Step 2: Assemble the Arm to the Pole

Attach the gas spring arm to the main pole. Ensure it slides smoothly and is secured with the provided collar and screws.

Step 3: Attach VESA Plate to Monitor

Carefully attach the VESA plate to the back of your monitor using the appropriate screws and spacers from the hardware kit. Ensure the VESA pattern (75x75mm or 100x100mm) matches your monitor.

Step 4: Mount Monitor to Arm

Slide the monitor (with VESA plate attached) onto the arm's mounting head. Secure it with the locking screw or mechanism.

Gas Spring Tension Adjustment

If your monitor sags or floats, you need to adjust the gas spring tension. Use the provided Allen wrench to turn the adjustment screw:

• Turn clockwise: For lighter monitors (to reduce tension).
• Turn counter-clockwise: For heavier monitors (to increase tension).

Adjust gradually until the monitor stays at your desired height without drifting.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and smooth operation of your WALI monitor arm.

• Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Periodic Checks: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they are secure. Retighten if necessary.
• Gas Spring: The gas spring is designed for long-term use and generally requires no maintenance. Do not attempt to disassemble the gas spring cylinder.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your monitor arm, refer to the following common problems and solutions.

• Problem: Monitor sags or does not stay at desired height.
  Solution: The gas spring tension needs adjustment. Turn the gas spring adjustment screw counter-clockwise to increase tension for heavier monitors.
• Problem: Monitor floats up too easily or cannot be pushed down.
  Solution: The gas spring tension is too high. Turn the gas spring adjustment screw clockwise to decrease tension for lighter monitors.
• Problem: Monitor wobbles or feels unstable.
  Solution: Ensure all mounting screws (VESA plate to monitor, arm to pole, clamp/grommet to desk) are securely tightened. Check if the desk surface is stable.
• Problem: Monitor does not fit the VESA plate.
  Solution: Verify your monitor's VESA pattern (75x75mm or 100x100mm) matches the arm's compatibility.
