LEVERLIFT USER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
OPERATE LEVER WITH BOTH HANDS
To raise or lower a LeverLift, grasp with both hands as illustrated and pull up slightly to
release the brake. Once disengaged, the device may be lifted up to raise the height or
allowed to slide down to a lower position. Once the desired height is achieved, release the
handle. Returning the handle to the rested position causes the LeverLift mechanism to
brake immediately and securely.
AVOID PINCH POINTS

LEVERLIFT USER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Continued)
• Do not remove safety and warning labels and stickers from the LeverLift System.
• Always use two hands when lifting or lowering monitors, touch screens or any heavy
component.
• The LeverLift is suitable for use by individuals who have a full range of motion and use
of both hands and both arms and are able to lift 20 lb above the head using both hands
simultaneously. Not all individuals will be able to move components vertically and may
require assistance.
• Maximum payload per LeverLift is 12 lb (5.4 kg).
• All users must receive instruction on the safe and correct, two handed
method of lifting and lowering loaded LeverLift mechanism.
• This product is intended for users age 18 and above.
• This product is intended for indoor use.
• Keep fingers and hands away from pinch points.
ATTENTION:
MAKE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AVAILABLE TO ALL LEVERLIFT OPERATORS.

M-TRACK INSTALLATION AND INSTALLER SAFETY OVERVIEW
• Pre-Installation Preparation:
o Clear installation space of clutter and items that could create a hazardous work area.
o Remove end stops and any other components that are attached to the track.
o Determine the optimal vertical position of the rail and the correct fastener components
for the surface using the tables in Appendix A. Select the appropriate table for
your application.
o It is critical that the dimensions of all LeverLift components and devices be known
and taken into consideration before installation to eliminate interference.
o When mounting any type of wall track to a wall it is always best practice to affix it
into a wood stud or backer. The LeverLift System and M-Track, however, is designed
to work where an immovable support structure is unavailable.
o C
walkways, furniture, fixtures, and electrical panels are some of many potential
obstructions and hazards.
o Make note of wire management needs such as locations of networking ports and
outlets so that device wiring does not cause interference.
heck for operational clearance for all components and users. Doors, adjacent walls,
• Unbacked Sheetrock:
o Sheetrock must be 1/2” or thicker and must be serviceable. The age, condition, and
capacity of the sheetrock must be considered. Inspect fasteners for secureness and
o Snaptoggle® BA-10-24 will be used with 3/16”-24 machine screw fasteners.
o Ensure that sheetrock is correctly attached to the framing/structure with sufficient
fasteners connected at properly spaced intervals.
o Ensure that sheetrock is not warped or bent as it may cause bowing or bending of
the Leverlift track leading to difficult slider use. For minor deviations of flatness
of less than .25” use shims available from Ergomart.
• Sheetrock backed with a thin gage metal stud:
o Sheetrock must be at least 1/2” and serviceable. The age, condition, and capacity
of the sheetrock must be considered. Inspect fasteners for secureness and sheet rock for integrity initially and on a periodic basis once the track has been installed.
o Snaptoggle® brand BA-10-24 will be used with 3/16”-24 machine screw fasteners.
o Ensure that sheetrock is not warped or bent as it may cause bowing or bending of
the Leverlift track leading to difficult slider use. For minor deviations of flatness
of less than .25” use shims available from Ergomart.
sheetrock for integrity initially and on a periodic basis once the track has been
installed.
• Sheetrock that is directly backed with a wood stud:
o Stud must be in good condition.
o Pre-drill fastener locations with 3/32” pilot holes to prevent splitting the stud.
o Ensure that sheetrock is not warped or bent as it may cause bowing or bending of
the Leverlift track leading to difficult slider use. For minor deviations of flatness
of less than .25” use shims available from Ergomart.

M-TRACK INSTALLATION AND INSTALLER SAFETY OVERVIEW (Continued)
• The LeverLift track may be affixed to a variety of additional surfaces including CMU,
metal, masonry bricks, and concrete as well as many piers and poles. Work
with an installation professional or other qualified person to determine the best
attachment method for your specific application.
• Other materials and substrates require specific solutions. Due to the abundance of wall
materials and building methods, Ergomart can only specifically recommend attachment
methods for the above described conditions. In all other instances, determine the correct
fastener for the job and if you are unsure, consult with a professional installer, home
improvement store specialist or engineer. Prior to installation, ensure the surface,
material, structure or member you wish to use for fixing will support the entire payload.
ADDRESSING WALL FLATNESS ISSUES WITH SHIMS
Suitable wall mount locations must be generally flat and uniform surfaces.
Irregularities will hinder the correct installation of the M-Track and result in
difficult operation of LeverLift Sliders. Conditions with irregularities that may or
may not be correctable with shims:
o Wall joints that do not abut flatly and cleanly
o Surfaces that are bowed or warped
o Surfaces that have bulges or crowns
o Sheet rock improperly installed or not attached to stud
o Wall materials or surfaces that are not rigid
• The Leverlift is designed for use with surfaces that are flat over the length of the
mounting area beneath the track. Before purchasing the Leverlift system utilize a straight
edge that spans the intended mounting location. Surfaces with minor depressions or
bumps will require shims. Surfaces with bulges or crowns that are greater than .25” are
not suitable for the LeverLift System. Surfaces with valleys or depressions greater than
.25” are also not suitable for the Leverlift system. Experienced Installers may use various
techniques to correct an irregular surface.
• If you are currently installing your M-Track and have discovered you require shims,
you may fashion shims using poster board and sizing them into 2” x 3.5” pieces and then
stacking them into the appropriate thickness.
LEVERLIFT COMPONENT INSTALLATION SEQUENCE
When installing your M-Track and LeverLift, always ensure the M-Track is properly and
securely attached to the wall before installing any LeverLift or other components. Install
components from the bottom of the track, starting with the item that will ultimately rest
at the top of the track. Ensure sliders with set screws are tightly secured before installing
devices. Begin installing devices with thin clients/CPUs first where applicable, followed by
monitors, wire managers, keyboards, mice, and any other peripherals. Finish your installation by inspecting your components/devices for possible errors during installation. If no
error is found, reattach M-Track end caps.
