Adjusting Monitor Mount Resistance
Warning: Forced movement of the Mount Bracket without loosening the screws may
damage the product or the mounted display.
Always support your display from underneath when making any adjustments to the
LCD Arm or Mount Bracket to avoid damage to the display.
Note: For all adjustments outlined below, turning the screw clockwise will increase the
resistance, while turning the screw counter-clockwise will decrease resistance.
To increase / decrease the spring resistance, adjust the screw located on the top of the
arm, using the 6mm Allen Wrench (4). The indicator area on the arm is for reference
only, but can be used to approximate the appropriate resistance for your monitor by
weight.

To increase / decrease the tilt resistance, adjust the set screw located on the side of the
Monitor Mount joint, using the 6mm Allen Wrench (4).
To increase / decrease swivel resistance, adjust the set screws located beneath the
swivel points using a Phillips screwdriver, or on the base of the arm using the 3mm
Allen Wrench (5).
