- If the arm drops: Turn the adjustment screw towards the "+" direction (clockwise) to increase tension.
Note: Always hold the monitor arm horizontally before and during adjustment to prevent sudden movement.

8.2. Monitor Screen Sagging or Stiff Movement
If the screen itself is sagging or feels stiff when tilting, swivel, or rotating, check the tightness of the screws at the VESA plate connection point. Tighten or loosen as needed to achieve desired movement.
