Step 【1】Wood Wall Installation
Drilling into electrical wires or cables can cause serious personal injury! Always make
certain area behind mounting area is free of electrical wires and cables before drilling or
installing.
Improper installation can lead to mount falling causing severe personal injury or damage
to equipment. It is the installer’s responsibility to make sure the combined weight of all
components does not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 17.6lbs (8kg). The
manufacturer accepts no responsibility for incorrect installation.
Wood Wall Installation
1. Use an electronic stud finder to locate the wooden beam. Place the Wall Plate (3) on
the wall and mark the pilot holes with a pencil (See Figure 1-1).

certain area behind mounting area is free of electrical wires and cables before drilling or
installing.
Improper installation can lead to mount falling causing severe personal injury or damage
to equipment. It is the installer’s responsibility to make sure the combined weight of all
components does not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 17.6lbs (8kg) per arm. The
manufacturer accepts no responsibility for incorrect installation.
Masonry Wall Installation
1. Place the Wall Plate (3) on the wall and mark the pilot holes (See Figure 1-4).
2. Ensure that the pilot holes are straight and centered. Proceed to drill pilot holes
2.36” into wall (See Figure 1-5).

3. Insert the Anchor (7) into pilot hole and gently tap with a hammer until the Anchor (7)
is fully engaged into the wall (See Figure 1-6).
4. Insert the Philips Screw ST6.3x65mm (4) through the Washer (9), Wall Plate (3) and
into the Anchor (7). Securely tighten the screws with a Philips screwdriver. Do not
over tighten (See Figure 1-7).

Step 【2】Display Installation
Using improper screws or screw size may damage your monitor. If spacers are required,
be sure to use screws of the correct size. Proper screws will easily and completely thread
into the monitor mounting holes. Inadequate thread engagement in the monitor may
cause the monitor to fall.
It is the installer's responsibility to make sure the combined weight of all components does
not exceed the weight capacity of 17.6 lbs (8kg). Exceeding weight capacity can result in
severe personal injury or damage to equipment.
Gas Spring Arm will only work when a monitor is properly installed.
Note:All Spacers or Screws used should be the same length.
Attaching the Display
1. Ensure the VESA bracket (1) can swivel and tilt easily (See Figure 2-1). If necessary,
adjust the tension before proceeding to the next step.
2. Carefully place the display face down on protective surface (See Figure 2-2).
Figure 2-2

Page 10
3. Determine depth of recessed mounting holes relative to the back of the surface of the
monitor and select proper length of Screws (11、12) or Knobs (17).
4. Place the Gas Spring Arm (1) on the back of the display and align the mounting holes
with the VESA bracket. Thread the proper Screws (11、12) through the VESA bracket
and into the back of the monitor (See Figure 2-3).
5. Using a Phillips screwdriver, tighten the screws until the VESA bracket is firmly
attached to the monitor. Do not over tighten the screws. Stop immediately once you
encounter resistance (See Figure 2-4).
Note:All Spacers or Screws used should be the same length.

Step 【3】Attaching Articulating Arm Assembly
Gas Spring Arm will only work when a monitor is properly installed.
Attaching the Articulating Arm Assembly
1. Install the Extension Arm (2) onto Wall Plate (3) (See Figure 3-1).
2. Place the Cover (14) on the pivot point. Place the Phillips Screw M6x12mm (15)
through the Gasket (16) and into the bottom of the Wall Plate (3). Securely tighten the
screw with a Phillips Screwdriver. Do not over tighten. The arm cover is used to help
secure the extension arm (See Figure 3-2).

3. Install the Gas Spring Arm (1) onto the Extension Arm (2) (See Figure 3-3).
4. Place the arm Cover (14) on the pivot point. Place the Phillips Screw M6x12mm (15)
through the Plastic Washer M6 (13)and into the bottom of the pivot point. Securely
tighten screw with a Phillips Screwdriver. Do not over tighten (See Figure 3-4).

Step 【4】Cable Management
Ensure that the gas spring arm is fully extended before connecting the cables.
Exercise caution when attaching or removing the display to avoid personal injury or
damage to equipment. Disconnect power before removing the display.
Note: Be sure to leave enough slack in the cables to allow for movement of the arm.
Installing Cable Management
1. Adjust the arm to its fully extended position to ensure that the cables are not stretched or
pulled when the monitor is moved. Connect cables to monitor (See Figure 4-1).
2. Feed the cables through the underside of the arms and push them into the cable entry
slots. Then proceed to install the Cable Covers (8) to secure the cables (See Figure 4-2).

Step 【5】Adjusting the Display Monitor
Forced movement of the gas spring arm or VESA bracket may damage the unit. Before
adjusting, disconnect the power of the monitor to avoid excess damage. Make the
necessary adjustments, ensure that the monitor is supported and the proper screws are
loosened.
Exercise caution when adjusting the monitor to avoid damage to equipment. Disconnect
power before removing the monitor.
Note: The gas spring arm comes factory set to support a 17.6 lbs (8 kg) monitor. Be
sure to adjust the arm to suit the weight of the monitor.
Adjusting the Resistance
1. Depending on the weight of the monitor, the resistance on the gas spring arm may
need to be adjusted. To make the necessary adjustments, loosen/tighten the tension
screw located at the corner of the articulating arm using the provided 4mm Allen
wrench (5) (See Figure 5-1).
Figure 5-1

Page 15
Adjusting the Mount Bracket Resistance
1. To adjust the resistance on the VESA bracket, use the provided 6mm hex Allen
wrench (6) to loosen or tighten the hex screw until you have reached your desired
position (See Figure 5-2).
2. This bracket features +/-90° Swivel (See Figure 5-3).
Figure 5-3
Figure 5-2

Page 16
3. To adjust the height, remove the Extension arm (2) from wall plate (3). Reattach the
Gas SpringArm to wall plate (1) (See Figure 5-4).
4. The gas spring arm can lift up 60° and down 30° (See Figure 5-5). At the wall plate,
the mount has a swivel range of 180°, 360° at the pivot point and 180° at the monitor
interface (See Figure 5-6).

Step 【6】Ergonomic Guidelines
Note: Proper ergonomic design is necessary to prevent repetitive strain injuries, which
can develop over time and can lead to long-term disabilities.
1. To ensure the correct focal distance for ultimate visual comfort, a viewing distance
between 18" (460mm) to24" (610mm) is recommended (See Figure6-1).

Page 18
Figure 6-2
2. Agronomists recommend that the proper screen position should be slightly below eye
level. The suggested viewing angle should be approximately 10-20° downward onto the
center of the screen. The lumbar (bottom five vertebrate in the spine) needs to be
supported to decrease disc pressure. Using a chair that provides lumbar support is
critical in preventing excessive pressure on the lower back. The proper ergonomic
seating position requires the wrists to be straight and a 90° seat and knee angle. To
reduce reflection on your screen, tilt the monitor forward or backwards 5 to 15° (See
Figure 6-2).
