Balance ® Overhead AssemblyAssembly InstructionsAssemble units as described herein only. To do otherwise mayresult in instability. All screws, nuts and bolts must betightened securely and must be checked periodically afterassembly. Failure to assemble properly, or to secure partsmay result in assembly failure and injury.Mounting Bracket AttachmentNote: Mounting brackets fordifferent panel systems areattached to the overhead in thesame manner. Depending on thepanel system and attachment type,a set of brackets may consist ofone left-hand and one right-handbracket or two non-handedbrackets.overheadcabinetslotoverheadside1. Carefully set assembled overheadon either end, on a soft surface toprevent damage. Handed bracketsshould be assembled so thetoothed flange of the mountingbracket is flush with the overheadside. Non-handed brackets shouldbe assembled so either end ofbracket is flush with the overheadside.2. Engage the offset tab of themounting bracket into the slotalong the back of the overhead.Align the mounting bracket holewith the hole in the bottom of theoverhead and fasten with one5/16-18 x 1 /2" machine screw.Repeat at the other end of overhead(Figure 1).3. Hang the overhead unit onto thepanel using the appropriatemounting instructions for thesystem.Note: An alternative installationmethod may be used for overheadunits on all panel systems. Hangthe brackets onto the panel systemprior to attaching the brackets tothe overhead unit. Refer to instructionsof panel-mounted units forinformation on attaching bracketsto panels. Hook the offset tab of thebracket into the slot on the back ofthe overhead, allowing the overheadto fully engage the bracket.Align the hole in mounting bracketto the hole in the overhead bottomand fasten with one 5 /16-18 x 1 /2"machine screw. Repeat on otherend of overhead unit.typicalmountingbracketmountingbracketholeFigure 1offset tab5 /16-18 x 1 /2"machine screw2

The mounting brackets haveintegral teeth that engage thevertical furniture hanging slots inthe panel frame. Locate theon-module overhead unit at theheight that is desired on the panel.Engage the upturned tooth of thetop hook (circled) into the panelframe by holding the cabinetbottom out about 30°, then rotatethe unit to engage all the remainingteeth. When all teeth are engaged,press down on the cabinet to lockin place (Figure 2).on-moduleoverheadCaution: To remove the overheadunit from the panel, push thebottom of the cabinet straight upabout 1 / 4" and rotate the bottom outtoward you to about 30°. Pull theoverhead straight out and down. Donot force the side panel, damage tothe top tooth may result.Figure 23

WireWorks off-module overheadunits can only be hung with the topaligned to a 12" high tile. To makehanging the unit easier, remove thetop cap or tile directly above the topof the overhead.2. Disengage the overhead locks onthe mounting brackets by lifting thetabs closest to the back of theoverhead and pulling it toward thecabinet. With the overhead lockspulled out toward the front of thecabinet, hang the top and bottom ofthe mounting brackets into thetracks of the panel’s horizontal rail.Caution: Make sure the cabinet ishanging on the horizontal track andnot on the tile.3. After the unit is hung in the track,move it to the desired position bygently lifting up while sliding it.Secure the cabinet on the tracks bypushing the overhead locks towardthe track (Figure 3).12" tilemountingbracketoverheadlockoff-modulecabinetFigure 34

To hang overhead units on a loadbar, rotate the bottom of theoverhead unit out approximately30° and hook the mounting bracketonto the top of the load bar. Rotateoverhead down until unit is securedin place (Figure 4).Note: Use the same procedurefor installing overhead units toload bars on standard walls as withload bars mounted to panel walls.load bar mountedoverhead unitFigure 45

Shorter lightsmay be installed at the center pointof the cabinet or either side ofcenter as allowed by the slotlocations.Caution: Be sure cantileverbracket teeth are fully engaged ontothe overhead unit. Failure toassemble properly or to secureparts may result in assembly failureand injury.1. Align formed tabs in the side of thetask light with the flat tabs on thecantilever bracket. It may benecessary to remove spring clipsfrom the formed tabs in the side ofthe task light before attachingcantilever brackets (Figure 7).Note: The electrical cord from thetask light must face to the rear ofthe cabinet as illustrated when thetask light is installed.2. Flex the cantilever bracket slightlyto engage it into the formed tabsand slide forward until the hole inthe cantilever bracket snaps ontothe dimple in the task light. Repeatfor bracket at other end (Figure 7).3. Before installing the task light tothe cabinet, thread the electricalcord plug into either the centersquare hole in the overhead shelftrough back or set the cord into thecutout in the cantilever bracket asillustrated (Figure 7).4. Hook the cantilever brackets intothe slots in the trough under thecabinet which are appropriate forthe size of overhead unit and light(Figure 7).outside holecord cut-outformedtabcantileverbracketmiddle holetask light5. If power cord is threaded throughthe cord cut-out in the cantileverbracket, route the plug and cordthrough the outside square hole oneither end of the cabinet. Once thecord is routed appropriately, plug itinto an electrical source. Excesscord may be stored in the troughlocated inside the overhead.Figure 78
