Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to correctly install your dual monitor mount.

Step 1: Choose Mounting Method

The MI-752 supports two installation methods: C-Clamp or Grommet Base. Select the method suitable for your desk.

C-Clamp Installation

1. Attach the C-clamp assembly to the bottom of the central pole.
2. Position the mount on the edge of your desk. Ensure the desk thickness is between 0.4 inches (1 cm) and 4 inches (10 cm).
3. Tighten the C-clamp screws until the mount is securely fastened to the desk. Do not overtighten.

Grommet Base Installation

1. If your desk has a grommet hole, disassemble the C-clamp and attach the grommet base plate to the central pole.
2. Insert the central pole through the grommet hole.
3. Secure the grommet base from underneath the desk using the provided hardware.

Step 2: Attach Monitor Arms

Slide the monitor arms onto the central pole at your desired height. Use the included Allen wrench to tighten the set screw on each arm to secure its position.

Step 3: Attach Monitors

1. Carefully attach the VESA mounting plates (pre-attached to the arms) to the back of your monitors using the appropriate screws from the hardware kit. Ensure the VESA pattern (75x75mm or 100x100mm) matches your monitor.
2. Once the VESA plates are secured to the monitors, slide the monitors onto the arms.
3. Tighten any remaining screws to ensure the monitors are firmly attached to the arms.

Operating Instructions and Adjustments

The Mount-It! MI-752 offers various adjustment options for optimal viewing comfort.

Height Adjustment

To adjust the height of the monitors, loosen the set screw on the monitor arms where they attach to the central pole. Slide the arms up or down to the desired height, then re-tighten the set screw firmly.

Tilt, Swivel, and Rotation

The monitor arms allow for flexible positioning:

• Tilt: Monitors can tilt up or down by 15 degrees. Adjust the tilt mechanism on the VESA plate.
• Swivel: The arms can swivel 360 degrees left and right.
• Rotation: Monitors can rotate 180 degrees for landscape or portrait orientation without removal.

Cable Management

Integrated cable management clips are located on each arm and along the central pole. Route your monitor and power cables through these clips to maintain a tidy and organized workspace.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and safe operation of your monitor mount:

• Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Clean the mount with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Do not apply excessive force when adjusting the arms or monitors.

Troubleshooting

Monitors are not level or sag

• Ensure all VESA plate screws are securely tightened to the monitor and the arm.
• Check the tightness of the pivot points on the monitor arms. Adjust with the provided Allen wrench if needed.
• Verify that the desk surface itself is level. Minor desk imperfections can be amplified by the mount.

Mount feels unstable

• Re-check the C-clamp or grommet base installation. Ensure it is firmly secured to the desk and the desk thickness is within the specified range.
• Confirm that the combined weight of your monitors does not exceed the mount's capacity.

Difficulty adjusting monitor position

• Ensure no cables are snagged or obstructing movement.
• Check the tension of the joints. Some joints may have adjustable tension screws that can be loosened slightly with an Allen wrench if movement is too stiff.
