Linear TechBench™ Assembly

The following procedure applies to Linear Type A TechBench™ and T echOrganizer Systems
installed with the Laminate Worksurface in widths of 48 inches (121.9 cm), 60 inches (152.4
cm), and 72 inches (198.1.cm).

TechBench™ Adjustable Height

The base height of the TechBench™ Laminate Worksurface can be adjusted by removing the
eight Carriage Bolts along the Lower Side Frames and sliding the Upper Side Frames upward
(to raise) or downward (to lower) the height of the surface. The adjustable range for the
Lower and Upper Side Frame base structure is 30” (76.2 cm) to 35” (89.9 cm). To determine
the full height of the Worksurface, the Side Frame base measurement must be added to one
of the following; either the variable height set for the Leveling Glide Feet, which is between .5
(1.27 cm) to 2.5” (6.35 cm), or the fixed height of 5.625” (14.29 cm) if Casters are installed.

The Worksurface height level range varies slightly depending on whether the
TechBench™ is installed with Leveling Glides or Casters. Leveling Glides have
an adjustable range of .5” (1.27 cm) to 2.5” (6.35 cm). Casters are not
adjustable and have a fixed height of 5.625” (14.287 cm).

A minimum of three people are required to adjust the height of the worksurface
once the Linear TechBench™ and TechOrganizer System are assembled and in
the upright position. Attempting to adjust the height of an upright system without
the assistance of two additional installers may result in serious injury.

NOTE

WARNING

TechBench™ With Leveling Glides Installed

If Leveling Glides are attached to the bottom of the TechBench™, the height of the
Worksurface can be adjusted from a minimum of 30.5” (77.47 cm) to a maximum of 37.5”
(95.25 cm).

The minimum value above is calculated with the Leveling Glide feet fully

NOTE

retracted to a height of .5” (1.27 cm). The maximum value is calculated with the
Leveling Glide feet fully extended to a height of 2.5” (6.35 cm).

TechBench™ With Casters Installed

If Casters are attached to the bottom of the TechBench™, the height of the Worksurface can
be adjusted from a minimum of 35.625” (90.49 cm) to a maximum of 40.625” ( 103.19 cm).

The minimum and maximum values calculated for Caster-attached benches
includes 5.625” (14.29 cm), which is the a fixed height of each Caster.

NOTE

Before starting this procedure, identify/obtain the Worksurface height requirements

NOTE

for the TechBench™ to be assembled. It is much easier to adjust the height of the
Worksurface while the bench is face down on the floor, prior to turning the bench to
an upright position.

NOTE

Throughout the procedure, letter and number callouts within a figure only apply to
the figure in which they appear.

Installation Guide: TechBench™ / TechOrganizer - MN 212001EN r1.0

Step 1: Separate Upper Side Frame from Lower Side Frame

Locate the two Side Frames
within the installation kit.
Separate each Upper Side
Frame (5) from each Lower
Side Frame (4) by removing the
four Carriage Bolts (1),
Washers (2), and Nuts (3), on
both units. See Figure 1.

NOTE

Set the Lower Side Fram es and
hardware aside for r e-assembly
in a later step.

Step 3: Attach Upper Side Frame and Stiffener Assembly to Worksurface

Place Laminate Worksurface Face Down

Using two people, locate the Laminate
Worksurface in the installation kit. Carefully
unpack the W orksurface and place it finished
side down on the em pty carton or on a clea n
carpeted surface.

NOTE

The pre-drilled ho les locate d on the un dersid e
of the Laminate Worksurface should be facing

Secure Side Frames and Stiffeners to Worksurface

Place the Upper Side Frame and
Stiffener assembly (B) on the
underside of the Worksurface (A),
as shown in Figure 4.

Secure Stiffeners to Worksurface

As shown in Figure 7, to attach the
Two Drawer Pedestal (1), turn the
Pedestal upside down and place the
four key-slots in the top surface of the
Pedestal over the four Hanger screws
(A) on the Accessory Bracket (2). To
lock the Pedestal in place, push/slide

Step 5: Determine Worksurface Height and Re-Attach Lower Side Frames

Determine Worksurface Height

Figure 8 shows a view of the TechBench ™, up-side down, with the W orksurface flat on the flo or and
the Lower Side Fram es (2) separated from the Upp er Side Frames (1). As sho wn, when assembled,
the Upper Side Frames (1) slide inside the Lower Side Frames (2) and eight, Carriage Bolts (3),
Washers (4), and Nuts (5) are used to fasten the components together at a specific height.

