What is the weight capacity?

The desk supports up to 250 lbs (113.4 kg) evenly distributed. Exceeding this may damage the motor or cause instability.

How do I clean the desk surface?

Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap. Wipe gently and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive pads.

Can I use the desk in a commercial office?

The Elevate II is designed for both home and office use. It meets ANSI/BIFMA standards for durability and safety.

How do I manage cables?

The desk includes a cable tray and grommets. Route cables through the grommets and secure them in the tray to keep them organized and out of the way.

STEP 1 - ATTACH GUSSETS TO TOP

• Lay the worksurface upside down on a cushioned, non-marring surface. Locate the front edge of the table. On Plus tables, the front of the table has a sloping waterfall edge. On the Basic tables, the back edge of the table has the seam where the edgebanding meets.
  ■ Align the Leg Gussets with the holes on the top so the upright flange faces the outside of the table and the tapering end points to the front of the table.
  ■ Attach each gusset to the worksurface with six 1" Button Hd PB Screws (325-5580-00) using the Anthro driver.

STEP 2 - INSTALL LEGS

■ Align one Leg with one Leg Gusset so the cord feeds out of the Leg toward the center of the table. The Leg will rest on top of the Gusset's button-head screws, so it may feel a little wobbly. [A]
■ Slide a Leg Housing over the Leg and down until it covers the Leg Motor and the six screw holes on the housing line up with the six pre-drilled holes on the shelf. [B]
■ Move to the front of the table and attach the front of the Housing to the Leg with two M6-10MM Button Hd Screws (325-5503-00) using the Anthro driver. Tilt the leg slightly to align the holes. [C]
■ Loosely attach the Housing to the shelf with six 1" Button Hd PB Screws (325-5580-00). [D]
■ Attach the side of the Leg to the Leg Gusset with two M6-14 Flat-head Screws (325-5435-00). [E]

■ Repeat for the other Leg and Housing.

STEP 3 - INSTALL THE CROSS PAN

• Align the Cross Pan with the Leg Assemblies so the pair of flanges on the pan line up with the pre-drilled holes on the table. Attach the back of the pan to the top with four 1" Button Hd PB Screws (325-5580-00)
  ■ Attach the front of the pan to the top with three more 1" Button Hd PB Screws (325-5580-00).
  ■ Attach the pan to each Leg Housing with two M6-10MM Button Hd Screws (325-5503-00) using the Anthro driver.
  ■ Tighten all fasteners.

FOR DEEP TABLES, GO TO STEP 4A. FOR SHALLOW TABLES, GO TO STEP 4B.

STEP 4A - INSTALL CONTROL BOX AND KEYPAD - DEEP TABLES

• Align the Control Box with the four pre-drilled holes on the worksurface behind the cross pan so you can see the ports on the Control Box through the openings on the cross pan. On 48" wide tables, the Control Box is installed at the center of the pan. On 60" wide tables (shown), the Control Box is installed either left or right of center.
  ■ Attach the Control Box to the shelf with four 1" Button Hd PB Screws (325-5580-00) using the Anthro driver.
• The keypad is installed at the front of the table, either at the left edge or the right edge. Choose a location, just remember that the table's upside down now, so when you flip the table over, the keypad will be on the opposite side.
• Align the keypad and its slider housing with the four pre-drilled holes at the front of the keyboard surface so the buttons are face-down at the front edge of the keyboard surface and the flat side of the housing is against the shelf. The keypad can also be installed directly to the worksurface without the slider housing, either so it extends in front of the table or so it's set back a bit.
  ■ Using four Phillips Head Screws (325-5370-00), attach the keypad and its housing (if desired) to the front of the worksurface. Install these screws by hand. Too much torque can damage the plastic.
  ■ Go to Step 5.

