Read all instructions before using (this furnishing).
DANGER - To reduce the risk of electric shock:
1. Always unplug this furnishing from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons:
1. Always unplug this furnishing from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
2. Close supervision is necessary when this furnishing is used by, or near children, invalids, or disabled persons.
3. Use this table only for its intended use as described in these instructions. Do not use attachments not

4. Never operate this table if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped or
damaged, or dropped into water.
5. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
6. Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
7. Do not use outdoors.
8. Do not operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is being administered.
9. For loading always put heavier items at the bottom and not near the top in order to help prevent the possibility
of the furnishing tipping over.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
The power socket/outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - Please refer to the attached Installation Instructions and the provided User Guide.
USER-MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS - The receptacle power block is equipped with a circuit breaker that will shut
off power in an overload condition. Press to reset the circuit breaker to restore power.
POLARIZED PLUG INSTRUCTIONS (Series 8 only) - To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this furnishing has a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) like the plug illustrated in Figure 1. This plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electricial to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS (Series 5 only) - This product must be grounded. Connect this appliance to a properly
grounded outlet only. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with
a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the product - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in
sketch A in Figure 2. Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.
No adapter should be used with this product.

• Sweep the floor! Screws and small parts can damage
the worksurface.
• Put down a CLEAN shipping blanket to protect the worksurfaces.
Unpack the worksurfaces and place on the shipping blanket upsid e-down.
2
• REMEMBER - You're looking at the UNDERSIDE of the worksurfaces.
Are you sure which side is left or right and front or rear?

Locate and install each mounting plate
using 5mm (for Series 5) or 6mm (for
Series 8) hex head fasteners provided.
Do not over-tighten.

Series 5 Table Assembly
Determine Switch Position on your Table
• The switch can be located on either on either side of your table,
but the switch comes with a short cable to minimize clutter. So,
be sure to always locate the master motor near the switch loc ation.
NOTE: It does not matter which side of the table the master or
slave motor goes on.

Identify the Master and Slave Motors
The master motor and slave motor look the same,
except for the connection panel at the back.
NOTE: The power supply converts 120V AC
from the wall outlet to 24V DC. The series 5
motors operate on 24V DC.

IMPORTANT! The master motor has one other key difference.
It also has a hidden kill switch. This kill switch is inside the
front mounting hole. If the front mounting bolt is not properly
installed, the table will not operate!

Series 5 Table Assembly (cont.)
Installing Driveshafts
Driveshafts are retained using cap nuts, which
grip the driveshaft ends and prevent them from
backing out of the lifting columns.
Tables require one cap nut mounted outside of
each lifting column. The driveshaft assembly is
thus retained in both directions.
Place cap nut on a flat, hard surface and push
1
driveshaft into it.
With lifting columns pushed all the way down, feed
2
driveshaft through each lifting column, from outside,
until cap nut bottoms out on each lifting column.

Installing Driveshafts (cont.)
Determine on which side of the table
3
each motor will go. (see page 16)
Install M6 x 80 bolts & M6 nuts to
each motor as shown.
Driveshafts and Lifting Column Synchronization
4
Series 5 lifting columns and motors must be synchronized
before installing the driveshafts.
Series 5 motors are shipped from the factory in the
"all the way down" position.
Before inserting the driveshafts, ensure ALL
LIFTING COLUMNS are pushed all the way down
(fully compressed).
Insert the exposed stud from each motor
5
into the side mounting slot of the outboard
leg mounting plates.
Example: Master motor and switch
on user's right-hand side.

Installing Driveshafts (cont.)
Insert hex shafts into driveshaft tube.
6a
If the hexagon openings are not perfectly aligned,
6b
rotate the motor up and down to align the hex
shaft with the driveshaft tube, until the driveshaft
slides through with ease.
NOTE: DO NOT pound the hex shafts through with a
hammer. This will mushroom the end of the hex shaft.
Ensure all driveshafts are inserted into driveshaft
6c
tubes. Tighten set screws very tightly with
a 3mm hex wrench.
NOTE: DO NOT overtighten the set screws.
Overtightening can strip the threads in the
driveshaft tube.
