Setup and Installation
Step 1: Install the C-Clamp Base
- Place the C-clamp base on the edge of your desk.
- Ensure the desk thickness is between 0.39 and 2.76 inches.
- Tighten the C-clamp screw until the base is securely fastened to the desk. Do not overtighten.

Step 2: Assemble the VESA Extender (if needed)
If your monitor has a VESA pattern larger than 100x100mm (e.g., 200x100mm or 200x200mm), use the VESA extender bracket.
- Attach the two extender brackets to the VESA extender plate using the provided screws. Ensure the ridge on the extender plate aligns with the brackets for a secure fit.
- Securely fasten the extender assembly to your monitor's VESA mounting holes using the appropriate screws from the hardware kit.

Step 3: Attach Monitor to Arm
- Slide the monitor (with or without the VESA extender attached) onto the VESA head of the monitor arm.
- Secure the monitor to the VESA head using the provided screws. Ensure all screws are tightened to prevent the monitor from detaching.
Operating Instructions
Adjusting Monitor Position
The MOUNTUP monitor arm allows for flexible adjustment of your monitor's position to achieve optimal ergonomics.
- Height Adjustment: Gently push or pull the monitor up or down to the desired height. The gas spring mechanism will hold it in place.
- Tilt Adjustment: Tilt the monitor screen up or down to reduce glare and find a comfortable viewing angle.
- Swivel Adjustment: Rotate the monitor horizontally (left or right) to share your screen or change viewing direction.
- Rotation Adjustment: Rotate the monitor 360 degrees to switch between landscape and portrait orientation.
Tension Adjustment
If the monitor arm is too stiff or too loose, you may need to adjust the gas spring tension.
- Locate the tension adjustment screw on the arm (usually near the pivot points).
- Use the provided Allen wrench to turn the screw:
- Turn clockwise (-) to reduce tension (for lighter monitors or if the arm is too stiff).
- Turn counter-clockwise (+) to increase tension (for heavier monitors or if the arm sags).
- Adjust gradually and test the arm's movement after each adjustment until it holds your monitor securely at any position.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the monitor arm and VESA extender with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
- Periodic Checks: Regularly inspect all screws and connections (C-clamp, VESA plate, arm joints) to ensure they remain tight. Retighten any loose fasteners to maintain stability and safety.
- Lubrication: The gas spring mechanism is maintenance-free and does not require lubrication.
Troubleshooting
Monitor Sags or Does Not Hold Position
- Solution: The gas spring tension is likely too low for your monitor's weight. Increase the tension by turning the adjustment screw counter-clockwise (+) with the provided Allen wrench until the arm can hold the monitor in place.
- Check Weight: Ensure your monitor's weight is within the 4.4 - 33 lbs capacity.
Arm is Too Stiff to Move
- Solution: The gas spring tension is likely too high. Decrease the tension by turning the adjustment screw clockwise (-) with the provided Allen wrench.
Monitor Wobbles
- Solution: Check if the C-clamp is securely tightened to the desk. Ensure all VESA mounting screws are tight. Verify that the monitor arm joints are properly secured.
- Desk Stability: Ensure your desk itself is stable and not prone to wobbling.
