ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1 Place the two crossbar ends (C7) for the main desk section upside
down so that the eight (8) machine grub screws (C12) are facing upward as
pictured. The crossbar rails (C8) are located inside the crossbar ends and
will need to be removed.
Use the small hex key (C14) provided to loosen each grub screw on the crossbar
ends and pull apart to full expose the crossbar rails.
Step 2 Place the crossbar end (C7) upside down as pictured and insert the
leg (C1) so that the four (4) holes in the leg line up with the 4 holes on the
crossbar end.
Ensure that the crossbar end is orientated so that the machine grub screws
(C12) face upward when inserting the leg.
Insert four (4) machine screws M6 (C10) and use the large hex key (C14) to
scew in a few turns. Do not tighten completely.
Repeat this step for the second leg and third leg
Step 3 Position the side bracket (C9) against the back of the crossbar
end (C7) so that the four (4) holes in the side bracket line up with the holes
on the crossbar end.
Insert four (4) machine screws M6 (C10) and use the large hex key (C14) to
screw in a few turns. Do not tighten completely.
Start with the two outside screws first.
Repeat this step for the second lega and third leg.
Now tighten all the machine screws M6 from Steps 2 and 3.
Step 4 Place the foot (C6) onto the leg (C1) as shown so that the four
holes in each line up.
Insert four (4) machine screws M6 (C10) and use the large hex key (C14) to
screw in a few turns. Once all four screws have been started, tighten
completely.
Repeat this step for the second foot and third.
Round levelling feet/ studs are attached to each foot to assist with levelling
the desk.
Step 5 Slide the two crossbar rails (C8) into the two crossbar ends (C7)
to connect the frame assembly, for the main desk section.
Ensure the crossbar rails are orientated so the rail cut-outs face inward as
shown.
Step 6 Place the main desktop section upside down on a non-abrasive
surface like a carpet or rug and place the frame on top. Adjust the width of
the frame by pulling the two halves apart to line up with the pre-drilled
holes or threaded screw inserts in the desktop.
Step 7 Your desktop will have pre-drilled holes or threaded screw
inserts, depending on the desktop you have purchased from us.
Desktops with threaded screw inserts: use eight (8) machine screws M6 (C10) to
secure the frame to the desktop.
Desktops with pre-drilled holes: use eight (8) wood screws M5 (C11) to secure
the frame to the desktop.
Insert all screws and tighten loosely. Once all eight screws are in, tighten
the frame to the desktop completely.
If your desktop does not have threaded screw inserts or pre-drilled holes you
will need to pull the frame apart to position each leg assembly close to the
edge of the desk. If you have also purchased the Integrated Cable & Power
Channel you will need to make sure the frame is not too wide to attach the
channel between the side brackets (C9).
To position the frame in this instance we recommend using the guide below to
measure the minimum distance between the edge of your desk and screw holes in
the side brackets.
1200mm length desktop – 25mm
1500mm length desktop – 50mm
1800mm length desktop – 80mm
Use eight (8) wood screws M5 (C11) to secure the frame to the desktop.
Step 8 Use the small hex key (C14) provided to tighten each grub screw on
the crossbar ends (C7) and secure the crossbar rails (C8) in place.
Step 9 Two person lift: with one person on each side of the main desk
section, hold the desk top with one hand and the leg with the other. Carefully
rotate the desk until the feet on the back side of the desk contact the floor.
Ensure the desk is rotated backwards to avoid damage to the front mounted
controller.
Rotate the desk again to sit upright on the floor. Use the levelling studs to
level the desk. Make sure you position the main section of the corner desk in
its allocated spot as moving the fully assembled desk can be difficult.
Step 10 Secure the third and final leg to the return section of your
desktop.
Desktops with threaded screw inserts: use four (4) machine screws M6 (C10) to
secure the frame to the desktop.
Desktops with pre-drilled holes: use four (4) wood screws M5 (C11) to secure
the frame to the desktop.
Step 11 With the main section of the desk in position, insert the three
biscuits joiners (C16) in to the allocated holes on the edge of the desktop,
as shown.
Connect the return of the desk to the main desk section by sliding it into the
three exposed biscuit joints, this should freely support it ready for the next
step.
This will support the return section of the desk to complete step 12.
Step 12 Position yourself underneath the upright and assembled desk.
Insert the three Mitre Bolts (C15) as shown and tighten until secure.
Finger tighten the bolts first before using the spanner to ensure they are
tightened completely.
Note: it is important to check that the main section and the return
section are flush and in line with each other before full tightening.
Step 13 Line up the pre-drilled holes in the desktop with the holes on
the controller (C3) as shown and use two (2) wood screws M5 (C11) to secure
the controller to the desktop.
The controller can be placed anywhere along the front edge of the desk but
there are pre-drilled holes on the left and right sides of the desktop for
ease depending on whether you prefer the controller to be accessible from the
left or right.
Step 14 Position the Control box in between the two Crossbar rails (C8)
so that the attachment guides on the underside of the Control Box line up with
the ‘M’ bracket on the one Crossbar end. Slide the Control box onto the ‘M’
bracket all the way until it is securely in place.
Connect the power cable (C4) and the controller (C3) to the control box (C2) as shown. Use the interconnecting IC 1.3m cables (C5) to connect each leg (C1) to the control box.
Use the adhesive backed cable clips (C13) to tidy the cables and secure to the underside of the desktop so the cables do not hang. If you have the Integrated Cable & Data Channel run the cables through the channel.
Step 12 If you have purchased the Integrated Cable & Power Channel,
secure one end to the side bracket (C9) as shown and extend the width of the
channel to meet the other
side bracket.
Make sure the spring release knob is secrewed into the side bracket securely.
Attach the other end of the channel to the side bracket in the same manner.
Tighten the screw in the centre of the channel to secure the two sides of the channel in place. Cables and wiring can be placed in the Channel.
