The column glide should only be threaded half way into the column, while the outrigger glides should be threaded into the outriggers their full length. Install outriggers by inserting the tongues of the outrigger into the center slot or Macro slot of the column. Secure with clevis pins through the tongues of the outrigger, then insert the retainer through the hole in the clevis pin. Outriggers must be positioned as shown below to ensure correct alignment of the in-line system as well as correct alignment for footrest mounting. Single Station Assembly Stabilizer panels are mounted between the columns with "T" bolts. Usually these are mounted through the second, fourth, and ninth holes from the bottom of the columns. The access slot in the stabilizer channel should be positioned over the third hole from the bottom of the column to provide access to the outrigger clevis pin and retainer. Mount the stabilizer using the 1/4-20 x 2" "T" bolts, 1/4" washers, and 1/4-20 wing nuts provided. In-line Assembly Begin by assembling all columns and outriggers. Then assemble the first column and stabilizer in the manner described previously. The middle column will have two stabilizers mounted to it. Therefore you must bolt through the column and both stabilizers. This procedure is repeated for each successive workstation. At the last column of your in-line station ensure the "T" bolt is facing the stabilizer panel. Alignment Alignment of the system is necessary at this point. The columns must be both vertically and horizontally aligned. This can be accomplished by using a level, and adjusting the glides. Floor glides must be adjusted so that each column supports equal weight. NOTE: Alignment should be re-checked after accessories are installed. Worksurface Assembly Place the worksurface face down on a smooth surface to prevent damage. Place the worksurface brackets and support beams in their proper locations as shown below. Install the four 1/4-20 x 1" machines screws provided and tighten once all are in place. NOTE: If you have drawers on your system now is the time to hang them. (See drawer mounting instructions). Square Corner Worksurface This worksurface assembly requires it's own 36" module (starter or adder) and support brackets as shown. Two pair of worksurface support brackets are supplied. (Only three brackets are actually required). Place the worksurface in the desired location and fasten the support brackets using the six 1/4"-20 x 3/4" machine screws provided and tighten once all are in place. Rear Corner Leg Support This worksurface is mounted using one pair of worksurface support brackets. Place the worksurface on the brackets. Adjust the height of the leg relative to the worksurface by unfastening the screw at the bottom of the leg assembly and sliding the inner tube up or down as required. Line up the threaded insert and fasten. Fine adjustments can be done with the leveling glide. Now slide the rear leg to the back corner of the worksurface approximately 2" from either side and fasten to the worksurface using the wood screws provided. Round Corner or Straight Back Corner Worksurface These worksurfaces are mounted between two 900 adjacent modules. They require one pair of worksurface support brackets. Place the worksurface in the desired location and fasten the support brackets using the four 1/4"-20 x 3/4" machine screws provided and tighten once all are in place. Drawer, Tote Box & CPU Holder Mounting Drawers and Tote Boxes are mounted using two steel strip drawer hangers which slide inside the worksurface support beams. Drawers should be installed before the worksurface assembly is mounted on the system. If the worksurface assembly is already in place, it should be removed for drawer installation. The worksurface is placed face down with one worksurface support bracket and two support beams loosely fastened to the top. For ease of assembly the drawers can be removed by releasing the disconnects on both sides of the slides and pulling the drawer forward to separate the slides. Fasten the two hangers (threaded inserts facing away from the drawer housing), loosely to the housing using the four 1/4"-20 x 1" machine screws provided. Slide the drawer hangers into the open end of the worksurface support beams. Install the remaining worksurface support bracket and tighten all hardware. Upright Trim Mount the two trim strips provided with a starter assembly one on each end of assembled system, by aligning trim with top of column and pressing it into place down the length of the column. Inside trim should be installed after light placement (so the power cord may be concealed between the trim and column), but before other accessories. Parabolic The 36" and 48" parabolics are installed using the two cap screws provided. The 60" & 72" parabolics are installed by first putting the end plates in