PRINT OUT THIS INSTALLATION MANUAL AND HAVE IT ON HAND
Your installer will require it for reference purposes.

By now, a large percentage of the installers nationwide have become thoroughly familiar with this product, but since employees do change, your local installation crew may be installing The OFFICE™ for the first time. We use competent installation companies, and they have been provided in advance with printed installation instructions. Installation time will run no longer than three hours and can generally be completed in less than half that time.

If you should have any questions during either delivery or installation - Just call Tech Support: at 772-219-0455, and put the delivery driver or lead installer on the phone. We'll take it from there. This page is designed as a fail-safe resource so that YOU will understand the installation procedure. With us on the telephone, and you on-site, we can get the installation done in a snap. The point of the exercise is to get the job done properly, right then and there.

This is NOT a complex installation.
There IS going to be a pop-quiz, though, so please read this page VERY CAREFULLY.

Remember to purchase and have on hand a keyboard extension cable, a mouse extension cable and monitor and printer extension cables, since you will need those at time of installation.

Before the installers leave, please do make certain you have tested each phone/modem jack, and each electrical outlet. (any type of small lamp will do just fine for the outlet test)

IMPORTANT NOTE: Installation personnel are NOT authorized to install your personal computer equipment.

Align bolt holes in cabinet "A" with bolt holes in cabinet "B". Insert bolt "BB" into the four holes in the lower half of cabinet. Screw socket Head Hex Nut "CC" onto bolt "BB". Use 3/16" ALLEN WRENCH to make sure bolt and nut are tight. NEXT: Uncoil main electrical cord and plug into wall outlet. From the monitor lift control on the front of the unit, LOWER the monitor lift. UNPLUG ELECTRIC. Install top bolts after monitor lift has been lowered and electric cord UNPLUGGED.

ATTACH CROWN MOULD Position crown on top of cabinet. Make sure side of crown labled "FRONT" is facing forward. Align holes in the crown with holes in top. Screw 1 1/4"wood screws through the crown into the top of the cabinet. Electric screwdriver will be desirable tool. Use all provided screws.

NEXT: USE THE LIFT & ROLL MECHANISM TO ELEVATE THE UNIT

Insert the keyjack, place the Lift & Roll (jacking caster) bar in the "down" position to elevate the unit. Insert the keyjack in the "straight-up" position. Push DOWN until casters LOCK in place. SEE DIAGRAMS

There are three Lift & Roll mechanisms installed on the CEO model. USE ALL THREE. Although you may do this in any order, for ease of use, you might want to start from the outside Lift & Roll mechanisms and work in.

Note diagram below: Note that each Keyjack bar presses downward TOWARDS THE CENTER KNEE SPACE of The OFFICE. These mechanisms require but 8 pounds of pressure and are user-friendly. Exercise caution once casters are unlocked to lower the unit, since the keyjack bar (provided) will move rapidly in the direction that it is being pulled.

To RAISE the unit, insert the keyjack and press downward towards the CENTER of the unit until you feel it LOCK IT IN PLACE. If it seems to require more than 8 pounds of pressure, you may be trying to press downward in the wrong direction.

Next, using a flat-head screwdriver, Remove 1/4" thick cleating material from bottom edge of Cabinet A & B. Then, Remove back panels to allow access to electrical outlets. The electric screwdriver will be a desirable tool. Above: What the CEO model looks like with the back off. Note: Engineers are on call to answer any questions, but everything has already been addressed in this online installation manual.

What Goes Where? HELPFUL NOTES WHEN USING THE OFFICE FOR THE FIRST TIME:

UPS Placement (Below UPS are Monitor Lift & Desk Light Control switches) Printer Compartment At LEFT, just below the desktop on the right hand side is where the APC Power Manager™ mounts. Right below that is a fax glider tray. This spacious compartment is designed to be used for whatever makes sense for you. It has an electrical outlet as well as an additional modem jack. CPU Placement

The library storage compartment at the top of the peripheral cabinet has a removable divider should you wish to use the space for another piece of electrical equipment. The divider is held in place on the glider by dowels. To remove it, simply lift straight up.

To close the chair inside The OFFICE™, First touch the MIGA switch (Make It Go Away) to elevate the monitor slightly.

Next, push your keyboard tray forward, sliding it back under the desktop, and then flip The OFFICE™ patented interlocking desktop section up and back to create the chair space.

The main desktop measures approx. 24" deep by just under 48" wide. You'll have found two additional pull-out/flip-up work-surfaces, one on the door, the other pulls out from beneath the printer shelf to give you a U-shaped work area. (The latter has the ability to tip up as a compact drafting board/reference stand.) Simply slide the task table on your left back into its place below the printer glider.

The Omnific ergonomic chair has articulating arms. This means that they function very much like a double-jointed elbow.

When seated in the chair, simply grasp the arm rest close to the seat back and lift UP. You will note that the back of the chair does what could be compared to a shrug of the shoulders when this happens. This allows the articulating arms to change directions. The first time you try this, you might want to stand behind the chair, lean over, grasp the armrest and lift up simply to familiarize yourself with the double-jointed type armrest motion.

Remember to place BOTH arms in the DOWN position when you get ready to close the chair up inside.

It should take you somewhere in the neighborhood of twenty seconds to completely close down The OFFICE™ with the chair inside. The OFFICE™ is both a practical, as well as a user-friendly place in which to work. Your tools are at your fingertips, but can be concealed at a moments' notice. Even the chair closes up inside.
