6.3 Tension Adjustment
The arms are equipped with gas springs for smooth movement. If an arm is too stiff or sags, adjust the tension using the provided Allen key:
- Lower your device (clockwise): Reduce tension.
- Raise your device (counter-clockwise): Increase tension.

| Arm is too stiff to move. | Gas spring tension is too high. | Decrease gas spring tension (turn clockwise) using the provided Allen key. Refer to Section 6.3. |
| Mount feels unstable on the desk. | Mounting base is not securely tightened. | Ensure the C-clamp or grommet base is fully tightened to the desk. Check desk thickness compatibility. |
