6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your ErGear Single Monitor Arm, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the arm and base with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
- Periodic Checks: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Lubrication: No lubrication is required for the gas spring mechanism.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your monitor arm, refer to the following common solutions:
- Monitor Sags or Won't Stay Up: The gas spring tension is too low. Refer to Section 5: Tension Adjustment and turn the screw counter-clockwise to increase tension.
- Monitor Rises or Won't Stay Down: The gas spring tension is too high. Refer to Section 5: Tension Adjustment and turn the screw clockwise to reduce tension.
- Arm Movement is Stiff: Check for any obstructions. Ensure all pivot points are free to move. If the tension is too high, adjust it as described above.
- Wobbling: Ensure the desk clamp or grommet base is securely tightened to the desk. Also, check that the VESA plate is firmly attached to the monitor and the monitor is securely mounted to the arm. The arm features a 40% wider VESA head and tighter-fitting VESA panel for enhanced stability.
