6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Mount-It! Single Monitor Stand, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your monitor stand, please refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Monitor is unstable or wobbles. | Loose connections; monitor weight exceeds capacity; uneven surface. | Ensure all screws, especially those connecting the pole to the base and the VESA plate to the monitor, are securely tightened. Verify your monitor's weight is within the 17.6 lbs limit. Place the stand on a flat, stable surface. |
| Difficulty adjusting height. | Adjustment knob is too tight; pole clamp is stuck. | Loosen the height adjustment knob sufficiently before attempting to move the monitor. Ensure no cables or obstructions are caught in the mechanism. |
| Monitor tilts forward/backward unexpectedly. | Tilt mechanism is not tightened enough. | Locate the tilt adjustment screw on the VESA plate assembly and tighten it firmly using the appropriate Allen wrench until the monitor holds its position. |
If these steps do not resolve your issue, please contact Mount-It! customer support for further assistance.
