Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the monitor arm with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Troubleshooting

• Monitor sags or does not hold position: Ensure the VESA plate screws are tight. For tilt adjustment, use the provided hex key to increase the tension on the tilt mechanism. For height adjustment, ensure the lever on the main pole is fully tightened.
• Arm is unstable: Check that the desk clamp or grommet mount is securely fastened to the desk. Ensure the desk surface is stable and can support the weight of the monitor and arm.
