Tension Adjustment:

If the monitor does not stay in the desired vertical position, the spring tension needs adjustment. Use the provided hex key to turn the adjustment screw on the arm. Turn clockwise to increase tension for heavier monitors, and counter-clockwise to decrease tension for lighter monitors. Adjust gradually until the monitor holds its position.
