Mounting Options:
- C-Clamp Mounting:
- For table edge thickness: 0.39 – 3.15" (10 – 80mm).
- Reinstallation of the C-Clamp is required for desk thicknesses between 0.39 – 2.56" (10 – 65mm).
- Grommet Mounting:
- For grommet bolt thickness: 0.39 – 2.36" (10 – 60mm).
- Requires a drilled hole, leaving at least 2" (50mm) from the desktop edge.
- Recommended drill bit size: 7/16–7/8" (11–22mm).
Monitor Size Compatibility:
- For monitors 24" or smaller, compression arms attach directly to extension arms.
- For monitors larger than 24", an additional pair of extension arms is used between compression arms and existing extension arms.
Tension Adjustment:
- Tension adjustment should ONLY be performed AFTER the monitor is installed.
- DO NOT adjust tension without a monitor attached.
- Verify monitor weight is less than 18 lbs (8 kg).
- Ensure the monitor is securely attached to the mount.
- WARNING: Gas Spring Arm is under pressure and should be handled with care. Failure to follow instructions may result in damage or personal injury.
- To adjust tension, carefully press down on the compression arm until it is level with the desk. This allows access to the adjustment screw.
- CAUTION: Always keep the arm in a horizontal position when making adjustments to avoid damage.
- If the arm rises, turn the adjustment screw clockwise until it stays horizontal.
- If the arm drops, turn the adjustment screw counter-clockwise until it stays horizontal.
Rotation Restriction (Stability):
- Monitors and arms must remain over the desktop to ensure proper stability.
- Do not position monitors behind the base.
- Failure to follow this can cause instability, property damage, or injury.
Maintenance Features:
Cable Management:
- Integrated cable management covers [X] on the compression arms and preassembled covers on the extension arms [W] help route and conceal cables, maintaining a clean and organized workspace.

Adjustments for Longevity:
- Regularly check and tighten bolts for tilt and swivel adjustments to maintain desired monitor positions and prevent loosening over time.
- WARNING: Do not overtighten or overloosen bolts to avoid damage.
- For rotation, ensure bolts are secured firmly before rotating the monitor.
