Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Ergotron LX Pro Monitor Arm.
- Cleaning: Wipe the arm and mount surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
- Check Connections: Periodically inspect all mounting screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Cable Management: Ensure cables are properly routed and not pinched or stressed, which could lead to damage.
- Tension Adjustment: If you change monitors or notice the arm is not holding its position correctly, re-adjust the tension using the tension indicator as described in the operating instructions.
Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your monitor arm.
Arm Does Not Hold Monitor Weight
- Verify Weight: Ensure your monitor's weight is within the specified range of 4 to 22 lbs. Monitors outside this range may not be adequately supported.
- Adjust Tension: The most common cause for this issue is incorrect tension adjustment. Refer to the "Adjust Tension" step in the Setup section and the "New Tension Indicator" in the Operating section. Rotate the tension screw clockwise to increase tension for heavier monitors.
- Check Mounting: Ensure the arm is securely mounted to the wall and all connections are tight. A loose mount can affect stability.
Limited Range of Motion
- Check Rotation Stop: If the arm's side-to-side motion is restricted, verify if the optional rotation stop feature is engaged. Disengage it if full rotation is desired and wall protection is not a concern.
- Obstructions: Ensure there are no physical obstructions preventing the arm from moving freely.
Wobbly Monitor
- Tighten Connections: Check all screws and bolts connecting the monitor to the VESA plate, the VESA plate to the arm, and the arm segments themselves.
- Secure Wall Mount: Ensure the wall mount base is firmly attached to the wall.
