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.
WARNING: There is a risk of desk failure or electric shock if desk components become wet. If liquid is spilled on any electrical desk component, disconnect the desk from power immediately. Clean up the spill with a dry cloth and plug the desk back into the power outlet.
WARNING: Only plug the desk into a properly grounded 100-240V power outlet. Using a voltage converter is considered improper use and can cause damage to the desk.
WARNING: Do not open or insert any object into the desk legs or control box. Doing so may cause damage and can cause risk of electric shock.
WARNING: Never use the desk if the power cord or plug becomes damaged to avoid risk of fire and/or electric shock. Contact UPLIFT Desk for a replacement power cord if it is damaged in any way.
WARNING: Persons with limited mental or physical capabilities who are unable to comprehend the safe operation of the height adjustability feature must not operate the desk.
WARNING: Inspect the desk regularly and stop using immediately if you notice damaged or loose parts. Only replace damaged desk parts with authorized UPLIFT Desk parts.

Assembly Instructions
The following steps detail how to assemble the C-Frame desk. For T-Frame assembly or using your own desktop, please refer to the specific instructions available via QR codes or online.
Step 1 - Inventory of Parts
Before discarding any packaging, lay out all parts and verify that every item listed in the package contents is present. If a part seems to be missing, check all boxes carefully. If still missing, contact UPLIFT Desk support at (800) 349-3839 or support@upliftdesk.com before starting assembly.
Step 2 - Attach Crossbar Ends to Desktop
Place the desktop on a clean surface with the mounting holes facing upward. Position the Crossbar End and Crossbar Rail assembly on the desktop approximately where shown. The Control Box can be positioned on either the left or right side.
Loosen Set Screws indicated by arrows using the Allen Wrench. Slide the Crossbar Ends apart and align the oval holes with the "C-frame crossbar end holes" shown on the Desktop Hole Layout (refer to page 4). Partially insert a #10-24 x 5/8" Screw in each hole with a Phillips screwdriver. Do NOT tighten these screws yet.
Step 3 - Attach Legs
Insert a Leg into the slots of each Crossbar End as shown. If needed, slide Crossbar Rails toward the middle so they don't block the Crossbar End slots.
Step 4 - Attach Side Brackets to Legs
Place the left and right Side Brackets as shown. Align Side Bracket screws with Leg holes and insert using the Allen Wrench. Make sure these screws are tight!
Step 5 - Attach Side Brackets to Desktop
Align oval holes in Side Brackets with the "Side bracket holes" shown on the Desktop Hole Layout (refer to page 4). Use a Phillips screwdriver to insert a #10-24 x 5/8" Screw into each hole. Make sure these screws are tight!
Step 6 - 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 #10-24 x 5/8" Screws indicated by the arrows.
Step 7 - Attach Feet
Place a Foot on each Leg as shown. Align screws in Feet with Leg holes and insert using the Allen Wrench. Make sure these screws are tight! Ensure the long end of the foot faces toward the front of the desk.
Step 8 - 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, then insert two #10 x 5/8" Wood Screws with a Phillips screwdriver into the "Keypad holes" shown on the Desktop Hole Layout (refer to page 4). Do not overtighten the screws to avoid stripping.
To manage the keypad cable, separate the top and bottom halves of the Keypad Cable Channel. Peel the 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.
Step 9 - 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.
Step 10 - Cable Management
Peel backing off Cable Mounts and press them onto the desktop. Recommended locations are shown. 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.
Step 11 - Optionally Install Casters and/or Other Accessories
To optionally install casters, unscrew leveling glides counterclockwise, then screw in casters clockwise until tight. 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 12 - Install FlexMount Cable Manager
Refer to the separate instructions provided for the FlexMount Cable Manager for installation. Install only the Cable Manager Brackets first, then complete the rest of the assembly steps after the desk is flipped upright.
Step 13 - 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.
Step 14 - Attach Logo Plates
Before attaching Logo Plates, use the Allen Wrench to tighten Side Bracket screws once again. This step is very important, do not skip! Align Logo Plate posts with the holes shown, then press them firmly into the Side Bracket. Repeat on the other side.
Final Setup and Operation
Position Desk
To move the desk to its final location, lift under the Side Brackets (two people recommended). Adjust the leveling glides to accommodate for uneven floors.
Install Grommet Covers
If your desktop includes grommet holes, insert the included Grommet Covers until they are flush with the desktop surface. If you ordered Power Grommets or Storage Grommets, follow the instructions included with those products.
Connect Desk to Power
Plug the Power Cord into a grounded outlet. When connected to power, the Control Box power indicator LED and Keypad displays will illuminate.
