3. Remove Ceiling Canopy:
At each corner of Canopy Ceiling Sub-Assembly, remove six
(6) total 1/4”-20 x 1 1/2” Flange head bolts securing Cano-
py to Corner Extrusions. If a Pod S or Pod M, the Ceiling
Canopy is one piece. If a Pod L (two piece Ceiling Canopy),
remove bolts along front and corners. Remove the biscuits
aligning the two Ceiling Canopy sections. Set aside hard-
ware for reassembly.
2. Determine which step to proceed with:
If preassembled Pod can be transported to its final destina-
tion, remove shipping corner blocks from under Pod using
provided 7/16” nut driver (requires Johnson bar or forklift).
Ensure outside edges of top and bottom horizontal pieces of
Front Frame Assembly are flush with ends of vertical extru-
sions of Front Frame Assembly. See Step 9. If not flush,
loosen nut, adjust, and tighten. Then proceed with Step 13.
If preassembled Pod cannot be transported to its final desti-
nation, proceed with Step 3 to disassemble. Keep all hard-
ware during disassembly as this hardware is required
to reassemble Pod. Do not remove any material pro-
tection at this time.
1. Unpack Pod:
Unpack Pod in convenient location.
Remove/dispose plastic Pod wrapping and cardboard pro-
tective corners. Open installation kit to access provided bit
(Red Bag).
Unstrap and place aside all material inside Pod. Remove
four (4) D-Rings screwed inside Pod on Floor Base and Ceil-
ing Canopy.
4. Remove Baffles, Interior Panels, Toe Kick Binder:
Remove baffles on lower row of panels first. Have one in-
staller inside Pod to support wall panels while the other
removes screws from outside Pod. Use provided bit to re-
move eight (8) #10 x 3/4” Round head square drive screws
holding each Panel to the Corner Extrusions. Start with Top
Panels and work your way down, setting Panels and hard-
ware aside for reassembly. When removing Side Wall Pan-
els, lift up and angle Panel away from Rear Corner Extru-
sion first, then remove from Front Corner Extrusion.

mind, the Pod has casters and final positioning of Pod will
occur after assembly.
If seismic feet are provided, but not attached, attach (4)
total by threading on in each corner.
8. Attach Rear Corner Extrusions to Floor Base:
Match colored labels on Floor Base with colored labels on
each Corner Extrusion. Note: colored labels (Red, Yellow,
Blue) represent color label of each wall. With notched side
up, attach each Rear Corner Extrusion to the Floor Base
using two (2) provided 3/8 x 1-3/4" serrated flange bolts.
To allow adjustment, only hand tighten bolts (snug). Fully
tighten after Step 12.
6. Remove Rear Corner Extrusions from Floor Base:
Remove two (2) 3/8 x 1-3/4" Serrated Flange Bolts per cor-
ner, holding each Corner Extrusion to Floor Base. Set aside
hardware for reassembly.
After Corner Extrusions are removed, all components are
ready to move to final location for assembly.
5. Remove Front Frame Assembly from Floor Base:
Use provided 9/16” wrench to remove four (4) 3/8 x 1-3/4"
Serrated Flange bolts holding Front Corner Extrusions to
Floor Base. Set aside hardware for reassembly. DO NOT
remove the top Header or Sill piece connecting Front Cor-
