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.

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

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

Moving Instructions
Care must be taken when moving freestanding units
to prevent injury to persons handling the unit and to
prevent damage to the unit.
Never move a desk with the return attached.
Remove the return according to instructions
provided with the desk, relocate the units and
reattach the return.
There are two recommended methods for moving
freestanding units.
When moving a desk or a credenza in a horizontal
position, either a desk. lift mechanism or a cart may
be used. When using a left mechanism. the lift arms
must pick up on the glides located on the inside
edge of the drawer pedestal (Fig. 9).
If a caster cart is used, the cart must be placed
under the end panels (Fig. 10).
Lifting or transporting the desk or credenza by lifting
under the center of the pedestal units will damage
the drawer pedestal housing and prevent operation
of the drawers (Fig. 11).
A desk or credenza may also be rotated to a vertical
position and transported using a two wheel
appliance truck (Fig. 12). When moving this way, be
sure the top of the unit rests against the padded
vertical portion of the appliance truck. When
transporting a single drawer pedestal unit, the end
of the unit closest to the drawers must rest on the
bottom of the truck. When a double drawer pedestal
unit is transported in this manner, it is recommended
that a spacer bar be placed between the drawer
pedestal housings. If a caster cart is used to move
the desk in a vertical position, the cart deck must be
solid and larger than the desk end panel, or damage
may result to the end of the desk (Fig. 13).
