Operating Instructions
The Realspace Magellan desk features a pneumatic lift-assist control for smooth height adjustments.
- Locate the Control: The pneumatic lift control is typically a lever or paddle located underneath the desktop, near the front edge.
- Adjusting Height Upwards: To raise the desk, gently lift the control lever while applying slight upward pressure to the desktop. The pneumatic mechanism will assist in lifting the desk. Release the lever at the desired height.
- Adjusting Height Downwards: To lower the desk, gently lift the control lever while applying slight downward pressure to the desktop. The desk will descend smoothly. Release the lever at the desired height.
- Smooth Operation: For optimal performance, ensure the desk is not overloaded and that the mechanism is allowed to settle after initial assembly.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the desk surface with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the scratch-resistant finish.
- Fastener Checks: Periodically inspect all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability.
- Pneumatic Mechanism: The pneumatic system is generally maintenance-free. Avoid applying lubricants or disassembling the mechanism.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Desk does not adjust smoothly. | New mechanism settling; uneven weight distribution; mechanism obstruction. | Operate the desk through its full height range several times. Ensure weight is evenly distributed. Check for any obstructions. |
| Desk wobbles at higher heights. | Loose fasteners; uneven floor surface; inherent movement on carpet. | Ensure all assembly fasteners are securely tightened. Use shims if the floor is uneven. Consider placing the desk against a wall or using a heavier monitor base if using monitor arms. |
| Desk does not stay at desired height. | Pneumatic mechanism issue; overload. | Ensure the desk is not exceeding its weight capacity. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
