8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Maclean MC-970W stand, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Stand is unstable or wobbly. | Loose assembly screws; uneven surface; overloaded. | Ensure all assembly screws are tightened securely. Place the stand on a flat, level surface. Verify the monitor weight is within the 2-10 kg range. |
| Monitor does not stay at desired height. | Gas spring tension needs adjustment; monitor weight outside range. | The gas spring tension may need adjustment. Locate the adjustment screw on the arm (refer to the detailed assembly instructions for its exact position) and adjust it to increase or decrease tension. Ensure monitor weight is within 2-10 kg. |
| Difficulty moving the stand. | Casters obstructed; debris on floor; stand overloaded. | Check if the casters are obstructed by debris or carpet. Clean the casters if necessary. Ensure the stand is not overloaded beyond its maximum capacity. |
| Monitor cannot tilt or swivel smoothly. | Adjustment knob too tight; mechanism stiff. | Loosen the tilt adjustment knob slightly. If the mechanism is stiff, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts (avoiding electrical components). |
