5.4 Tension Adjustment
The gas spring arm requires tension adjustment to properly support your monitor's weight. Use the included Allen key to adjust the tension screw located on the arm. Turn clockwise to increase tension for heavier monitors, and counter-clockwise to decrease tension for lighter monitors. Adjust until the monitor stays in position when moved.