Figure 8: Determine Worksurface Height

When adjusting the TechBench™ to set the Worksurface height, two factors (measurements ) must be
taken into consideratio n. T he firs t measur em ent (setti ng) is the height of the T echBenc h™ bas e, whic h
includes the Upper and Lower Side Frames along with the thick ness of the Lam inate W orksurface. As
shown in Figure 8, this ranges from 30” (76.2 cm) to 35” (89.9 c m). The second factor (m easurement)
is the height of the adjustable Leveling G lide Feet (range .5 (1.27 cm ) to 2.5” (6.35 cm), or the fixed
height of the Caster Wheels, 5.625” (14.29 cm), depending upon which are installed. To

obtain/achieve the full he ight of the Worksurface, the base measurement must be added to the
height of the Leveling Glides or Casters, depending upon which ones are to be attached.

To secure the base he ight, line up the holes and C arriage Bolts (A) located on the Lower Side Rails
with the d esired holes (items 30-35) on the Upper Side Rails. Once all bo lts are ins erted, sec ure using
the Washers (4) and Nuts (5) provided.

To determine the full height of the Worksurface, the Side Frame measurement,
30” (76.2 cm) to 35” (89.9 cm), must be added to the height set for the Leveling
Glides, .5 (1.27 cm) to 2.5” (6.35 cm), or Coasters, 5.625” (14.29 cm) fixed,

NOTE

depending upon which ones will be installed on the TechBench™.

14

Installation Guide: TechBench™ / TechOrganizer - MN 212001EN r1.0

Re-Attach Lower Side Frames

NOTE

When setting the height, remember to
add the height of the Leveling Glide
Feet, .5” (1.27 cm) to 2.5” (6.35 cm ), or
Coasters, 5.625” (14.29 cm) fixed, to
the base measurement, depending
upon which ones will be installed. For
details, see Determine Worksurface
Height, on page 14.

NOTE

Leveling Glide Feet will be adjusted in
the next step. If Leve ling Glide Fee t are
to remain on the TechBench™ (not
removed), select a measurement for
the Leveling Glide Feet (to be used in
the next step), and add that valu e to the
base measurement when determining
the full height of the Worksurface for
this step.

For Casters, add the fixed value of

5.625” ( cm).
As shown in Figure 9, re-attach the

Lower Side Frames (1) to the Upper
Side Frames (2) using the eight
Carriage Bolts (3), Washers (4), and
Nuts (5) removed in Step 1.

Step 9: Turn the TechBench™ Upright

WARNING

To avoid injury, it is recommended that
two or more installers work together to
turn the TechBench™ upright.

As shown in Figure 15, turn the
TechBench™ upright so it is resting on
either the Casters or Leveling Glides.

NOTE

If Casters were installed on the
TechBench™, there is no need for
leveling. GO TO Step 10: Attach

device on the Worksurface (A) and level
the Worksurface by adjusting the height
of the four Leveling Glides (1).

Step 10: Attach TechOrganizer to Worksurface (optional)

As shown in Figure 16, position the
TechOrganizer (1) along the rear of the
Worksurface (2).

Adjust the rear edge of the TechOrganizer
(1) so that it is .2” (5.08 mm) from the rear
edge of the Worksurface (A).

Using a plastic mallet, tap the en ds of the
TechOrganizer frame to ensure both feet
and frame are at a 90° a ngle in reference
to the corner of the Worksurface.

Using the holes along the frame bottom
crossbar (B) and both feet (C) as a
template, drill holes .113” (2.97 mm) in
diameter and .5” (12.7 mm) deep.

NOTE

Use a 7/64 drill bit to drill holes.

NOTE

It may be easier to m ark all drill loc ations
first, using the TechOrganizer as the
template, then rem ove the TechOrganizer,
drill the holes, and reposition the
TechOrganizer back along the
Worksurface edge.

Once all holes are drilled and the
TechOrganizer is repositioned, attach the
TechOrganizer bottom frame to the
Worksurface using four , #10 – 2 1/4” Long,
Phillips Flat Head, Self-Tapping screws
(4). Attach both feet to the Worksurface
using four (two per side), #10 - 3/4” Long,
Phillips Pan Head, Self-Tapping screws
(3).
