4. Setup Instructions
4.1. Mounting the VESA Plate to Your Monitor
- Carefully place your monitor face down on a soft, clean surface.
- Identify the VESA mounting holes on the back of your monitor. These are typically in a square pattern (75x75mm or 100x100mm).
- Select the appropriate screws (M4 or M5) and washers from the hardware kit that fit your monitor's VESA holes. Ensure screws are not too long to avoid damaging internal components.
- Attach the VESA mounting plate to the back of your monitor using the selected screws and washers. Tighten securely.

4.2. Mounting the Arm to the Wall
- Determine the desired mounting location on your wall. Use a stud finder to locate a wood stud for optimal support. For concrete or brick walls, use appropriate anchors (provided in the hardware kit).
- Hold the wall plate against the wall at the desired height and mark the drill holes.
- Drill pilot holes according to the recommended drill bit size for your wall type.
- Secure the wall plate to the wall using the lag bolts and washers. Ensure it is firmly attached and level.

4.3. Attaching the Monitor to the Arm
- Carefully lift the monitor (with the VESA plate attached) and align it with the arm's mounting head.
- Slide the VESA plate onto the arm's mounting head until it clicks into place or is securely seated.
- Install any safety screws or locking mechanisms as indicated in the manual to prevent accidental detachment.

4.4. Tension Adjustment
The gas spring tension needs to be adjusted according to your monitor's weight to ensure smooth and stable movement.
- Use the provided Allen key to adjust the tension screw located on the arm.
- Turn clockwise for lighter monitors (to increase tension).
- Turn counter-clockwise for heavier monitors (to decrease tension).
- Adjust until the monitor stays in position when moved and can be adjusted with minimal effort.

6. Cable Management
The integrated cable management system helps keep your workspace tidy and organized.

- Ensure cables have enough slack to allow for full range of motion without tension.
- Secure cables to prevent them from snagging or interfering with arm movement.

7. Maintenance
- Regularly check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight.
- Clean the mount with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Do not lubricate the gas spring mechanism unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer.
8. Troubleshooting
- Monitor sags or does not hold position: The gas spring tension may be too low for your monitor's weight. Increase tension by turning the adjustment screw clockwise with the provided Allen key.
- Monitor is difficult to move or too stiff: The gas spring tension may be too high. Decrease tension by turning the adjustment screw counter-clockwise.
- Mount feels unstable: Recheck all wall mounting screws and VESA plate screws to ensure they are securely tightened. Confirm the wall type is appropriate for the installation method used.
