OAD THE

ABLE

Before loading a table in the horizontal position (see Figure A), lock the caster brakes and verify

that the tilt latch is securely engaged. Slide or carefully rest the load on the table, making sure to
use correct lifting technique. Dropping or bouncing a load onto the table may damage the frame.
Also make sure that the load is directly supported underneath by at least two structural members

of the table top frame. Uneven loading could also damage the table's frame.
When the load support rollers are installed, the table can be loaded in either the upright position

(see Figure C) or the folded position (see Figure B). Install the support rollers in their extended
position and secure them with the pins supplied. Lock the caster brakes, and set or roll an upright

load onto the support rollers, making sure to use correct lifting technique. The load surface
should rest against the table top surface. Be sure to use at least 2 support rollers at all times to
support the load. Loading the support rollers evenly provides stable support and makes tilting or
moving the table easier and more secure.

WARNING: If table is in folded position, make sure load will not cause table to tip

over.

A table in the folded position (see Figure B) may

lack sufficient counter-balance for the load and,
if so, could tip over. Support the load manually

until you can verify that the table will not tip
over while supporting or transporting the load.

ILT THE

OAD

Tilting the load requires the load support rollers

to be installed on the table. Remember that the
loaded table requires more vertical space when

tilted from the horizontal position (see Figure A)
to the upright position (see Figure C).

Make

sure

that the caster brakes are applied, that the

load support rollers are secured in their

extended position and that the load fits snugly
against them, since they will support the load
weight in the upright position.

WARNING: Short loads tend to pull table abruptly upright; keep load under

control at all times.

Use caution when releasing the tilt latch:

The shorter and denser the load is, the more

likely it is to swing upward abruptly as soon as the latch is released. Release the table top to tilt
upward by pulling outward on the tilt latch handle. At the same time, maintain a hold on the
table top to keep the load under control throughout the tilt.

Failure to do so could result in

serious injury to the user or others.

Allow the table top to move upward until it attains the

fully upright position. If necessary, lift and/or push on the table top, making sure to use correct
lifting technique.
The table top should automatically remain in the upright position until the user initiates downward

movement. When tilting the loaded table back to the horizontal position (see Figure A), carefully
pull the table top down until it latches on the table base.
