4.4. Mount Monitors to Arms

4.5. Adjust Gas Spring Tension

1. The gas spring tension may need adjustment to properly support your monitor's weight.
2. Locate the tension adjustment screw on the arm (usually near the VESA plate or the arm pivot point).
3. If the monitor sags, turn the screw clockwise to increase tension. If the monitor floats up too easily, turn the screw counter-clockwise to decrease tension. Adjust until the monitor stays in place when moved.

4.6. Cable Management

1. Route your monitor cables (power, video) through the integrated cable management clips or channels on the monitor arms and down the main pole.
2. This helps keep your workspace organized and prevents cable clutter.
