 Welcome

Congratulations on choosing the LifeSpan Workplace™ line of products. These

products give you the opportunity to remain productive while taking care of
yourself as you integrate movement with normally sedentary tasks.

The average American now spends eleven hours, five days a week, sitting, and
burns one-hundred fewer calories each day than they did a few decades ago.
Sitting for long periods slows your metabolism, reduces calories burned, and
increases your risk for heart disease and diabetes.

Whether you plan on placing this product in a TV room, replace your desk at
home or are adding another workspace in the office, LifeSpan Workplace™
products are a great way to add movement to an otherwise sedentary activity.

Before you assemble or operate your product, please read this manual
thoroughly. Important information, including safety precautions, ongoing
product maintenance, assembly instructions, and information on proper
operation are included.

If you need to contact LifeSpan customer service, visit our website at

www.LifeSpanFitness.com and select customer service. Complete the
information requested and we will respond to your inquiry within one
business day. In the United States and Canada you can also call
(877) 654-3837 and choose option 4.

Neither LifeSpan Fitness nor its representatives can accept responsibility for any damages or
injury incurred as a result of information presented in this manual except under the terms
of the product warranty.

 About Your Standing Desk

Proper Grounding
LifeSpan equipment must be grounded. Improper connection of the
equipment’s grounding conductor can result in the risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided
with the product or use a ground plug adapter to adapt to a non-grounded
outlet. If the plug will not fit in the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.

Power Cord Options

This standing desk should only be used with the proper power cord and
power outlet. Several power cord options (shown below) are available from
LifeSpan. We do our best do include the correct power cord with the standing
desk for your area. In the event that the correct power cord is not included in
the packaging please contact your local distributor.

! Do not use extension cords between the standing desk and power
outlet.

SD9 Standing Desk: Assembly Instructions

At LifeSpan we strive to make our equipment easy to assemble and start

using. Parts that can be pre-assembled are always assembled and tested on
the product line.
Prior to starting the assembly process, take all the parts out of the box,
remove plastic bags and lay everything out on the floor to become familiar
with the components.
Since your desk is a heavy piece of equipment, it is recommended that you
use two people during assembly and follow these assembly instructions to
reduce any problems that may occur.
