Quick Guide
The Drive Seat Lift Chair Table is designed to provide a convenient surface for users seated in chairs or couches. Important: This table is not a lift assist device and must not be used to support more than 25 lbs. Always ensure the base is positioned correctly under the chair or couch to prevent tipping.
Assembly Instructions
Tools required: Phillips screwdriver and two 7/16” wrenches.
- Place the base (#7) under the chair (left side for 13085LN, right side for 13085RN) with the magazine rack opening facing the rear. Place the front leg of the chair on the positioning pad (#8).
- Stand the column (#6) on end. Ensure the trip rod is visible in the rectangular tube but not protruding. Shake the column if necessary until the rod drops.
- Insert the trip handle (#4) into the column (#6) with the rounded side up, ensuring it rests on top of the rod.
- Place the top (#1) on a flat surface with the top bracket facing upward. Insert the column (#6) into the top bracket. Align the holes in the column foot, trip handle, and top bracket. Install both bolts (#2) and nuts (#5) using the two 7/16” wrenches.
- Place the top and column assembly over the round tube on the base (#7). Ensure the column has dropped down completely.
- Remove the black shipping screw from the column and replace it with the zinc-plated screw (#3) using a Phillips screwdriver.
Operating Instructions
To Elevate the Table: Push upwards at any position on the underside of the top until the desired height is reached.
To Lower the Table: Squeeze the trip handle up and push the top down to the desired height. The table operates best when downward pressure is applied at the column end of the top.
The table can swing a full 360 degrees around the base for use as an end table or lap tray.
Safety and Maintenance
Caution: The assembly is spring-loaded. Do not remove the black shipping screw until assembly steps 1-5 are completed. Removing it prematurely may result in personal injury or spring damage.
Maintenance: Occasionally apply light oil lubrication between the inner and outer columns to ensure smooth operation. Penetrating oils with rust inhibitors are recommended.
