6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Adjusting Gas Spring Tension
The gas spring arms allow for smooth, effortless monitor positioning. It is crucial to adjust the tension to match the weight of your monitors. Use the provided Allen wrench to turn the screw at the top of the arm:
- Turn counter-clockwise (towards '+') for heavier monitors if the monitor is dropping.
- Turn clockwise (towards '-') for lighter monitors if the monitor is springing back up.

Once tension is set, you can freely adjust your monitors for optimal viewing:
- Tilt: Adjust the monitor angle (+90°/-45°) to reduce glare and improve viewing comfort.
- Swivel: Rotate the monitor horizontally (180°) to share your screen or change viewing angles.
- Rotation: Pivot the monitor (360°) to switch between landscape and portrait orientation.
- Height Adjustment: The gas spring arms allow for vertical movement. The middle monitor can also be adjusted independently along the main pole.
