4. Setup and Installation
The ErGear monitor mount is designed for easy setup and comes with all necessary hardware. Follow the detailed instructions provided in the manual included with your product. There are two primary installation options:
- C-Clamp Mounting: Ideal for desks with a thickness between 0.39" and 3.15" (10-80mm). This method clamps the mount to the edge of your desk.
- Grommet Mount: Suitable for desks with existing grommet holes or if you prefer to drill a hole. This method fits desk thicknesses between 0.39" and 2.17" (10-55mm).
For optimal stability, it is recommended to install the mount on a sturdy wooden table. Ensure the bottom of your table is free of any beams or panels that might interfere with the installation process.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your ErGear Dual Monitor Stand:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the mount with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
- Tightening: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they are securely tightened. Over time, minor loosening may occur due to adjustments or vibrations. Use the provided Allen keys for adjustments.
- Cable Management: Ensure cables are properly routed through the integrated clips to prevent strain or damage. Re-route if necessary after significant adjustments.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your monitor stand, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Monitors wobble or are not stable. | Loose connections at the desk clamp/grommet or monitor attachment points. | Ensure the desk clamp/grommet is securely fastened to the desk. Tighten all screws connecting the VESA plate to the monitor and the arms to the pole. |
| Monitors tilt downwards or do not hold position. | Tilt mechanism is not tight enough, or monitor weight exceeds capacity. | Tighten the tilt adjustment knob/screw on the monitor arm. Verify that each monitor's weight does not exceed 17.6 lbs (8 kg). |
| Arms are too stiff or difficult to move. | Joints may be overtightened or require lubrication. | Slightly loosen the screws at the arm joints. If necessary, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts. |
| Desk is damaged by the clamp. | Over-tightening of the C-clamp. | Avoid excessive tightening of the C-clamp. Use protective padding between the clamp and the desk surface if your desk material is delicate. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact ErGear customer support for further assistance.
