Frequently Asked Questions - WorkFit-DL 48 Ergotron

What is the weight capacity of the WorkFit-DL 48?
The weight capacity for the 48" x 29" worksurface is up to 50 lbs (22.7 kg) including the cable tray. Do not exceed this limit.
How do I adjust the lift strength?
Raise the desk to full height, open the adjustment doors on the back of each leg, and use a 14 mm socket drill or wrench to turn the adjustment bolts. Turn left to decrease tension, right to increase. Adjust both legs equally.
Do I need to remove the stop screws before using the desk?
Yes, remove all 4 stop screws (2 from legs, 2 from brake) before installing equipment. Save them for shipping or storage.
What should I do if the desk is too difficult or too easy to raise?
Adjust the lift strength using the bolts on each leg. Follow the adjustment steps in the manual to match the counterbalance to your equipment weight.
Can I mount accessories on the sides?
Accessories must stay within the footprint of the desk (front and rear). Do not mount past the worksurface edges to avoid tipping.
How much cable slack should I leave?
Leave at least 20 inches (508 mm) of slack in all equipment cables to allow full height motion.
What is the recommended ergonomic setup?
Position the top of the screen slightly below eye level, keyboard at elbow height, and screen about 20 inches (508 mm) from your face. Tilt screen to reduce glare.
Can I adjust the desk while it is tipped over?
No! Only perform adjustments while the desk is upright. Tipping it may cause the lift engine to expand rapidly and cause injury.
How do I prepare the desk for shipping or storage?
First minimize lift tension (turn bolts fully left), lower desk to lowest position, then re-insert all 4 stop screws.
What tools are needed for assembly?
You will need a 14 mm socket drill or wrench, and a screwdriver (likely Phillips). The manual shows using a socket drill for adjustment.
