MONITOR MOUNT
for 17 to 32 in. Desktop Computer Monitors
LeviTouchDM-550

2
The Gabor Single-Arm Desktop Mount can securely support a monitor
from 17 to 32 inches. The stylish yet rugged aluminum build will hold a
monitor weighing up to 19.8 pounds, and the adjustable spring tension
mechanism makes it easy to move your monitor to the perfect viewing
height. The mount gives you maximum control over swivel, tilt, and
rotation, precise monitor placement, and optimum viewing angles.
The articulating arm has adjustable spring tension that ensures monitor
stability. The included VESA plate accommodates monitors with 75 × 75
and 100 × 100 VESA patterns, and it features an integrated lock to
ensure monitor safety when adjusting screen height. A heavy-duty,
low-profile clamp and base will fit into any space with tight clearance,
like a cubicle. For mid-desk attachment, the stand includes mounting
hardware for grommet installation.
Thank you for choosing Gabor.

1. Attach the flange (E) to the base (F) with
the three hex screws (J). Tighten them with
hex key (N) until secure.
2. Fit the flange behind the desk. You may
need to remove the flange bolts if the space
between the desk and wall is too tight.
3. Before you attach the clamp to the flange,
measure the thickness of the table or
desktop.
• If the desktop is 0.4 to 2 inches thick, screw
the flange bolts into the top holes.
• If the desktop is 2 to 3.3 inches thick,
remove the flange bolts from the top holes,
and screw them into the bottom holes.
To attach the clamp to the flange, fit the
wide end of the clamp holes over the flange
bolts, and press down on the clamp so it
securely sits on the flange bolts.
Important! The clamp should rest on the flange
bolts. If the clamp is not parallel to the bottom
of the base, loosen the flange bolts until the
clamp rests entirely on them.
4. Tighten the flange bolts with hex key (N)
until secure.
5. With the flange flush against the edge of
the desktop, tighten the clamp locking knob
until the base is secured to the desktop.
Parts Included
Important! Predrilled holes in the desktop should be between of 0.4 to 2.4 inches (10 to 60 mm)
in diameter.
1. If you need to drill a hole in
the desktop, use a 3/8-inch
or 10 mm drill bit.

Important! Before you attach the VESA plate,
hand thread one of the M-A or M-B screws to
determine which one fits your monitor.
Make sure the screw is also not too long or too
short. If the screw is too long, it may damage
the display. If it’s too short, it may not hold it.
Place an M-C washer on each of the screws, and install the VESA
plate directly to your monitor by tightening the screws with hex
key (N).
Important! The screws should be tightened until snug. Don’t
overtighten.
