Safety and Warnings
- WARNING: Read all instructions before assembly. Failure to assemble or operate the desk properly may result in damage or personal injury. Retain this manual for future reference or new owners.
- WARNING: Keep fingers and body parts clear of the moving desk. Check the desk's surroundings on all sides before raising or lowering the desk to ensure there are no obstacles that can cause damage or personal injury.
- WARNING: Ensure all desk and accessory cords have enough slack so they don't pull as the desk moves up and down.
- WARNING: Keep children away from the desk unless supervised. Misuse of the desk can cause personal injury. If children cannot be supervised at all times, use the desk keypad's safety lock feature or remove the power cord to prevent operation.
- WARNING: Risk of serious injury or death. Adjusting the height of the desk could pinch or crush body parts trapped between the desktop, frame, or accessories and the floor or any stationary objects under the desk. Ensure that any body part under the desk or accessories are removed from any pinch or crush zones prior to moving the desk.
- WARNING: Be sure there is a gap of at least 1" between the moving parts of the standing desk and objects located adjacent to it to avoid pinching and crushing hazards. Move the desk through its full range of motion to ensure a gap of 1" or more is maintained around the perimeter of the desk.
- WARNING: The desk is designed for indoor use only. Use of desk outdoors or in damp locations can damage the desk and can cause risk of electric shock and/or fire.

