Your monitor should move up and down easily and stay in position.
If the monitor moves down from the desired position, or is hard to lift, you should
increase the counterbalance force. If the monitor moves up from the desired position
you should decrease the counterbalance force.
1. Push the Upper Link (A) down until the Adjustment Screw (B) is visible.
2. Using the appropriate hex key (4 mm for M2.1, 5 mm for M8.1) turn the
Adjustment Screw clockwise (towards +) to increase force, or counter-clock
wise (towards –) to decrease force. Turn the Adjustment Screw (B) until the
monitor is balanced.
4. Move the monitor around to ensure that the motion is smooth and the arm
holds the monitor in place.
NOTE: When installing several of the same monitors, note the position of the needle
in the indicator (C) on top of the arm. Adjust the other arms to match.
CAUTION: Do not over-tighten the Adjustment Screw as it can damage the Arm.
Monitors Should Not Exceed:
15.5 lbs (7 Kg) for M2.1
28 lbs (12.7 Kg) for M8.1
Total Weight Not To Exceed 60 lbs (27.2 Kg)
