Adjusting the height
( eg type in fig. 2) Pull out the
disengage knob*. Keeping it pulled
out, carefully adjust the table to a
different height. Then release the
knob and allow it to click into the
desired position. The leg can be
adjusted in 2 cm increments.
* Note! The table may drop under
its own weight when the knob is
pulled out.
Height-adjustable tables (HI)
A height-adjustable Mehes table (fig. 2) can be adjusted
to suit your personal requirements. The height can be
adjusted from 62 to 82 cm in increments of 2 cm. As a
rule the table will be adjusted only once, by the user of
the workstation.
Variable height tables (HVE)
A variable height Ahrend 22 table (fig. 3) lets you adjust
the height of the work surface electrically to suit your
own height and posture at any time.
This means that different people can use the same work
table at different times in maximum comfort.
An electronic switch on the table edge operates the
mechanism that adjusts the table height between 62
and 82 cm. Several preferred positions can also be
stored in the memory.
Note! If you are making a major
adjustment to the height of a work-
station with three or more support-
ing legs, you will have to adjust the
heights of the different legs in
steps to ensure that tops or connec-
tors are not distorted.
The height of your chair
Adjust the height of your chair seat to your dimension A
(see Working out the correct table height).
Measure from a point in the middle of the front edge of
the seat.
Footrest
In practice a low table height is often disliked, perhaps
because a person does not want to be sitting lower than
his or her colleagues.
In this case an ergonomically correct sitting posture can
still be achieved with the aid of a footrest.
Adjust the table and chair by raising them a distance
equal to the average height of the footrest.
Variable height tables (HVE)
Tables with an electronic switch
are delivered with a separate
manual for use of the switch.
