Assembly and Mounting – Things to Think About First
SAFETY NOTICE:

For proper support, the Lift System MUST NOT be attached to any material that is less than ¾” thick. This
applies to BOTH the back and bottom mounting points.

The Lift Column is ONLY designed and rated for VERTICAL, NON-INVERTED USE. DO NOT MOUNT THIS
LIFT SYSTEM UPSIDE DOWN or SIDEWAYS (HORIZONTALLY, AS IN A LATERAL MOUNT)!
Space requirements for the L-45en Lift System are as follows:
Interior Box Depth = TV Depth + 5”, or 6.5”, whichever is greater.
Interior Box Height = TV Height
+
“1, Not to Exceed 35” (Exterior Height not to exceed 35.5).
Interior Box Width = TV Width + 1”.
Interior Cabinet Depth = Interior Box Depth + 2.375” or 11.25”, whichever is greater.
Interior Cabinet Height = Box 2.5”, Not to exceed 37”
Interior Cabinet Width = Exterior Box Width plus 1”
Lid Depth = Interior Box Depth +Back Panel Thi1.25” or 8.75 whichever is greater.
Lid Width = Exterior Box Width +1”
IMPORTANT NOTE: The TV must be mounted as high up as possible inside the cabinet, so that when the Lift is in
the fully “DOWN” position (fully retracted), the top of the TV will be just underneath the lid of the cabinet.
About the Cabinet Lid (Cabinet Top)
SAFETY NOTICE:

WARNING! YOU MUST NOT DIRECTLY SCREW THE CABINET LID (TOP) TO THE LIFT SYSTEM!! THIS
CREATES HAZARDOUS “PINCH POINTS” AND MAY AFFECT THE OPERATION OF THE LIFT OR CAUSE DAMAGE TO
THE CABINET TOP.

For floating lids, DO NOT USE SCREWS to attach the lid to the Lift System . Instead, use the “Threaded
Taper Pins”. This will keep the lid firmly in place, but will also allow it to separate from the lift system if anything
(like a finger) gets in the way when the TV lowers
.
Which Lid Style Will You Use? (There are 3 Different Styles)
Floating Lid (Floating Top) – The whole top of the cabinet sits on top of the Lift System and raises/lowers with the TV.
This is the standard Installation method, using the Top Plate (part #8) and Threaded Taper Pins.
Cut-Out Floating Lid (Top)
– You will “cut out” part of your cabinet top, customizing it to the size of your TV. That cut-out
lid then sits on top of the Lift System and raises/lowers with the TV. This method uses the Top Plate (part #8) and
Threaded Taper Pins (Part #20), but you must set up a “catch” for the cut-out lid so that when the TV lowers, the lid stops
level with the rest of your cabinet top (like a manhole cover).
Hinged-Lid (Hinged-Top)
– Not Compatible with the L-45en Lift System.
