4. Setup Instructions
4.1. Pre-Installation Checklist
- Ensure your monitor's size is between 13-32 inches.
- Verify your monitor's weight is between 4.4-17.6 lbs.
- Confirm your monitor has VESA 75x75mm or 100x100mm mounting holes.
- Check your desk thickness and type for compatibility with C-clamp or grommet mount.

4.2. Installation Options
The Redragon GMK914 offers two primary installation methods:
Figure 4.3: Visual representation of the C-Clamp Mount and Grommet Mount options.
4.2.1. C-Clamp Mount
This method is suitable for desks with a thickness between 0.39 and 4.53 inches (10-115mm).
- Attach the C-clamp base to the main pole of the monitor arm.
- Position the C-clamp on the edge of your desk.
- Tighten the clamp screw until the mount is securely fastened to the desk. Ensure it is stable and does not wobble.
4.2.2. Grommet Mount
This method requires a pre-drilled hole in your desk with a diameter between 0.39 and 2.36 inches (10-60mm), and is suitable for desk thicknesses between 0.39 and 3.15 inches (10-80mm).
- Disassemble the C-clamp components from the base if they are attached.
- Insert the grommet base through the pre-drilled hole in your desk.
- Secure the grommet base from underneath the desk using the provided plate and tightening knob/screw.
4.3. Attaching the Monitor
- Attach the VESA plate to the back of your monitor using the appropriate VESA screws (M4 or M6, depending on your monitor). Ensure the screws are tightened securely but do not overtighten.
- Slide the monitor (with the attached VESA plate) onto the VESA head of the monitor arm until it clicks into place.
- Secure the monitor to the arm by tightening any safety screws or clips on the VESA head.

5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Adjusting Monitor Position
The gas spring arm allows for smooth and flexible adjustments to achieve your optimal viewing angle.
- Height Adjustment: Gently push or pull the monitor up or down to adjust its height. The gas spring mechanism will hold it in place. The arm allows for up to 10 inches of height adjustment, with a minimum height of 6.3 inches and a maximum height of 16.3 inches from the desk surface.
- Extension/Retraction: Push or pull the arm horizontally to extend or retract the monitor's distance from you, up to a maximum extension of 19.27 inches.
- Tilt: Tilt the monitor screen up (+90°) or down (-45°) to reduce glare and optimize viewing.
- Swivel: Swivel the monitor left or right up to 180° at the arm's base and at the VESA plate connection.
- Rotation: Rotate the monitor 360° to switch between landscape and portrait orientations.

5.2. Gas Spring Tension Adjustment
The gas spring tension may need to be adjusted to properly support your monitor's weight. This ensures the monitor stays at the desired height without drifting up or down.
- Hold the monitor arm in a horizontal position.
- Locate the gas spring adjustment screw on the arm (usually covered by a cap).
- Use the provided hex key to turn the screw:
- Turn clockwise ("-" direction) to reduce tension for lighter monitors (monitor raises up).
- Turn counter-clockwise ("+" direction) to increase tension for heavier monitors (monitor drops down).
- Adjust gradually and test the arm's movement. It may take several turns (up to 17 turns) to find the correct tension.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your monitor mount.
- Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
- Check Connections: Periodically check all screws and bolts, especially those securing the mount to the desk and the monitor to the arm, to ensure they remain tight.
- Gas Spring Check: If the monitor begins to sag or rise unexpectedly, re-adjust the gas spring tension as described in Section 5.2.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Monitor sags or does not stay at desired height. | Gas spring tension is too low for monitor weight. | Increase gas spring tension (turn "+" direction) using the hex key. Refer to Section 5.2. |
| Monitor floats up or is difficult to push down. | Gas spring tension is too high for monitor weight. | Decrease gas spring tension (turn "-" direction) using the hex key. Refer to Section 5.2. |
| Mount is unstable or wobbles. | C-clamp/Grommet base not tightened sufficiently. | Re-tighten the C-clamp or grommet base screws securely to the desk. Ensure desk compatibility. |
| Monitor cannot be tilted or is too loose. | Tilt joint screw is too tight or too loose. | Adjust the tilt joint screw on the VESA head. Loosen slightly if too stiff, tighten if too loose. Refer to Figure 5.4. |
