Supporting Structure Height Adjustment
Legs are connected with supporting beams. There is one beam for a single
line of tables while two beams connect back-to-back table structures.
There are three types of beams whose application principles are common to building
support for single-line and back-to-back table assemblies: Standard Beam, Interconnect Beam and Telescopic Beam
STANDARD BEAM
Designed to bridge two or three legs to form support for a single table, or for two
adjacent table assemblies.
INTERCONNECT BEAM
Designed to bridge space between two table assemblies. Because the interconnect
beam is 4” longer than the standard beam, it spreads supporting legs apart so that
they can be shared by adjacent worksurfaces. A typical, multiple surface table run
begins with a standard beam, continues with required number of interconnect beams
and ends with a standard beam at the opposite end of the run.
• Spring 2011
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
To connect a beam to a leg, identify the correct type (Standard or Interconnect) first in accordance with your desired table configuration.
STEP 1: Position beam’s end bracket over leg’s horizontal, rectangular tube.
STEP 2: Space cord bumpers along beam. A 72” beam should have 2
STEP 3: Secure top and bottom bracket ends with two supplied screws.

Sliding Return
Ensure that back-to-back table installation is complete, level and structurally
sound. Installation of Sliding Rail requires a special degree of accuracy of work
surface alignment. Failure to do so may result in binding of the sliding mechanism on the Sliding Rail.
Establish range of the Sliding Return.
STEP 1: Mark a line 3” in from (and parallel with) the front edge of work
surface.
STEP 2: Position the Sliding Rail and secure it with supplied screws. Always proceed from the second hole, leaving the first hole for installation of the Rail stop.
NOTE: the pair of screws provided to secure the rubber rail stops at either
end of the rail are longer than the screws for securing the rail to the work
surface. Do not use these longer screws to secure the rail as the screws may
penetrate through the top of the work surface.
STEP 3: Secure leg support bracket to a leg frame with supplied machine
screws (wide flat allen head).
STEP 4: Place the Sliding Return work surface upside down on a clean surface.

STEP 5: Place eight supplied rubber spacers over pre-drilled holes. If you are
converting an existing Return work surface to a Sliding Return, mark a line 1”
in from (and parallel with) the edge of the Return work surface.
STEP 6: Align supporting brackets with rubber spacers / pre-drilled holes (or
the marked line) and secure both brackets with supplied wood screws.
NOTE: In order to ensure a smooth sliding action, both brackets must be
perfectly perpendicular to the edge of the return work surface.
STEP 7: Slide the two glide blocks with bushings carefully onto the Rail as
illustrated.
STEP 8: This step requires two people:
While the leg supported side of the Return rests on the floor have an assistant
position supporting brackets under sliding glide blocks, align the holes and
gently drive in two machine screws (metric M6 as provided). Do not tighten. In
the same manner secure the second bracket to the second glide block and test
smoothness of the slide. Carefully tighten all four metric screws while repeatedly testing smoothness of the slide. If the return binds on the Sliding Rail, then
your support bracket(s) are not perpendicular to the rail - causing the
glide blocks to jam.
STEP 9: Secure rail stops to both ends of the rail with supplied (longer) srews
to prevent disengagement.