Assembly Instructions
The desk featured is the T-Frame model. The following steps detail how to assemble a T-Frame desk. For C-Frame desks or custom desktops, refer to specific instructions.
Diagram of the underside of a desktop showing hole locations: 'Cable manager holes', 'Grommet holes' (not on all desktops), 'C-frame crossbar end holes' (not on all desktops), 'Side bracket holes', and 'Keypad holes'. The diagram distinguishes between the 'Back of desk' and 'Front of desk'.
Step 1 - Inventory of Parts
Before discarding packaging, lay out all parts from each box and verify that every item listed in the package contents is present. If a part seems to be missing, check boxes carefully. If confirmed missing, contact UPLIFT Desk at (800) 349-3839 or support@upliftdesk.com before starting assembly.
Note: Leave pre-assembled parts as shipped.
Step 2 - Attach Crossbar Ends to Desktop
Place the desktop on a clean surface with mounting holes facing upward. Position the Crossbar End and Crossbar Rail assembly on the desktop approximately where shown.
Note: The Control Box side can be positioned on either the left or right.
Diagram showing the desktop placed upside down, with the Crossbar End and Crossbar Rail assembly positioned on it. The Control Box is shown.
Loosen Set Screws indicated by arrows with the Allen Wrench.
Refer to the Desktop Hole Layout to determine if your desktop includes "T-frame crossbar end holes".
Option 1: Desktop includes "T-frame crossbar end holes":
Slide the Crossbar Ends apart and align the oval holes with the "T-frame crossbar end holes" shown on the Desktop Hole Layout. Partially insert a #10-24 x 5/8" Screw in each hole with a Phillips screwdriver. Do NOT tighten these screws yet. Continue to Step 3.
Option 2: Desktop does NOT include "T-frame crossbar end holes":
Slide the Crossbar Ends apart so that the outside ends are near the sides of the desktop. Pre-drilled holes will be made in a later step. Continue to Step 3.
Step 3 - Attach Legs
Insert a Leg into the slots of each Crossbar End as shown. See C-frame animation ▶️.
Note: If needed, slide Crossbar Rails toward the middle so they don't block the Crossbar End slots.
Diagram showing a Leg being inserted into the Crossbar End.
Step 4 - Attach Side Brackets to Legs
Place the Side Brackets as shown. Align Side Bracket screws with Leg holes and insert with the Allen Wrench. Make sure these screws are tight! See C-frame animation ▶️.
Diagram showing Side Brackets being attached to the Legs.
Step 5 - Attach Side Brackets to Desktop
Align oval holes in Side Brackets with the "Side bracket holes" shown on the Desktop Hole Layout. For T-frame desks, the middle Side Bracket holes on the desktop are obstructed by the Legs and are not used.
Use a Phillips screwdriver to insert a #10-24 x 5/8" Screw into each hole. Make sure these screws are tight! See C-frame animation ▶️.
Diagram showing Side Brackets being attached to the desktop.
Step 6 - Pre-drill Crossbar End Holes (if needed)
If your desktop includes "T-frame crossbar end holes", continue to Step 7. If not, follow these steps to create pre-drilled holes.
You will need a drill and a 1/8" diameter drill bit. IMPORTANT: DRILL NO DEEPER THAN 1/2" to avoid drilling through your desktop. To ensure this, wrap a piece of tape around your drill bit 1/2" from the tip.
Diagram showing a drill bit with tape at the 1/2 inch mark, and an 'X' indicating not to drill deeper.
Drill a hole in the center of the oval hole in each Crossbar End. Stop drilling just before the tape touches the Crossbar End.
Insert a #10 x 5/8" Wood Screw in each hole with a Phillips screwdriver.
Step 7 - Center Crossbar Rails
Center the Crossbar Rails between the Crossbar Ends using the indicator marks. Tighten the eight M10 x 8 Set Screws and the two #10 x 5/8" Screws indicated by the arrows. See C-frame animation ▶️.
Diagram showing how to center the Crossbar Rails and tighten screws.
Step 8 - Attach Feet
Place a Foot on each Leg as shown. Align screws in Feet with Leg holes and insert with the Allen Wrench. Make sure these screws are tight! See C-frame animation ▶️.
Diagram showing Feet being attached to the Legs.
Step 9 - Attach Keypad
The Keypad can be attached to either the right or left side of the desktop (right side is most popular). Choose a side and insert two #10 x 5/8" Wood Screws with a Phillips screwdriver into the "Keypad holes" shown on the Desktop Hole Layout. Do not overtighten the screws to avoid stripping. See C-frame animation ▶️.
Diagram showing the Keypad being attached to the desktop.
Separate the top and bottom halves of the Keypad Cable Channel. Peel backing off the bottom half and press it onto the desktop about 3" to 4" behind the Keypad. Route the Keypad cable through the bottom half and reattach the top. See C-frame animation ▶️.
Diagram showing the Keypad Cable Channel installation.
Step 10 - Connect Cables
Note: Keypad and Control Box may be on opposite sides of the desk when assembled.
- Connect the Power Cable to the AC port on the Control Box.
- Connect the cable from the Leg closest to the Control Box to the M1 port.
- Connect the cable from the opposite Leg to the Leg Extension Cable, which is pre-connected to the M2 port.
- Connect the Keypad cable to the HS port.
Diagram showing the Control Box with labeled ports (AC, DC, M1, HS, F, M2) and numbered arrows indicating cable connections.
Step 11 - Cable Management
Peel backing off Cable Mounts and press them onto the desktop. Recommended locations are shown with dots. Thread a Hook & Loop Strip through the Cable Mount, bundle cables, and secure. Hook & Loop Strips can also be used without Cable Mounts by sliding them under or through the Crossbar Rails. See C-frame animation ▶️.

Step 12 - Optionally Install Casters and/or Other Accessories
To optionally install casters, unscrew leveling glides counterclockwise, then screw in casters clockwise until tight.
Note: Before flipping the desk over, install any other accessories that attach to the desk frame or bottom of the desktop, such as desk drawers, keyboard trays, CPU holders, and surge protectors.

Step 13 - Install FlexMount Cable Manager
Refer to the separate instructions provided for the FlexMount Cable Manager for installation.
Note: Install only the Cable Manager Brackets first, then complete assembly steps after the desk is flipped upright.
Diagram showing Cable Manager Brackets.
Step 14 - Flip Desk Over (two people recommended)
Caution: Be aware of cables and attached accessories as you flip the desk over.
Gradually lift the front of the desk until the back of the Feet rest on the floor, then adjust your grip and rotate the desk upright. See C-frame animation ▶️.
Diagram showing two people flipping the desk.
Step 15 - Attach Logo Plates
Before attaching Logo Plates, use the Allen Wrench to tighten Side Bracket screws once again. Align Logo Plate posts with the holes shown, then press them firmly into the Side Bracket. Repeat on the other side. See C-frame animation ▶️.
Diagram showing Logo Plates being attached.
Operation and Features
