How to install Middle Atlantic L5 Flip Up Shelf
Installing the L5 Flip Up Shelf is a straightforward enhancement to a compatible lectern. Begin by preparing the lectern surface where the shelf will be mounted, ensuring a clean, obstruction-free area free of loose components. Align the shelf with the hinge mechanism so the flip-up action matches the intended direction of use and the closed position sits flush with the lectern’s surface. Use the appropriate mounting hardware specified by Middle Atlantic for your particular lectern model; secure the shelf to the prepared mounting points, making sure all fasteners sit flush and are tightened evenly to prevent any wobble. Once installed, test the operation by gently lifting and lowering the shelf to confirm a smooth, pinch-free action. Verify that when closed, the shelf does not protrude beyond the lectern edge and that cables or accessories on the shelf do not interfere with the hinge or the lid of the lectern. For best results, perform periodic checks to ensure hardware remains tight and the surface continues to pair seamlessly with the lectern’s geometry. If your installation requires additional alignment, consult Middle Atlantic’s installation guides or contact a certified installer to guarantee optimal performance and safety.
