- Cleaning: Clean the mount with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Periodic Checks: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Lubrication: No lubrication is required for the moving parts.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Monitors are not stable or wobble. | Mount not securely fastened to desk; VESA screws loose; monitor weight exceeds capacity. | Ensure C-clamp or grommet base is tightened. Check VESA screws on monitors. Verify monitor weight is within 22 lbs (10 kg) per arm. |
| Difficulty adjusting monitor position (too stiff). | Joints are too tight. | Loosen the adjustment screws on the arm joints slightly using the provided Allen keys. |
| Monitor sags or tilts downwards. | Tilt mechanism is loose. | Tighten the tilt adjustment screw located on the VESA plate connection point. |
| Cannot install mount on desk. | Desk thickness or material incompatible. | Check desk thickness against specifications (C-clamp: 0.39-3.35 inches; Grommet: 0.39-3.15 inches). Ensure desk is not made of PB, MDF, or glass. |
