Step 2.1 - Clamp Method
1. Peel the adhesive off the Base Cushion and attach it
to the underside of the Base.
2. Rest the Bottom Plate onto the Base’s bolt.
3. Fit the Base around the back of the desk and
tighten the Bolt & Bottom Plate into place using
the 6 mm Allen Wrench.
When placing the Bottom Plate on the Base’s bolt,
make sure the edge farthest from the hole is facing
the back of the Base and the edge closest to the hole
aligns with the front edge of the Bottom clamp. If
you’re attaching this to a UPLIFT V2 4-Leg Desk, this is
the only way it will t properly.
Note: If the clamp does not t on your desk edge, you
can increase or decrease the space between the clamp
by removing the bottom of the clamp and the Bolt,
and repositioning them. Using the 4 mm Allen Wrench,
unscrew the two screws holding the bottom of the
clamp (see g. 1).
For thinner desks (0.75’’ minimum), reassemble the
clamp as shown in g. 2. For thicker desks (3.75’’
maximum), reassemble the clamp, as shown in g. 3.
Note: If you’re mounting this to an UPLIFT V2 4-Leg
Desk, 2.5’’ will be the maximum thickness that will
work with the clamp.
Step 1
Determine your mounting method. There are two ways to
attach the Zilker Dual Monitor Arm to your desktop:
Clamp Method: If you would like to attach the monitor
arm along the back edge of your desktop, follow the
Clamp Method instructions (Steps 2.1) and ensure your
desk is between 0.4” and 3.3” thick.
Bolt-Through Method: If you prefer to attach the monitor
arm through your desktop, follow the Bolt-Through
Method instructions (Steps 2.2) and ensure your desk is
between 0.4” and 1.8” thick. Clamp Method Bolt-Through Method

Step 2.2 - Bolt-through Method
A. To mount your monitor arm through a hole in your
desktop, rst measure the hole. It must be between a
minimum of 0.4’’ and a maximum of 3.15’’ in diameter.
B. Prepare the Base for the Bolt-through mount by rst
loosening the screw under the clamp with the 6 mm
Allen Wrench.
Note: screw may be tight. Once removed, separate the
clamp assembly from the Base.
1. With the Base upside down, place the Base Plate in
the pocket where the clamp assembly was.
2. Peel the adhesive backing off of the Base Cushion
and attach it over the Base and Base Plate as
shown.
Place assembly completely over the hole, and facing
the front of desk.
Select a Long Bolt: the 50 mm Bolt ts desks 0.6’’ to
1.38’’ thick, and the 70 mm Bolt ts desks 1.38’’ to 2.13’’
thick. Insert the Long Bolt through the Bottom Plate.
Note: The Bottom Plate must straddle the hole’s
diameter. As long as the hole isn’t larger than 3.15’’
than the Bottom Plate will work.
Thread the bolt into the Base assembly by hand and
tighten using the 6 mm Allen Wrench.
Step 3
A. With the Base attached to the desk, it’s time to
assemble the remainder of the arm by next inserting
the Extension Arms into the Base.
Note: The Base comes with pre-installed stopping-
pins on each post, (see g. 4) which limits the arms’
rotation to 180 degrees. If you want a full 360 degree
rotation, remove these pins with the 1.5mm Allen
Wrench.
B. Once the Extension Arms are inserted, insert a Spring
Arm into each Extension Arm.

Step 4
A. After all components from Step 2 are in place, you
may choose to tighten the set screws which will lock
all the components together, and prevent them from
separating or drifting.
B. The set screws are located at each insertion point, and
marked in this instruction book with a “ ”.
• At the back of the Base, on each post where the
Extension Arms are inserted.
• At the top of each Extension Arm where the Spring
Arms are inserted.
C. Use the 2.5 mm Allen Wrench provided. Make sure not
to overtighten the set screws.
Step 5
Place your monitors face down on a at surface, making
sure not to scratch the screen. Next, attach the VESA
Mounts to the back of each monitor using a Phillips-head
screwdriver and four Monitor Screws each. The mount is
designed to t the industry standard VESA 75 mm & 100
mm hole patterns. Make sure the VESA Mount is securely
fastened to your monitor before moving on to the next
step.
Note: make sure the tab on each VESA Mount is facing
the top of each monitor.

Step 6
A. Insert your monitor and VESA Mount assembly into each
monitor joint at the end of each Spring Arm. Hold it rmly
as you insert it until you feel it click into place.
B. The Zilker Spring Arm tension is factory set for the
lightest monitor weight. To adjust the tension if the
monitor is too heavy for the minimum setting, hold the
Spring Arm horizontally and, using a 5mm Allen Wrench,
turn the set screw located at the top-center of the Spring
Arm toward the “+”.
C. Keep adjusting the tension until the monitor arm holds
its position when you let it go.

Monitor Ergonomics
Screen Distance: Set screens about an arm’s length
(approximately 18’’ - 28’’) from your eyes. If print is too
hard to read, it is better to make the print larger on your
screen than to move the screen closer to your eyes.
Monitor Height: The top of the monitor should be at or
just below eye level.
Monitor Tilt: The monitor
should be tilted slightly up so
it’s easier to see the screen
when the top of the monitor is
level with your eyes. If the ball-
joint holding the monitor does
not move, loosen each screw
using the 4 mm Allen Wrench.
This should only take a couple
of turns, each. If you loosen too
much, and the monitor does not
stay in place, tighten slightly.

Step 7
A. Under the Spring Arm, there is a clip through which
your monitor’s wires can run. (see g. 5).
B. Inside the Extension Arm is a channel accessible by a
removable cover. Slide the cover up & out to place your
wires, then replace the cover in the reverse motion, in
& down. (see gs 6-7)
