The original CEO model shipped as 2 separate cabinets which were bolted together on site, then crown and doors were placed and unit leveled, using leveler screws on the Lift & Roll mechanisms. That model required professional installers on initial set-up.

THIS unit, the NEW Executive model is designed for streamlined delivery and does not require a separate team of professional installers.

The Executive model is intuitive and extremely user friendly.

The NEW Executive model ships fully assembled but may be partially disassembled by the delivery personnel, if required to facilitate delivery maneuverability. Crown will lift off, and the 6 bolts which join the two cabinets may be released. The unit, on its pallet, weighs about 850 lbs.

CONTACT SUMMERLAND FIRST IF DISASSEMBLY APPEARS NECESSARY

The OFFICE furniture delivery personnel are not permitted to install your personal computer equipment.

The Executive Model Uncrating & Start-up

• Inspect the outer shipping carton for damage. If any exterior damage is noted, contact Summerland at 772-219-0455; advise carrier driver and, if possible, take photos.
• Remove outer corrugated, shrink wrap and foam.
• To remove from pallet, remove shipping steel straps screwed to pallet (all corners)

Pull handle TOWARDS CENTER OF UNIT TO RAISE. Pull handle to raise the casters (lowering the Executive) - - during lowering hold back with nominal resistance to lower smoothly. Note that Lift & Roll  feet will need to be adjusted to level doors when Executive is located (see below).


• Move unit to Desired Location The unit should be moved on dollies. We suggest piano boards for moving up stairs. NOTE that the full Executive weight is more than 600 lbs. If space constraints are encountered, the Executive may be separated into two sections by removal of furniture bolts from the front and screws (marked with trim rings) located within the false backs. To access, remove false back outer covers and remove crown molding (unscrew from top).

•   Once The Executive is in place, adjust leveling feet (4) placing protective cups under each to protect flooring. To easily adjust leveling feet, raise unit onto casters, screw leveling feet down as required and lower until doors are even at top.
• Install Computer Equipment - - User Responsibility  The unit is fully wired. Once equipment is place, power cords and data cables are led through the ports into the false back for connection.
• Insert CPU onto CPU slideout and plug main power cord into wall outlet.



• To Operate the Monitor Lift:  A rocker switch is mounted into the desk top (right side)


To lower the monitor lift, hold left side of rocker switch -- to raise, hold right side
• To insert Monitor: Remove monitor cover by releasing cam locks located under front edge of monitor cover. Turn to release (using hand screwdriver). Front cover may then be fully removed. 
  
  The monitor will require an extension cable to pass through the port on the left side (into the false back), down to the port behind the CPU, through that port and connected to the CPU. Note that the monitor video cable must have adequate length to reach from the monitor's lowest position. This cable must be free to move up and down. 
  
  With the monitor in place, operate the lift to raise and lower observing the cable. When movement is unencumbered, lead monitor power cord through the port to the monitor outlet within the false back. Again operate the lift to verify proper cable movement. Then reinsert the face cover and refasten the cam locks.
  
  
•  Keyboard and Mouse Extension cables will also be needed of adequate length to pass through the port(s) into the false back and to the rear of the CPU.
• Telephone lines are designated within the false back and phone cords are attached. 
• Connect computer components to power outlets within false back and test system operation.
• Replace false back outer covers.
• Move Executive to final position.
• Lower casters so Executive is resting on adjusting feet.

Before movers depart, ask them to first level your unit, using the adjustable levelers on the Lift & Roll mechanisms.

Then ask them to elevate your unit and leave it up on its Lift & Roll wheels, with one corner of the cabinet pulled far enough away from the wall, so that you can comfortably get at the wiring compartment in the false back to plug in your equipment.

Either of these Keyjacks will operate your Lift & Roll mechanisms The Keyjack that comes with your OFFICE is the one shown at above right. It will be chrome plated. Should you ever misplace your keyjack, below are replacement components. They are readily available from any Home Depot or Auto Supply Store. 8" Flex Handle 3/8" drive (in a pinch you can use a breaker bar) 8" Flex Handle Thorsen Part # 51112 or Husky counterpart 4" extension with 3/8" drive (Husky 3" extension w/3/8" drive Part #22220 is also OK) A 3/4" deep socket with 3/8" drive. 12 point (Thorsen Part# 51624) or Husky counterpart

USE THE LIFT & ROLL MECHANISM TO ELEVATE THE UNIT

There are three Lift & Roll mechanisms installed on the CEO model. Most Executive models require only two. USE ALL Lift & Rolls installed on your unit. 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:

 

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

To RAISE the unit, putting it up on its wheels, insert the keyjack into the Lift & Roll opening. The keyjack opening may be concealed from view, behind a removable black or wood cover.

Regardless of WHICH Lift & Roll you are about to elevate, Left, or Right, or Middle, ALWAYS press downward with the handle going towards the CENTER of the unit.

Press down until you feel it the jacking caster mechanism LOCK IN PLACE. If it seems to require more than 8 pounds of pressure, you may be trying to press downward in the wrong direction.

Once the unit has been permanently positioned, you will want to retract the casters so that The OFFICE is lowered into place and the wheels are invisible.

When lowering the unit into place, insert the handle of the keyjack so that it is facing the center of the unit. You are going to return it to the straight up, or 12 o'clock position.

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.

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: CEO model rear wiring compartment with the back removed Engineers are on call to answer any questions

Equipment cords and cables are fed through adjacent grommets. Click above for photo. CONNECT your Keyboard exension cable. CONNECT your Mouse extension cable. CONNECT your Monitor extension cable.

Wiring compartment equipment plugs are designed for intuitive computer installation. Grommets providing cord and cable access have been positioned accordingly.

NEXT:

  Replace back panels.

Place cabinet in desirable location

Once The OFFICE™ is positioned, LOWER Lift & Roll mechanisms.

NOTE: Move just about any piece of furniture in your home or office, and you'll note an indentation in the carpet beneath it, indicating where the legs of that furniture had been located. You may wish to place cups or casters beneath the furniture levelers on The OFFICE. We recommend wide base hard, plastic cups or other styles of flat protectors, since some types of rubber protectors can permanently stain the customer's floor. Another option is to use carpet scraps.

If you wish to place floor protectors beneath Lift & Roll levelers, position them under the levelers but do not adjust levelers until after the installation is complete.

Note diagram below:Start with any Lift & Roll mechanism. Insert keyjack handle parallel to ground, with arm of Keyjack facing TOWARDS THE CENTER KNEESPACE of The OFFICE.

Turn Lift & Roll mechanism (jacking caster) keyjack arm to "up" position to LOWER the unit.

Exercise caution once casters are unlocked to lower the unit, the keyjack bar will move rapidly upward in the direction that it is being pulled.

To close the chair inside The OFFICE™ First, touch the MIGA switch (Make It Go Away) to elevate the monitor slightly. On the CEO & Professional models that switch is located over-desk. See photo near-right. On the Executive model there is a rocker switch located on the front of the desk-top. See photo far-right.

CEO & Professional

Executive model.

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 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 rests close to the seat back and lift straight 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 straighten, and then 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.
