The new way to work
NOTE: If any box is damaged, photograph the box before opening. If the
delivery person is still on-site, document the damage in accordance with the
delivery person’s procedure.
Open the damaged box and photograph any damaged Altwork components. Open the
remainder of the boxes and inspect all of the parts for damage before starting
assembly.
If any components are damaged, Email pictures of all damaged boxes and
components to Altwork ([email protected]) so
we can send replacement parts.
If there is no apparent damage, assembly can proceed.
Tools & Hardware
The new way to work
Unboxing The Movement Core
REMOVE PLASTIC CLIPS: Place two fingers in the opening of the clips, squeeze and pull. Make sure to save the clips.
OPEN THE BOX: Use the handles and lift the box straight up.
REMOVE CARDBOARD: Remove the cardboard piece by piece (lift straight up).
CUT ZIP TIE: Cut and remove the zip tie. Then remove the final piece of
cardboard.
Unboxing The Movement Core
REMOVE MOVEMENT CORE: Lift the light side of the movement core, then lift the
heavy side.
Then lift the entire movement core up and out of the box.
Make sure to place the movement core on a soft surface.
TAKE EXTRA PRECAUTIONS TO KEEP ALL THE BOXES AND PACKING PIECES IN GOOD
CONDITION IF YOU NEED TO MAKE A RETURN. FULL REFUNDS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR
DAMAGED PRODUCTS.
Movement Core & Base Assembly
Grasp the movement core by the metal tube inside (not the plastic cover) and slide the foam block underneath, so it rests about an inch behind the edge of the plastic cover.
TILT THE BASE: Tilt the base towards the movement core, so the base holes
align with the studs at the bottom of the movement core.
Movement Core & Base Assembly 
CONNECT THE BASE & MOVEMENT CORE: Screw the nuts on with your fingers and use the t-handle wrench to tighten. Tighten the nuts on the base in a diagonal pattern. Make sure you firmly tighten all the nuts 2x.
Tilt the movement core up, so it sits on top of the base.
Seat Assembly
INSTALLATION: Lift the seat and slide it onto the metal post. The person in the front will support the seat’s weight and slowly raise or lower the front of the seat, so the slots in the tube will engage with the post’s teeth. The front person should not press the seat onto the post as their angle will make alignment more difficult. The person behind the seat will support the seat weight on the right side and firmly press the seat straight onto the post. The right hand should be in line with the post and press directly toward the post. This will help the coupling to slip straight on without catching on the sides of the tube.
Lift the seat cushion and screw in the bolt first using your fingers. Then finish screwing in the bolt with the hex key just until the plastic washers are partially compressed.
Shipping Brace Removal
PREPARATION: Remove the nut on the shipping brace closest to the rear of the station, Then remove the nut on the shipping brace closest to the front of the station. Leave both of the bolts in place.
REMOVAL: Put pressure on the arm of the station to help loosen the bolts, then remove the shipping brace.
Backrest Installation
PREPARATION: Place the metal cover over the movement core post. Push down firmly to ensure it is secure. 
INSTALLATION: Then lift the backrest and guide the channel over the movement
core post. Move the backrest forward and back to align the channel on the
post. 
You will know that the post is completely engaged when you can see that the
channel hole and the post hole are aligned. If the seatback plastic has
lowered, you will need to press the bottom of the plastic forward and slide
the plastic to the highest position to get the hole in the plastic aligned
with the bolt hole so you can see inside. TIGHTEN: Insert the bolt into the
post. For the bolt to fully align, the person supporting the weight of the
backrest will need to slowly lift the backrest up and down while the person
with the wrench ensures that the bolt is turning freely. 
INSTALLATION: Once the bolt is tight, use the 3/8″ hex key handle to tighten fully. Push down until the aluminum handle begins to bend or breaks off completely.
Install the plastic plug.
Desk Assembly
PREPARATION: Unscrew the desk mount and make sure the washer stack is
present.
Insert the desk mount into the desk arm and screw the knob onto the
shaft.
INSTALLATION: Insert the bolts and position the desk so the bolts line up with
the desired holes. Most users mount the desk using the center two holes. If
the user requires more space, use the holes closest to the desk edge. If the
user needs the desk closer, use the holes farthest from the desk edge.
