Before you begin, make sure there is a clean, carpeted floor to work on, or use clean cardboard or blankets to protect the furniture surfaces during the assembly process.

The flipit instructions included with the shipment are for older flipit with slotted arms to link the keyboard tray to the lid to actuate opening.

1 Before you begin, make sure there is a clean, carpeted floor to work on, or use clean cardboard or blankets to protect the furniture surfaces during the assembly process. Unpack and Identify the parts for the table and flipit units. The flipit instructions included with the shipment are for older flipit with slotted arms to link the keyboard tray to the lid to actuate opening. Please refer to the new instructions which refer to cables that replace the slotted arms. FlipIT hardware has been shipped in a separate box, so pneumatic cylinders are not attached as depicted in the instruction book. These will attach with the silver shaft end connected to the frame. Locking hubs are packaged separately. All pilot holes have been predrilled, so you may ignore the instructions about making cuts and holes in the top. How to assemble PIANO Based on the PIANO 5 made especially for Falkirk Mining Co. This draft of instructions is specific for this installation. IMPORTANT Do not install the flipit units before assembling the table. The flipit instructions say the opposite. The components of this table are not as stable as a desk or 2-legged table, so for ease in handling, install flipit units AFTER the PIANO has been assembled. A screw gun with #2 Phillips and 10mm socket will be needed. 2 People Required for Assembly. Piano Assembly Instructions 2006 CBT Supply dba SMARTdesks

2 Piano Table Parts One lid Six doric column legs, two of these have wire management holes as shown. Six table top parts, predrilled and inserts installed to receive bolts with 10mm hex/phillips #2 heads. One pneumatic strut assembly with six black Phillips Head wood screws for installation. Twelve drilled plates for holding top sections together at the seams. Four pan brackets: two with post tops and two with hinged tops. One wire management pan.

Using a nut driver set to heavy torque (16 out of 17 on a Dewalt), install 6 legs using 8 each hexhead bolts.

3 Leg Locations Step 1 On a clean, soft floor, lay the PIANO pieces face down in the area you will be setting the table. You can make judgements about final placement during assembly. Using a nut driver set to heavy torque (16 out of 17 on a Dewalt), install 6 legs using 8 each hexhead bolts. Note the 8-pattern for leg locations. Two of the legs supplied have wire management holes. Plan ahead for their location to suit your needs. Holes should face the inside. Piano Assembly Instructions 2006 CBT Supply dba SMARTdesks

Step 2 Install the connecting plates to the curved table sections using 3 bolts each.

This is likely to tear out the inserts and ruin the tops.

4 Floor Leveler Leg Feature Legs have floor leveler feet that can be used for stabilization on uneven floors. Make sure the levelers are not extended on your initial set-up. Use them only as needed. Step 2 Install the connecting plates to the curved table sections using 3 bolts each. Install these loosely. DO NOT attempt to install all of the bolts and turn the table over. This will fail. DO NOT attempt to connect two sections together on the floor and turn them over together. This is likely to tear out the inserts and ruin the tops. Step 3 Using 2 people, turn the curved flipit section on its legs. Locate the final position for PIANO now; however,minor adjustments can be made during the assembly process.

When all sections are loosely together, they are far closer to their final position. Wait to apply final torque.

5 Step 4 With one person holding the curved section, the other person turns the straight section on its leg and situates it on the connecting plates. Install bolts through the connecting plate finger tight. The table system will be kept loose until all sections are attached, then tightened to heavy torque when each joint is held in position. DO NOT get ahead of yourself and torque down all of the bolts as you go. This will not save time. When all sections are loosely together, they are far closer to their final position. Wait to apply final torque. When loosely joined, these two sections now have enough stability to stand alone on 3 legs. Piano Assembly Instructions 2006 CBT Supply dba SMARTdesks

7 Step 6 Turn a curved corner on its leg and fasten with bolts, finger tight. Step 7 Turn the other curved corner on its leg and fasten with bolts, finger tight. Step 8 Place the final straight section in position and bolt into position finger tight. Piano Assembly Instructions 2006 CBT Supply dba SMARTdesks

8 Step 9 This requires teamwork. One person checks the alignment of the seam and the outer edge so it is flush. While one person holds the seam together, the other person torques the plates with the nut driver. This is the time when little adjustments can be made to situate the PIANO 5 perfectly in the room. As the sections become torqued together, the stress of large movements will not be good on the materials. If you need to make large adjustments to the table sections, loosen the joints all around, make the movement desired, then do this process again. Torque the joints sequentially, starting with the solid end section, then in this order: Piano Assembly Instructions 2006 CBT Supply dba SMARTdesks

9 Step 10 Install the hinged pan brackets to the right side of the well and the post pan head brackets on the left (as seen in the bottom photo). These attach with three hex-head bolts per bracket. Piano Assembly Instructions 2006 CBT Supply dba SMARTdesks

Final adjustments are made to the positioning of the lid from the top side.

10 Step 11 Using 2 people, lift the lid into position with the inserts over the hinged brackets. One person goes under the table and installs 2 hex head bolts into each hinge finger tight. Final adjustments are made to the positioning of the lid from the top side. The person top side holds the lid in position while the person under the table torques the nuts securely into position.

11 Step 12 Install the PIANO lid strut using 6 black Phillips head wood screws. Install into pre-drilled pilot holes, starting with the table end and finishing with the lid. Have a helper hold the lid as needed. Piano Assembly Instructions 2006 CBT Supply dba SMARTdesks

management pan. Step 14 Lay the wire management pan onto the extended bolts.

12 Step 13 Install hex-head bolts into all 4 of the pan support brackets. Let the heads extend about a quarter inch to receive the edge of the wire management pan. Step 14 Lay the wire management pan onto the extended bolts. Gravity holds the pan in place. Piano Assembly Instructions 2006 CBT Supply dba SMARTdesks
