POLARIZED PLUG INSTRUCTIONS:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, some furnishings have a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) like the plug illustrated in Fig. 1. This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR DOUBLE INSULATED PRODUCTS:

Some products must be grounded. Connect these types of appliances to a properly grounded outlet in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

For products sold in North America and other 120V regions: the product is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit. These products use a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A in Fig. 2. Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.

CABLE MANAGEMENT

When installing equipment, either on the worksurface or below, be sure that the connecting cables are free from obstruction.

WORKSTATION DESIGN TIPS

Ensure that power cords for all accessory items – computer, lights, monitors, etc. – are of sufficient length to reach outlets throughout the range of worksurface height adjustment. Do not subject the cords to any strain while height adjustment is taking place.
Always check for proper operating clearance before placing any item on, above or below the worksurface.
Please use a volt meter to ensure that every outlet into which a height adjustable desk will be connected has 120 volts, plus or minus 10 volts, between the hot and neutral contacts (the parallel openings) BEFORE the height-adjustable desk is plugged in. If this voltage reading is above 130 volts, please contact the building electrician for correcting the building wiring

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

thoroughly cleaned, make sure the lifting columns are fully extended to their maximum height. Also, be sure to inspect cables and lifting columns for damage. Check all connections for both correct function and secure mounting.

Caution: A damp cloth is recommended. To protect the painted surfaces, use a cleanser that is not highly alkaline or acidic. A pH-neutral product is ideal.

Note: Please do not move the desk without help. Refer to the guidelines at the end of the assembly instructions, or contact your facilities group for assistance.