Screw in the bolts, starting with the bolt closest to the desk arm. Make sure
this bolt is screwed in all the way, then screw in the second bolt. Firmly
tighten both bolts.
Monitor Arm Installation
PREPARATION: Remove the bolt from the monitor arm, then remove the
magnetic disk on the arm’s right side by touching the ¼” hex key to the disk,
then remove the bolt. INSTALLATION: Slide the yoke grooves over the keys on
the monitor arm’s two disks. The monitor arm will slide straight down. If the
monitor arm fits tightly, firmly push down while wiggling side to
side.
POSITION THE CLEVIS: Position the clevis, tilting at a 45° angle toward the
seat when tightening. Insert the bolt and moderately tighten with the ¼” hex
key provided. Then replace the magnetic disk.
Leg Rest Assembly
PREPARATION: Cut the zip tie under the leg rest. Remove the pin on the bar
under the leg rest, then slowly lift the leg rest until you see the first hole
in the bar under the leg rest.
Re-insert the pin. Then remove the cardboard from the ratchet bars under the
leg rest. POSITION LEG REST: Push up on the ratchet bar closest to the seat
with one hand while slowly lifting the leg rest up with the other. Lift the
leg rest until the ratchet bar hits the hinge, then slowly lower the leg rest
back down until the bar catches. To adjust the leg rest, lift each section
until you reach the desired angle.
Cable Installation
CONNECT THE ACTUATOR CORD: Open the cover under the seat, and plug the
actuator cord into the far right port. Route the actuator cord out the right
side of the controller box, as seen in the video, to prevent smashing the
cable. ‘S’ AND ‘D’ CABLES: Plug the ‘S’ and ‘D’ cables into the sockets of the
connector box. (It does not matter what cable goes into which socket.) To
insert the connectors correctly, the slot in the sides of the connectors needs
to be facing up towards the bottom of the seat.
CABLE ROUTING: Route
the AC monitor cord to the power strip. Route the cord through behind the
other wires as shown, and plug it into the power strip.
Cable Installation
TEST THE CIRCUIT BREAKER: Press the blue GFCI button. A green light will come on. Then turn the circuit breaker on by pressing the red button (So the switch lights up indicating power on). Next, press the gray button to reset the GFCI. Finally, press the blue GFCI once more to power on.
Desk Leveling
Before leveling the desk, install your monitor, as the weight of a monitor
will affect the desk’s angle.
POSITION DESK ARM: Squeeze the lever under the desk arm and position the desk
arm about midway out, or three inches.
LEVEL DESK ARM: Raise the desk arm until you hear a click and then push it down firmly until the desk arm is level. Place your level on the desk arm to check for levelness.
DESK LEVELING: Place the level on the desk parallel to the desk arm and push down on the outer edge of the desk.
Desk Leveling | Too Low
Turn the desk over and unplug.
LOOSEN: Loosen the keeper screw farthest from the desk arm by one full turn.
Then loosen the keeper screw closest to the desk arm by one-half turn. Finally
tighten the jackscrew by one-half turn. This will raise the outside edge of
the desk by approximately 3/8″. If less adjustment is needed, try a ¼ turn
instead.
TIGHTEN: Fully tighten the keeper screw closest to the desk arm.
This is critical to do in order. Fully tighten the keeper screw farthest from
the desk arm. Then turn the desk back over and recheck the level.
Each full turn of the jackscrew moves the outside edge of the desk,
approximately ¾ of an inch.
Turn the desk over and unplug.
LOOSEN: Loosen the keeper screw farthest from the desk arm by one full turn.
Then loosen the keeper screw closest to the desk arm by one-half turn. Finally
loosen the jackscrew by one-half turn. This will drop the outside edge of the
desk by approximately 3/8″. If less adjustment is needed, try a ¼ turn
instead.
TIGHTEN: Fully tighten the keeper screw closest to the desk arm.
It is critical that these steps are followed exactly as written.Then fully
tighten the keeper screw farthest from the desk arm. Then turn the desk back
over and recheck the level.
Each full turn of the jackscrew moves the outside edge of the desk,
approximately ¾ of an inch.
