Verify that you have all the hardware and tools needed for the assembly.
Check your cartons against the list on page 2 to verify that you have all the parts needed. You will also need the
following tools:
#2 tip Phillips screwdriver or drill/driver with magnetic-bit
#3 tip Phillips screwdriver or drill/driver with magnetic-bit
5 mm Allen wrench
⅜” ratchet
If you do not have a Workrite worksurface, you will also need a:
Reversible drill/driver with magnetic-bit
⅛” drill bit
3
⁄32” drill bit
Lay Base Assembly (B) on the floor. Remove tape and protective
wrapping on both legs.
Unfold Legs and remove the Cover Plate
Legs are hinged and will fold up to a vertical
position to allow removal of the cover plate.
Access the inside of the Base Assembly by carefully
liing the Cover Plate.
Note: Careful not to bend the corner tabs. You will
need to li the assembly slightly to avoid bending
the tabs. Take caution that the legs don’t fall down
while doing performing this step.

Lock Legs into their vertical position
Use the 5 mm Allen Wrench to install four #M8 × 14 mm Socket Head Leg Screw (F) to the outer leg mounts at the
base of both legs and tighten securely.
Note: You may need to rotate the Counterbalance Adjustment Rod to easily access the holes behind to install
and tighten the screws. See Step 11d for instructions on using the ⅜" Ratchet to rotate the Adjustment Rod.
Use the 5 mm Allen Wrench to tighten the four pre-installed Socket
Head Leg Screws at the inner leg mounts on both legs.
Replace Cover Plate
Li the Base Assembly to align
the cover tabs to the notches in
the top of the frame and place
cover onto base.
Use the eight M4×10 screws (E) to
secure the Cover Plate.

Attach Base to Worksurface
If you have a Workrite worksurface:
Position the Base Assembly (B) to align mounting holes in brackets to holes in the Worksurface (A).
Slide the Top Brackets (D) into the frame and align the holes for the Brackets with the holes in the frame.
Attach Base Assembly to the Worksurface
(A) using the twelve Pan Head Top Screws
(G). A #3 Phillips head magnetic-bit driver
is recommended. Screws pass through
the large holes in the Base Assembly and
attach to the underside. If you use an
electric screwdriver, be sure it is on the
lowest torque setting to avoid stripping the
holes in the top.
Note: A number of screw
locations are located
through pass through
holes where a magnetic
driver head is essential.
Center Base on Worksurface
If you have a Workrite worksurface skip to Step 6
If you do not have a Workrite worksurface:
Align the Base Assembly (B) from the back on the bottom side of your worksurface (A). 24” worksurfaces are 2.8”
from back, 30” worksurfaces are 5.8” from back.
Center the Base Assembly le to right.
Slide the Top Brackets (D) into the frame
and align the holes of the Brackets with the
holes in the frame.
Carefully mark all 12 mounting holes, then
remove the base from the worksurface.
Use ⅛" drill bit to drill pilot holes at
marked locations. Mark your drill bit so
you do not drill any more than ¾" deep
and damage your worksurface top!
Realign the base assembly with the pilot
holes then go to Step 6c
a
Mark your drill bit at
3/4” or use a drill stop
or you may damage
your top!

Attach the Manual Release
Do not remove the safety tag or activate the Manual Release
Trigger. Serious injury or damage may occur!
If you have a Workrite worksurface:
Position the Manual Release over the pilot holes near front edge of worksurface.
If you do not have a Workrite worksurface:
Align the Manual Release so the trigger is ¼" in from the edge of worksurface and the cable loops freely from the
Base Assembly. Mark and pre-drill screw pilot holes into underside of worksurface with 3⁄32" drill bit.
Do not drill any more than ¾" deep and
damage your worksurface top!
Attach Manual Release with the four #8 × ⅝"
Pan Head Screws (H) using the #2 Phillips
head driver.
Attach cable to worksurface with
Cable Loop (I) using the one #8 × ⅝”
Pan Head Screw and a #2 Phillips driver.
DO NOT ACTIVATE MANUAL RELEASE!
Activation of the Manual Release at this
point may result in serious injury or
damage to your workcenter!

Attach Feet
Attach Feet (C) to bottom of legs with #M8 × 16 mm Socket Head Foot Screws (J), using the Allen Wrench and
tighten securely. Be sure the longer end of the foot faces towards the front of the workcenter.

Operate the Counterbalance with the Manual Release
Grasp the edge of the worksurface then carefully pull the Manual Release. With the Manual Release trigger
pulled, pull up or push down on the worksurface to raise or lower your worksurface. The table should raise and
lower easily. You may want to get used to how the counterbalance performs, then add your desktop items. The
table should not “drop” when the Manual Release is triggered. The added weight of your desktop items may
require an adjustment to the counterbalance mechanism.
Flip Table over then remove Safety Pin
Carefully flip the Workcenter
onto its feet.
It is VERY important that the
workcenter is on its feet prior
to performing the next step!
Put a slight bit of pressure on the
worksurface.
Remove the safety pins
on both legs to unlock the
counterbalance mechanism.
Remove the safety tag from the
Manual Release.

Adjust Feet Guides
If necessary, adjust leveling guides on table feet to level the worksurface. Unscrew to increase height, screw in to
decrease height.

✓Cleaning instructions
To clean the Cascade Counterbalance Base, apply non-abrasive cleaner to a so cloth then gently wipe the
worksurface or outside of the legs and feet.
Suggested cleaners: Windex or Formula 409.
Do not use solvents and do not saturate or spray cleaners directly to base.
Do not use grease or clean the counterbalance mechanism with solvents. Never use silicone products on the
legs, as this may cause squeaking.
Adjusting the Counterbalance Mechanism
Depending on the size of your workcenter and the items you place on it,
you may require an adjustment to the counterbalance mechanism to find
a setting that will allow your worksurface to move with minimal human
force.
Load all work items onto the worksurface to have the
actual working weight on the table.
Pull the Counterbalance Trigger to carefully test the
counterbalance setting. With the work items on the
worksurface, you will probably need to adjust the
tension.
Locate the counterbalance adjustment port on the
right side of the Base Assembly.
Using a ⅜" ratchet, crank the counterbalance
adjustment clockwise to ADD tension to
counterbalance MORE weight, or counterclockwise
to counterbalance LESS weight.
Note: It will take 10 to 20 full revolutions to make a
noticeable change in adjustment.
Note: Proper adjustment results in equal user force
to raise or lower the table.
