Installation
Note: These instructions provide basic information for
installing replacement gears in the folding table center
mechanism. For safety purposes and to avoid damage and/or
injury, it is recommended that two or more persons be used
to move the wood tops, and that the wood tops be removed/
installed with the base in the upright position.
Note: If a gear is being replaced at the end of the table, it will
not be necessary to remove the center heart mechanism as
outlined in steps 3, 4, 5, and 6. Follow steps 1 and 2, but
modify to remove the top only from the side that is being
replaced. Table will still need to be in folded position as per
step 2, but you will only be required to remove leg on one side
to replace gear. Continue with steps 7 through 17 as they apply
to this situation.
Note: For ease of replacement and re-assembly, gears should
only be replaced one side at a time. Determine which gear(s)
is/are damaged before starting repairs.
1. Make sure table is fully open and locked. Use the electric
screwgun with #4 hex bit to remove screws holding
worksurfaces to table frame. Save all removed screws.
(Reference Aspire Assembly Instruction: “Mount Wood
Top to Table Base Understructure”). Carefully remove
worksurfaces from frame and set aside. Unlock frame and
move to fully folded position. (Figure A).

2. Use the long-nose pliers to remove the clevis pin from one
of the turnbuckles attached to the “H” bracket at the
bottom of the frame. Remove one of the springs from the
“H” bracket. Loosening these items removes tension from
the cables that pass through the center mechanism.
