How to Install Middle Atlantic L5 Flip Up Shelf, HPL Beige
Installing the L5 Flip Up Shelf is a straightforward enhancement to a compatible lectern or AV station. Follow these general steps to achieve secure mounting and optimal operation. Always refer to the official installation manual for your specific lectern model to confirm compatibility and any hardware requirements.
- Confirm compatibility: Verify that your lectern or mounting surface is designed to accept the L5 shelf and that mounting points align with the shelf’s hardware locations.
- Prepare the workspace: Clear the area around the lectern, unplug devices as needed, and ensure there is ample clearance to open and close the shelf without obstruction.
- Position the shelf: Hold the flip-up shelf in the desired location on the lectern, aligning mounting holes with the corresponding studs or rails. Use a level to ensure a straight, stable installation that won’t tilt during use.
- Secure mounting hardware: Insert and tighten the mounting screws or bolts through the shelf’s pre-drilled holes into the lectern frame or mounting rails. Use the hardware recommended by Middle Atlantic for your specific model, and avoid overtightening which could interfere with the flip mechanism.
- Test the mechanism: Gently operate the shelf to ensure a smooth flip-up action. Confirm that it opens without catching on cables and that it reclines flush against the lectern when closed. Route any cables through built-in channels or pass-throughs to maintain a tidy appearance.
- Cable management and load placement: Place essential items on the shelf, keeping heavier items centered to maintain balance. If your setup includes cable runs or devices requiring power, plan routing to minimize strain on the shelf’s hinge area.
- Final inspection: Check for wobble, secure hardware, and unobstructed folding. Confirm that the shelf remains flush when closed and that the surface remains stable under typical presenter use.
