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 bottom mounting points. 

 

The Lift Column is ONLY designed and rated for VERTICAL, NON-INVERTED USE. 

DO NOT MOUNT THIS 

LIFT SYSTEM UPSIDE DOWN or SIDEWAYS (HORIZONTALLY, AS IN A LATERAL MOUNT)!

 

 

 

Space requirements for the L-45ens Lift System are as follows: 

Interior TV Enclosure Depth = TV Depth + 6.75”, or 9”, whichever is greater.  
Interior TV Enclosure Height = TV Height 

+

 1”, Not to Exceed 35” (Exterior Height not to exceed 35.5). 

Interior TV Enclosure Width = TV Width + 1” (Minimum =36.75”: Maximum = 54.5”) 
 
Interior Cabinet Depth = Interior TV Enclosure Depth + 2.5” or 11”, whichever is greater. 
Interior Cabinet Height = Interior TV Enclosure  2.5”, Not to exceed 37” 
Interior Cabinet Width = Exterior TV Enclosure Width + 1” 
 
Lid Depth = Interior TV Enclosure Depth + Back Panel Thi1.25” or 10.5”, whichever is greater. 
Lid Width = Exterior TV Enclosure Width +1” 
 

 

IMPORTANT NOTE:

  The TV must be mounted 

as high up as possible inside the cabinet,

 so that when the Lift is in 

the fully “DOWN” position (fully retracted), the top of the TV will be just underneath the lid of the cabinet.   

 
 

About the Cabinet Lid (Cabinet Top)

 

 

 

SAFETY NOTICE: 

 

WARNING!  YOU MUST NOT DIRECTLY SCREW THE CABINET LID (TOP) TO THE LIFT SYSTEM!!  

THIS 

CREATES HAZARDOUS

 

“PINCH POINTS” AND MAY AFFECT THE OPERATION OF THE LIFT OR CAUSE DAMAGE TO 

THE CABINET TOP.

 

 

For floating lids, 

DO NOT USE SCREWS to attach the lid to the Lift System

. Instead, use the “Threaded 

Taper Pins”. This will keep the lid firmly in place, but will also allow it to 

separate from the lift system

 if anything 

(like a finger) gets in the way when the TV lowers

.

 

 

Which Lid Style Will You Use?  (There are 3 Different Styles) 

Floating  Lid (Floating Top)

 – The whole top of the cabinet sits on top of the  Lift System and raises/lowers with the TV.  

This is the standard Installation method, using the Top Plate (part #8) and Threaded Taper Pins. 

 
Cut-Out Floating Lid (Top)

 – You will “cut out” part of your cabinet top, customizing it to the size of your TV. That cut-out 

lid  then  sits  on  top  of  the  Lift  System  and  raises/lowers  with  the  TV.  This  method  uses  the  Top  Plate  (part  #8)  and 
Threaded Taper Pins (Part #20), but you must set up a “catch” for the cut-out lid so that when the TV lowers, the lid stops 
level with the rest of your cabinet top (like a manhole cover). 

 
Hinged-Lid (Hinged-Top)

 – Not Compatible with the L-45ens Lift System.
