• C-Clamp Mounting: Suitable for desks with a thickness between 0.4 inches and 3.85 inches.
• Grommet Base Mounting: Requires a desk hole with a diameter of at least 1.65 inches.

2. Attach Base to Desk

Securely attach the chosen base to your desk according to the instructions provided in the hardware kit. Ensure the base is tightened firmly to prevent movement.

3. Attach VESA Plate to Monitor

The monitor arm supports VESA patterns of 75x75mm and 100x100mm. Attach the VESA plate to the back of your monitor using the appropriate screws from the hardware kit. Ensure the screws are tightened securely but do not overtighten.

Operating and Adjustments

The Suptek MD71L monitor arm offers extensive adjustability for an ergonomic setup.

Gas Spring Adjustment

The gas spring mechanism allows for smooth height adjustments. Adjust the tension to match your monitor's weight for optimal movement. Use the included Allen wrench to turn the adjustment screw:

• Turn clockwise (+) to increase tension for heavier monitors.
• Turn counter-clockwise (-) to decrease tension for lighter monitors.

• Height Adjustment: The arm provides a height range from 8.26 inches to 19.9 inches.
• Tilt: Adjust the monitor tilt from +20° to -10°.
• Swivel: Swivel the monitor 180° (90° left, 90° right).
• Rotation: Rotate the monitor 360° for horizontal or vertical orientation.
• Arm Extension: The arm can extend up to 18.7 inches.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your monitor arm.

• Cleaning: Wipe the arm and base with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Tightness Check: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
• Gas Spring: If the monitor arm does not hold its position, readjust the gas spring tension as described in the "Operating and Adjustments" section.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your monitor arm, refer to the following common solutions:

• Monitor Sags or Does Not Hold Position:
  • The gas spring tension may be too low for your monitor's weight. Increase the gas spring tension by turning the adjustment screw clockwise (+).
  • Ensure your monitor's weight does not exceed the maximum capacity of 46.2 lbs.
• Monitor Arm is Too Stiff to Move:
  • The gas spring tension may be too high. Decrease the gas spring tension by turning the adjustment screw counter-clockwise (-).
• Monitor Wobbles:
  • Ensure the desk clamp or grommet base is securely tightened to the desk.
  • Verify that the VESA plate is firmly attached to both the monitor and the arm.
  • A less sturdy desk may contribute to wobbling. Consider reinforcing the desk or using a more stable mounting surface.
• Missing Parts or Damaged Components:
  • Contact Suptek customer support for assistance.
