Installation Instructions
Follow these steps to install your BigPassport M252 Monitor Arm:
Step 1: Attach the Mounting Bracket
Choose either the C-clamp or grommet mount. For the C-clamp, position it on the edge of your desk and tighten securely. For the grommet mount, insert it through a desk hole and secure it from underneath.

Step 2: Mount the Monitor Arm to the Bracket
Attach the main arm pole to the installed desk bracket. This usually involves inserting the pole into the bracket and securing it with a locking screw or pin.

Step 3: Attach the VESA Plate to the Monitor
Identify the VESA mounting holes on the back of your monitor (typically 75x75mm or 100x100mm). Use the appropriate screws (e.g., M6x8) from the hardware kit to attach the VESA plate to the monitor. Ensure the plate is oriented correctly (often indicated by an arrow pointing upwards).

Step 4: Hang the Monitor on the Arm
Carefully lift the monitor and hook the VESA plate onto the arm's mounting bracket. Secure the monitor to the arm using any provided safety clips or screws.

Step 5: Adjust Gas Spring Tension
With the monitor attached, adjust the gas spring tension using the provided Allen wrench. Turn the tension screw (often marked '+' for tighter, '-' for looser) until the arm can hold the monitor at any desired height without drifting up or down. This is crucial for smooth movement.

Step 6: Final Adjustments
Adjust the tilt and swivel angles as needed. Ensure all connections are secure.
