5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Attaching a Display (Monitor/Tablet Enclosure)
- Ensure your display (monitor or tablet enclosure) has a 75x75mm or 100x100mm VESA mounting pattern.
- Align the VESA mounting holes on your display with the holes on the cart's VESA plate.
- Secure the display using the appropriate screws provided with your display or the cart's hardware kit. Do not overtighten.
- Verify the display is firmly attached before releasing it.
5.2. Adjusting Height
To adjust the height of the workstation, locate the height adjustment mechanism on the main pole. This typically involves a lever or knob that, when released, allows the pole to slide up or down. Securely lock the mechanism once the desired height is achieved.
5.3. Adjusting VESA Arm and Tilt
- Arm Extension: Gently pull or push the articulating arms to extend or retract the display to your desired distance.
- Tilt Adjustment: The VESA plate can tilt up to 90 degrees up or down. Adjust the tilt by gently pushing the top or bottom of the mounted display. Some models may have a tension knob to secure the tilt angle.
- Pan Adjustment: The monitor arm can be panned left or right for optimal viewing angles.
5.4. Locking and Unlocking Casters
Each of the four casters is equipped with a locking mechanism. To lock a caster, press down on the lever or tab until it clicks into place. To unlock, lift the lever or tab. Ensure all casters are locked when the cart needs to remain stationary and unlocked when mobility is desired.
