Reconfiguration of Desk/Return Assembly
A return may be disassembled from a desk and
repositioned to the other end of the desk (Fig. 5).
1. Remove the modesty panel(s) first by removing
the screws which attach the panel(s) to both the
desk end panel and to the return end panel or to the
drawer pedestal (whichever is applicable). See
Figure 6.
2. Remove the screws which attach the flat
brackets to the return top. Leave the flat brackets
attached to the desk top for the moment to support
the return (Fig. 7).
3. Remove the return and set it aside.
4. Reconfigure the desk per the "Reconfiguration
of a Single Pedestal Desk" installation instructions.
5. Remove the flat brackets from the desk top and
reinstall them on the other end of the desk in the
pre-drilled holes (Fig. 8).
6. If the return does not have a drawer pedestal
attached, go to step 6. If the return has a drawer
pedestal attached, the pedestal must be removed
and turned 180°. To do this, turn the return upside
down on a carpeted or other soft, nonabrasive
surface. Follow the instructions provided with the
pedestal unit to remove it and reinstall it in the
correct orientation.
7. Place the return into position by resting the
open end of the return on the support brackets and
reinstall the screws into the return top.
8. Attach the modesty panel to the existing holes
in the desk end panel using #10 screws. Drill 7/64"
dia. holes in the return end panel or drawer
pedestal to mount the modesty panels. Use the
modesty panel as a template.
9. Attach the modesty panel to the return end
panel with #10 screws and to the drawer pedestal
(if applicable) with #8 screws.
NOTE: Hole plugs are available through Service
Parts to cover holes which are visible after
reconfiguration.
