Each column contains a captive control cable tail, which will be tucked inside the column during shipment. Pull out and insert each column&#x2019;s captive power cable tail and rubber sleeve into the corresponding notch in its base. This is the bottom of the column. Be careful not to pinch the cable when attaching the column to the baseplate. This will render the column inoperable and void the warranty.Step 2. Screw the four leveling feet into the bottom of the base plate. The bottom of the base plate is the side which has protruding PEM nuts. Use the 5mm Allen key to assist as needed. We recommend leaving approximately 1/2 inch of thread exposed between the bottom of the base plate and the top of the foot to allow for fine adjustment. Important Note: the base plate must be oriented with the PEM nuts facing down. Assembling the stands with the PEM nuts facing upward could cause failure of the base plate.&#xA0;<img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/bgJ1Q6QWzOw7vXKO/hc/RdOkb7o8KmxVXGNr/2025100316-caa1840e-79f3-4b8d-8959-c9b4be0edaa6-lift%20mk2%20website%20line%20art_exploded%20foot%20detail.png" style="width: 300px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-fil"> Step 3. Attach the assembled base plate to the bottom of the column using (4) M6 bolts through (4) M6 lock washers per stand. Use your fingers to thread the bolts, taking care not to cross thread any of the fasteners. Once all four bolts are fully threaded, tighten them with the supplied T-Handle Hex driver. Do not over tighten as this could damage the threads inside the column and void the warranty (max torque 10Nm).<img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/bgJ1Q6QWzOw7vXKO/hc/RdOkb7o8KmxVXGNr/2025100316-f0ceec52-2f8c-45da-b015-a9e98674099b-lift%20mk2%20website%20line%20art_exploded%20baseplate%20and%20foot%20detail.png" style="width: 300px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-fil"> Step 4. Place the stand upright on its base and attach the speaker platform to the top of the column. Carefully thread and then tighten the (4) M6 bolts through (4) M6 lock washers per stand in the same manner as before (max torque 10Nm).Step 5. After assembling your stands, place the stands in their approximate final positions and connect the motor control cables from each column to the control box. The columns can be connected to any of the motor power ports on the control box labeled &#x201C;1&#x201D;, &#x201C;2&#x201D;, or &#x201C;3&#x201D; according to the number of stands you ordered. The control box may be placed anywhere that is convenient but please ensure that it has some ventilation space around it and the cables are not strained to reach the stands during operation.&#xA0;Step 6. Connect the control keypad cable to the control box port &#x201C;A1&#x201D;.Step 7. Connect the IEC power cable to the control box and connect it to a nearby outlet or power strip.Step 8. You may mount the control keypad under your desk using the included bracket and screws or place it on the desk surface without the bracket. Mount or place the keypad within easy reach if you plan to adjust the stand height frequently. Alternatively you can use the keypad to adjust the stand height during setup and then leave it stored out of the way near the control box.NOTE: Once you insert the mounting bracket into the control keypad, it cannot be removed. <h2 dir="ltr" id="system-initialization">SYSTEM INITIALIZATION</h2>Once assembly is completed, proceed with initializing the column motors:<ul><li dir="ltr">Press and hold the DOWN button on the controller until the columns retract fully and then stop (about 5 seconds).
