If setting up a benching
application (multiple parallel
mounted desks in a row) and
using a shared thether
bracket, then the next tether
bracket would be 3" less
than the overall width of the
desk.

Attaching Desk to
Tether Brackets
1. Place the understructure
onto the tether brackets.
2. Align mounting holes of
end support with holes in
tethers.
3. Connect together using
two (2) 3/8-16 x 3/4" bolts.
4. Tighten securely using a
