Panels

PANELS come from the factory with the “Quick Connect” clips pre-installed on both
sides of the panels. One side is pointing up and the other side is pointing down.

UNIVERSAL CORNER POSTS come from the factory with the “Quick Connect”
clips pre-installed on 3 sides. One side is pointing down, and 2 adjacent sides are
pointing up.

Slide connections together, and press fi rmly in place. Do not use hammer to try

to secure panels.

Leveling Tip:

• If panels don’t line up exactly, please lower the glide on the lower panel to level
the panels.

Corner Post Tips:

• Align the “Quick Connect” clips on the fi rst panel of a run so both sides point UP.
This will allow the Corner Post to be dropped onto one side, and the adjacent
panels to also be dropped on. Then the rest of the panels in the run can be easily
dropped onto each other.

• For 2 ways, remove one set of clips by loosening the set screw, and slide up and
out, through the channel. Snap in 2 Post Trim Strips to fi nish 2 open sides.

• For 3-ways, snap in Post Trim Strip to fi nish 4th side.

• For 4-ways, install the clips on the 4th side facing up, so the panel can be
dropped on.

Please contact your Global Contract Service Representative at 416-739-5000 for
any questions or concerns.

engaged inside the panel’s vertical side groove. Install worksurface support on the
opposite side of the worksurface as specifi ed. Rest worksurface on both supports.

STEP 6: Adjust pedestal’s levelers to level the worksurface and ensure that the pedes­tal’s side is perpendicular to the panel.

NOTE: Read before you proceed with the next step! If you use a full depth pedestals
( 24” deep pedestal under 24” deep worksurface) to secure worksurfaces to a panel
with optional Panel cable manager, do not bolt the pedestal to the worksurface yet.
You may have to angle and slide the pedestal partially out in order to gain an access
to the panel’s cable manager. In this case, the following step (#7) should be done at
the end of the installation, after all cables had been tucked away in the Panel cable
manager.

STEP 7: Remove drawers, pre-drill the pedestal top and drive two wood screws
through the pedestal top, into the worksurface. Replace the drawers and secure the