place, by inserting it into the extruded slot of the light fixture. With both end plates in place, the parabolic may then be installed using the two cap screws provided. Fluorescent Fixture Remove the screws from the top of the light housing. Places the brackets as shown below and replace the screws. Mount the assembly at the desired height of the column. Ensure the brackets are properly seated by lifting the front edge of the light until the brackets fall into there seated position. Route the power cord down the inside of the column and cover with accent trim. Light Trim Start installing at one end of the light. The light trim will fit snugly around the front edge of the light housing. With one end in place, slide your hand along the length of the trim, pushing it onto the light housing. Tool Trolley Track Power Beam Mounts to light brackets, with or without light. Can Power Beams are installed by hooking the brackets be mounted in front of or behind light. Install one of into the micro slots. Hook the cord end in first then the screws and square nuts provided. Slide tool the opposite end. trolley inside the track. Install the screw and nut at the other end of the track. Parts Bin Rail Parts Bin Rails accept industries standard bins and are available in 2", 4" and 6" depths for tiered arrangements. Position as required in micro slots. For large heavy bins install a second rail below for Micro Slot Accessories support. Parts bin rails may be grounded by installing a ground lead (not supplied) with a screw Accessory Cabinet, Tool Box, Shirley Bin, Sloping through the hole in either end of the bin rail and Document Shelf, to name a few, can be mounted at connect to earth ground. any desired height along the column. Modesty Panel Modesty Panels are hooked into the micro slots at any convenient point on the column. Install both sides of the panel at the same time. Push the panel down to lock it in place. Parts Bin Rail Accessories Tool Holder, Bottle Holder, Wipes Holder, and Solder Spool Holder. These hang anywhere along the length of the parts bin rail. Air Beam Air beams are provided with two or three receptacles for 1/4" NPT quick connects. Any receptacles not used with quick connects must be plugged. Each end of the air beam is equipped with a quick connect fitting for 1/4" tube. This allows air beams to be connected in line. You can remove or install the red blanking plug as shown below. Either tubing or blanking plug must be in place to prevent pressure loss. 18" of 1/4" tube supplied. Open Wire Shelf Position macro brackets in the column at the desired height, with the offset of the brackets facing inwards. Mount the shelf onto the brackets with the wire securely in the slots of the brackets. Shelves may be installed with the lip edges facing up or down. Be sure brackets are properly seated in the columns before loading the shelf. Quick Connect Fitting Push collar in, at the same time, pull out plug or tubing. Swing Arm System The 8420 and 8423 universal brackets are used to support the swing arm system. The 8420 bracket is installed at the desired height in the macro slot of the column. To prevent the bracket from being accidentally dislodged, a pin is provided that should be inserted through the holes in the embossed side of the bracket and into the column. The 8423 bracket is installed at the desired height on the side of the column, using the three 1/4"-20 x 1 3/8" bolts, washers and lock nuts provided. Steel Shelf This shelf can be mounted in the macro slots anywhere along the height of the column on 3" increments. The slope of the shelf is adjustable to 00, 150, or 300. The shelf may be grounded by installing a grounding lead (not supplied) with a screw through the hole at either end of the shelf and connect to earth ground. Grounding Static Protected Worksurfaces In order to prevent a possible electrical shock hazard to personnel, the static protected laminate should not be directly connected to ground at any point. Recommended grounding procedures suggest installing an in-line 1 MEG OHM current limiting resistor between the static protected laminate and the ground. Electrical (Hydro) grounding circuits may not be at actual ground potential. It is recommended that a separate ground circuit be installed for the static protected worksurface. If your worksurface was not supplied with a factory drilled grounding location, use a 7/32" drill bit to drill into the worksurface in the desired location ensuring that no structure will obstruct the bolt. IT IS IMPORTANT TO USE THE CORRECT SIZE DRILL BIT TO ENSURE PROPER CONTACT WITH THE CONDUCTIVE LAYER. Install the brass ground bolt. Lightly hammer the knurl into the worksurface until the bottom of the bolt head is flush with the laminate. Install washer, brass nut, ground lead, and brass nut as shown. Do not over tighten the nut, snug ...
