| Monitor sags or does not stay at desired height. | Spring tension is too low for the monitor's weight. | Increase spring tension by turning the adjustment screw clockwise with the provided Allen wrench. |
| Monitor arm is too stiff to move. | Spring tension is too high. | Decrease spring tension by turning the adjustment screw counter-clockwise. |
| Monitor wobbles or feels unstable. | Mounting screws are loose or desk clamp/grommet is not secure. | Check and tighten all mounting screws and the desk clamp/grommet mechanism. Ensure the desk surface is stable. |