Keypad and Housing

STEP 4B - INSTALL CONTROL BOX AND KEYPAD - SHALLOW TABLES

• Align the keypad and its slider housing with the four pre-drilled holes at the front of the keyboard surface so the buttons are face-down at the front edge of the keyboard surface and the flat side of the housing is against the shelf. The keypad can also be installed directly to the worksurface without the slider housing, either so it extends in front of the table or so it's set back a bit.
  ■ Using four Phillips Head Screws (325-5370-00), attach the keypad and its housing (if desired) to the front of the worksurface. Install these screws by hand. Too much torque can damage the plastic.
• Align the Control Box with the Cable Tray so the ports face up and the holes on the Control Box line up with the holes on the Cable Tray. The Control Box installs at the center of the tray on the 48w table. The 60w table comes with three installation points (left, center, and right). Attach the box to the tray with four 1/2" Button-head Screws and four Nylock Nuts using your own 3/8" socket (or the 3-way wrench provided) and the smallest hex key (1/8") in your kit.

STEP 5 - INSTALL CABLE TRAY

• Align the Cable Tray with the back of the table so the holes on the threaded posts on the cross pan line up with the holes on the cable tray. Attach the tray to the pan with three Nylock Nuts using your own 3/8" socket or the 3-way wrench provided. (The plastic end of the nut faces up.)
  ■ Connect a 1-meter Control Box Cable to each leg cable, then plug each into a port on the Control Box through the opening in the support pan. Feed extra cable length through an opening in the support pan so it's organized in the Cable Tray.
• Route the Keypad's cable back to the Cross Pan and plug it into the Control Box. Feed extra cable length through an opening in the support pan so it's organized in the Cable Tray.
  ■ Plug the Power Cord into the Control Box.
  ■ Use the provided cable clips to route and organize cords. Install one cable clip next to the Leg Gusset for the Keypad Cord. Install the other clip next to the Cross Pan for the Control Box Cables.

CONGRATULATIONS! YOUR ELEVATE II ASSEMBLY IS COMPLETE!

STEP 6 - INSTALL FEET AND HOME THE LEGS

• Align one foot with each leg so the wheels are at the back. Attach the foot to the leg with four M6x20 Socket-head Screws using the Anthro driver. Repeat for the other foot.
  ■ With the help of another person, carefully rotate the table onto its feet. Plug in the table and use the keypad to move the table all the way down. Release the button and press it again to home the legs so they move in unison.
• Add your equipment and route cords into the cable tray. Carefully move the table through its entire range of motion to be sure that your power and data cables are long enough.

RATINGS

Electrical Rating

■ Voltage rating: 120Vac, 60 Hz. When desk is moving with rated load: 400W. When desk is not moving: less than 100mW.

Temperature Ratings

■ Ambient temperature: 41 degrees F to 140 degrees F. Storage temperature: -4 degrees F to 158 degrees F.
■ Acclimate table to ambient temperature before use.

Load Rating

■ Elevate II has a weight capacity of 150 lbs of distributed load.

Duty Cycle

■ Elevate II has a 10% duty cycle. This provides 6 minutes of movement per hour or two minutes of continuous use at full load. Once the table reaches its duty cycle, the table shuts down to cool; this usually takes about 20 minutes. Duty cycle is reduced when the load exceeds approved weight limit or temperature is outside the stated range.

SAFETY CHECK

• Plug in the table and home the legs. To home the legs, move the table to its lowest position, release the DOWN button, then press and hold the DOWN button for 5 seconds. The table will bump a few times, then rest.
• Raise the table to its highest position. Watch all the cords and cables as the table moves to verify that cords aren't wrapped around anything and that nothing interferes with the movement of the table.
  ■ Every time you add equipment onto the table, route cords into the cable tray. Carefully move the table through its entire range of motion to be sure that your power and data cables are long enough. Check the area around your table for obstructions below, beside, and above the table to be sure there are no collisions.
  ■ Verify that the load is distributed evenly across the table.

MOVING THE TABLE

• Keep your equipment safe: remove equipment from the table before you move it.
  ■ Before moving the table, lower the table all the way down.
  ■ To move the table, lift the surface enough to get the front feet off the ground, and roll it into place.
  ■ Lift (don't roll) the table over thresholds, transitions, or bumps.
