7.2. Gas Spring Tension Adjustment

If your monitor does not stay in the desired vertical position, the gas spring tension may need adjustment. Use the provided Allen key to adjust the tension screw located on the arm.

• For Heavier Monitors: Turn the screw counter-clockwise to increase tension.

Adjust gradually and test the monitor's movement until it holds its position securely.

• Periodic Inspection: Regularly check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Lubrication: The gas spring mechanism is maintenance-free and does not require lubrication.

9. Troubleshooting

• Monitor Does Not Hold Position: Adjust the gas spring tension as described in Section 7.2. Ensure your monitor's weight is within the specified capacity.
• Mount Feels Unstable: Verify that all wall mounting screws are securely tightened and that the mount is installed into a suitable wall structure (wood stud, concrete, or brick). Do not use drywall anchors for this type of mount.
• Difficulty Moving Arms: Check if the gas spring tension is too high for lighter monitors. Adjust clockwise to reduce tension. Ensure no cables are snagged.
