If you are finding it difficult to raise and lower your Float, please check the barrel
adjuster behind the back of the Release Paddle (fig. A). The barrel adjuster
needs to be adjusted to increase the tension in the Release Paddle which will
allow for the Float to easily raise and lower. To make the required adjustment,
simply turn the barrel adjuster counterclockwise until you have between ¾” and
½” of metal thread showing. You will now find that the Release Paddle will
engage better and allow for the Float to be raised and lowered
Adding Weight to the Work Surface (fig. B)
As you begin to add more weight to the work surface, it will become more
difficult to raise and lower the table. The following steps explain how to adjust
your Float to make it easier to raise and lower:
1. Squeeze the Release Paddle and raise the work surface to its
maximum height (fully extended)
2. If using the Removable Spring Tension Adjuster, insert it into the hex
spigot on the center beam to the right of the min – max scale
3. Using either the Removable or Mounted Spring Tension Adjuster,
slowly begin to increase the tension by turning the Adjuster clockwise
4. You will start to see the red mark on the min – max scale move from the
min mark towards the max mark
5. Once you have adjusted your Float, bring the work surface back down
and try raising and lowering it a few times until it fluidly adjusts
6. If you need to make further adjustments, raise the Float to its
maximum height and follow these steps again
Removing Weight from the Work Surface (fig. C)
As you begin to remove weight from your work surface, you will notice that
Float will raise quickly and be difficult to lower. Simply follow the above instruc-
tions about adding weight to the work surface, but instead of turning the Adjust-
er clockwise, you will need to turn the Adjuster counterclockwise to release the
spring tension in the Float.
Float sits on four glides which can be adjusted to level the work surface, if the
floor is not level. These can be independently adjusted.
Important: Please be aware that your newly purchased Float will hold a maximum weight of 130 lbs. Please contact
Customer Service if you would like to find out more information about our Float heavy duty kit that will increase the
maximum weight loading from 130 lbs to 160 lbs.
If you are finding it difficult to raise and lower your Float, please check the barrel adjuster behind the back of the
Release Paddle (fig. A). The barrel adjuster needs to be adjusted to increase the tension in the Release Paddle which
will allow for the Float to raise and lower. To make the required adjustment, simply turn the barrel adjuster counter-
clockwise until you have between ¾” and ½” of metal thread showing. You will now find that the Release Paddle will
engage better and allow for the Float to be raised and lowered
If your Float is adjusted so that the min – max mark is at the ¾” position on the scale and the Float is still very difficult
to raise and lower, please contact Customer Service who will help you order a heavy duty Float kit that will allow for the
weight limit to be increased from 130 lbs to 160 lbs. This heavy duty kit will make the table easier to adjust with the
additional weight.
