1. SAFETY AND WARNINGS
• Inappropriate use of this product may cause property or bodily injury.
• Check surroundings on all sides before using the desk. Body parts and property
can be crushed if trapped between an immobile obstacle and the desk’s range of motion.
• Ensure the length of power cords are accounted for when operating the desk. Monitors,
computers, speakers, anything with a cord that is not long enough for the desk’s range
of motion could be pulled down or have its wires broken. Items pulled off the desk
may cause other items to fall.
• Please provide this operation to any users, installers, or support personnel operating
the product.
2. USAGE
This height adjustable desk has an electric motor and is designed for use in dry work areas only.
The desk height is adjustable so that it can be positioned at the most ergonomically suitable height. These
desks are designed only for the purposes included in this manual. They should not be used
in environments with high humidity or dampness. Any other use is at user’s risk.
Do not move around, crawl or lie under the desk frame. Do not sit or stand on the desk frame.
Children should never use the desk unless they are supervised by adults.
Liability: Under no circumstances does the manufacturer accept warranty claims or liability claims
for damages caused from improper use or handling of the desk frame other than that which
is described in this operation manual.
3. SETUP AND INSTALLATION
Once the desk has been assembled, adjust the feet so that the desk is level and does not shift its position.
After this, connect the desk to the 110v outlet and the desk is ready for use.
Check that no cables can get jammed.
Choose a placement for the desk that’s a safe distance from window frames, radiators, furniture etc. so
that people do not get stuck or trapped by the desk.
Do not place any objects that are taller than 20” underneath the desk.
After it has been assembled, when moving the desk, DO NOT lift the desk by the desktop. Lifting
this way can stress the fasteners connecting the desk base to the desktop. Lower the desk completely and
lift the desk by grabbing the top of the desk base or by removing the desktop rst.

The UPLIFT Desk 975 has the same base as the UPLIFT 971 but the 975 comes with its own specially-made
desktop. The UPLIFT 975 desktop comes with metal screw inserts, so the included machine screws should

- Turn the assembled Desk Base right-side up.
- Place your Desktop on top of the Desk Base, lining up the threaded metal screw inserts with the holes on
the Desk Base.
- Secure the Desktop to the Desk Base with the six M5x20 machine screws provided. Tighten the screws
with the 4mm Allen wrench provided.
