Installation and Furniture Lifting
Select the Correct Fittings
Each furniture system may require a different setup. Consult the Project Information Prole for
information to choose the correct ttings for the jacks based on the systems furniture installed for the
particular project you are working on. Distribute the jacks to the crew members. The team lead should
make certain everyone on the team understands where and how to use the jacks/tools.
Gently Lift the Furniture
It is not a weight lifting contest – so go slow and easy on the jacks. Apply gradual force and gently lift the
panel. When using the jack, you will feel how the furniture is reacting to the force. Usually one or two
pumps would be enough to relieve the pressure on the furniture glide. Once you can see that there is
a clear space between the glide and the old carpet you will able to proceed. Be sure to remove the old
carpet rst to identify any carpet still pinned down by the furniture. Reposition your jacks as needed and
repeat the process as required. Never lift the furniture more than 1/2”.
Working together as a Team
Working as a team you will nd your projects will move along a lot smoother, thus allowing your crews to
install more yardage each night.
Good team work and communication will improve the safety on your project as
well.
