Maintenance

• Periodic Checks: Regularly check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Retighten as necessary.
• Lubrication: No lubrication is required for this product.

Troubleshooting

Problem: Monitor arm is unstable or wobbles.

Solution: Ensure the desk clamp or grommet mount is securely tightened to the desk. Check that all connections on the arms and VESA plates are fastened properly. Verify that the monitor weight does not exceed the maximum capacity of 22 lbs (10 kg) per arm.

Problem: Monitor does not stay in desired position (e.g., tilts down).

Solution: The tension for tilt or swivel might need adjustment. Refer to the specific instructions in your hardware kit for adjusting tension screws on the VESA plate or arm joints. Use the provided tools to tighten these adjustments until the monitor holds its position.

Problem: Difficulty in adjusting height.

Solution: Loosen the height adjustment knob or lever on the central pole before attempting to move the arms. Ensure no cables are snagged, preventing movement. Retighten after adjustment.
