NOTE: The Lid Cover is not provided with the Lift System, as it is part of your cabinetry
What is the Lid Cover?
The Lid Cover is the piece of material that you choose to have “float” just below the TV.
Typically, this material is made of wood and is not provided with the lift system. When the TV lift fully retracts, the Lid
Cover will conceal the hole that is required for the system to drop-down through the cabinet and into view.
SAFETY NOTICE:
WARNING! YOU MUST NOT DIRECTLY SCREW THE CABINET LID COVER TO THE LIFT SYSTEM!!
THIS CREATES HAZARDOUS
“PINCH POINTS” AND MAY AFFECT THE OPERATION OF THE LIFT OR CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE CABINET LID.
DO NOT USE SCREWS to attach the lid cover to the Lift System
. Instead, use the “LID STABILIZATION PACK” (PARTS #22-25). This
will keep the lid firmly in place, but will also allow it to
separate enough from the lift system
if anything (like a finger) gets in the
way when the TV raises.
How to do the Cut-Out Lid Cover
– You will “cut-out” part of your cabinet bottom, customizing it to the size of your TV.
The dimensions for this cut-out are as follows:
Width= TV width plus 2”, Depth= TV Depth + 5.5”.
That cut-out lid then
attaches to the lid plate of the Lift System and raises/lowers with the TV. This method uses the Lid Plate (part #7) and Lid
Stabilization Pack (parts #22-25), but you must set up a “catch” for the cut-out lid so that when the TV raises, the lid stops
level with the rest of your cabinet bottom (like a manhole cover). This procedure is described later on page 14.
Assembly and Mounting – Things to Think About First
SAFETY NOTICE:
For proper support, the Lift System MUST NOT be attached to any material that is less than
¾
” thick. This applies to BOTH the back
and top mounting points.
The Lift Column is ONLY designed and rated for VERTICAL, INVERTED USE.
DO NOT MOUNT THIS LIFT SYSTEM UPSIDE DOWN or
SIDEWAYS (HORIZONTALLY, AS IN A LATERAL MOUNT)!
Space requirements for the L-2
7
i Lift System are as follows:
Depth= TV depth PLUS 5.5”
Height = TV height plus 1” or 23.2 minimum.
Width= the inside of the cabinet should be at least 2” wider than your TV.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The Lift System must be mounted
as low as possible inside the cabinet,
so that when the Lift is in the fully “UP” position
(fully retracted), the bottom of the TV will be just above the lid of the cabinet.
Lift System height and mounting position:
When fully assembled, the HEIGHT of the Lift will be 23.2”.
TIP:
If you need to mount the lift lower inside the cabinet, you can cut a wood block or mount a small shelf inside the cabinet for the top of the
Lift Column (Base Mount) to mount on. Keep in mind that the “Bayonet Bracket” (part #3) will bear most of the weight
.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
THE LID COVER IS OPTIONAL. Many people prefer to have the TV lower with no lid attached below the
TV. If you are NOT going to be using a lid cover, please skip this section and continue to “Types of Controls” below.
