Operating Instructions

Height Adjustment

The cart features an adjustable tabletop height and monitor mount height for ergonomic positioning.

1. To Raise the Desk: Remove any loose objects from the desk. Loosen the hand knobs on the back of both columns. Place your foot on the base shelf and lift with two hands, one on each end of the desk. Lift past each click until the desired height is reached. Do not raise past the "Max" marking on the inside column. Tighten the hand knobs back down to secure the height.
2. To Lower the Desk: Hold the desk in the same way as raising it. Lift it past the "Max" marking on the inside column until it passes the marking for "Down". Do not let go of the desk as the internal latch has been released and the desk may fall. Lower the desk slowly until it reaches the lowest level and you hear a click. Tighten the hand knobs back down.

Monitor Adjustment

The monitor mounts offer full motion capabilities for optimal viewing.

• Tilt Adjustment: The viewing angle can be adjusted in the range of +45° to -45°. Loosen the side bolt on the VESA plate, adjust to the desired viewing angle, and then tighten the bolt again to secure.
• Level Adjustment: Adjust the level of the screens by tightening or loosening the bolt behind the top of the VESA plate to raise or lower the level of the monitors.
• Rotation and Swivel: The screens can be rotated 360 degrees, and each joint can swivel 180 degrees into alternate viewing angles.
