The Olympus base comes in two sizes:
Narrow Frame
Accomodates desk sizes 42”, 47” and 59”
Wide Frame
Accomodates desk sizes 71” and 83”
The narrow frame model comes with a standard length extension
channel (Part # 8). The wide version comes with a longer length
extension channel and a pair of metal sleeves (Part # 9).
Based on what desk top you are using, you will have to adjust
the extension channel width so that the base assembly lines up
with the pre-drilled holes in the desk top. To install the extension
channels, slide each channel into each crossbar (see image) then
tighten them lightly using the 8 set screws (Part # 10). Do not
overtighten in case you need to make further adjustments. See
Step 7.
If you are assembling a wide
frame model, you will have the
longer extension channels that
will support the widest desk
widths (71”-83”). Set the 2 metal
sleeves (Part # 9) to the mid
point of the extension channel.
Make sure that the small hole is
aligned to where it will connect
to the desk as you will need
the larger hole to operate a
screwdriver or drill head while
attaching the sleeve to the desk
top. See Image.
ALIGN BASE TO DESK TOP
Place the newly constructed base upside-down on the desk top and
line up the holes in the left top support arm with the insert nuts in
the underside of the desk top. If your desk top is the smallest width
size of 42”, please skip to step 8.
IF YOUR desktop is wider than 42”, adjust the extension channel
width so that the holes in the right top support arm also line up with
the insert nuts in the desk.
BEFORE ADJUSTING, mark the center of the extension channels to
ensure they remain centered with the desk.
TO ADJUST the crossbar width, loosen (do not remove) the 8 set
screws (Part # 9) using the Allen wrench provided. Align each with
the insert nuts on the table top, keeping both extension channels
centered between the left and right crossbars for maximum strength.
At this stage, it is recommended to place the control box (Part # 15a) in its final location between the crossbars. The fit is tight enough that
the control box will hold in place before the crossbars are finally tightened. Now, complete Steps 7 and 8. Step 9 shows you how to secure
the control box to the underside of the desk top.
