4.2. Assemble the Frame

1. Crossbar Adjustment: Loosen the grub screws on the crossbar ends using the provided hex key. Slide the crossbar ends apart to the desired width, then retighten the grub screws to secure them.
2. Attach Legs:
   • Position the leg with the lifting motor facing inward and the cord away from the frame. Match the two widely spaced holes on the crossbar with the bumps on the leg.
   • Press the leg firmly against the crossbar until flush. Insert and tighten two screws through the crossbar into the leg using the hex key.
   • Repeat for the opposite leg, ensuring the single hole for the sync rod faces inward. Match the four bumps on the leg with the holes on the crossbar, press firmly, and secure with two screws.
3. Attach Side Brackets: Attach the side brackets to the back of each leg. Ensure the cable management channel hole faces the opposite side to the motor. Position the bracket flush against the leg, aligning holes and bumps. Insert and tighten two screws to secure. Repeat for the other side.
4. Position Desktop: Carefully place the desktop with its bottom side facing up. Position the assembled frame onto the desktop, ensuring the gearbox faces the front. The front of the desktop is identified by small pre-drilled holes on either side of the edge.
5. Adjust Frame Width: Slightly loosen the grub screws on the crossbar ends. Adjust the frame width to align the six pre-drilled holes on the desktop with those on the side brackets and center crossbar. Retighten the grub screws.
6. Attach Feet: With the pads facing up, position each foot on top of its respective leg, aligning all four holes. Insert and slightly hand-tighten four screws into the leg. Then, tighten them firmly in a criss-cross pattern to ensure the feet are level. Repeat for the other foot.
7. Install Cable Management Tray (Optional): Align the mounting holes on the hangers with the screw holes on the inside of the cable management tray. Hold the hanger in place, flip the tray over, and insert two screws through the bottom of the tray to attach the hanger securely. Repeat for the opposite hanger.
8. Attach Cable Management Tray to Frame: From the back of the desk, with the tray facing upside down and hangers pointing away, gently lift the frame and slide the cable management tray into place. Position it either in the middle or close to the motor end, ensuring it faces away from the motor side. Tighten the screws on the tray hangers to secure it to the frame.
9. Secure Frame to Desktop: Ensure all holes on the frame align with the holes on the desktop. Insert and tighten all six screws (two in the middle of the frame, two on each side bracket) into the pre-drilled holes to firmly fix the desktop and frame together.
10. Insert Sync Rod: Insert the sync rod into the leg without the motor. Unscrew the nut to loosen the rod and extend it to meet the opposite leg. Match the hex-shaped rod with the hex-shaped opening in the leg (you may need to rotate it to fit). Press it in to secure. Undo the nut on the opposite end of the sync rod to extend it and position it onto the gearbox shaft. Tighten the middle nut on the sync rod to secure its length, then return to tighten the nut at the end of the rod inside the motor.
11. Attach Control Panel: Line up the pre-drilled holes on the desktop with those of the controller. Use two screws to secure the controller in place. It is recommended to leave them slightly loose until the desk is upright for final alignment.
12. Flip the Desk: Carefully flip the desk over. This can be done by one person in stages, ensuring not to lean on the edge with the control panel. Alternatively, seek assistance for this step.
13. Connect Power: Connect the cables from the control panel to the control box, ensuring a tight connection. Then connect the motor to the control panel. Connect the control box to the power lead and plug it into a wall outlet.
