Work Surface Installation
Principals apply to both AO1 and AO2. Original AO1-style, with retainer strips to locate work surface within cantilever
support arms, show; AO2 utilizes separate ‘button’ and ‘pin’ screws instead.
•
Work surfaces include pilot holes for standard location at each end.
•
Work surface spans should not exceed 48” without proper depth support such as cantilever support arm, clear-access
support panel, C-leg or dual-tube peninsula support leg. Sagging and warping of work surface will occur without a reinforcing
channel attached beneath.
•
Load capacities:
o
Up to, and including, 48”w (24”d, 30”d): 200lbs.
o
Less than, and including, 96”w (25”d, 30”d): 250lbs.
•
Warning: Load capacities, as listed, include the total load of the work surface, including storage components hanging from
the work surface such as pencil drawers and box/file hanging pedestals. Failure to observe the recommend loads and
applications will result in unsafe usage conditions which could result in product failure and/or personal injury.
•
Work surfaces can be adjusted in 1”-inch increments on either panels or wall tracks. Typical work surface heights are:
o
Machine usage/full-time keying: 25” from floor to top surface
o
Sit-down/Typical desk usage: 28” –30”, depending on size of person; 29” most normal
o
Stand-up height: 36”--42”
Set top of cantilever at 1” below desired work surface height
To install cantilever support arms:
1. Engage either left-hand or right-hand support arm in the appropriate panel side or wall hanger strip at the desired
height. See illustration. The cantilever support arm must rest fully beneath the work surface and flush to the end.

-style support arms and hanging brackets which attach to panels
and wall hanger strips have a built-in anti-dislodgement feature—the bracket ‘teeth’ are
curved requiring the bracket to be engaged in the following manner:
a. Tip the top, back of the bracket into the slotted track of a panel or wall
hanger strip so that the top tooth will engage first.
b. Position the bracket slightly offset to the outside of the components
location and, with the top tooth engaged, drop the rest of the bracket
against the slotted channel and into position.
c.
Tap the bracket firmly downward to securely seat the bracket
