G.3.1.

 Depending on the weight of the display, it may be 

necessary to adjust the arm. This can be done by using the 

5mm allen Key supplied in the Desk Clamp box.

G.3.2.

 if the arm tends to automatically rise or fall when 

the display is attached, it will be necessary to make small 

adjustments to the gas strut. (see diagram on the right)

G.3.3. 

if the arm tends to rise, the gas strut position should be 

raised. if the arm tends to fall, the gas strut position should be 

lowered.

it is possible to control the amount of resistance in the Pivot Head to suit 

your display. 

To increase the resistance of the Pivot Head to suit heavier displays, use the 

5mm allen Key supplied in the Desk Clamp box to tighten the interscrew in 

a clockwise direction. 

To decrease the resistance of the Pivot Head to suit lighter displays, 

loosen the interscrew in an anti-clockwise direction.

NOTe: It is recommended the pivot Head be left at the 

factory setting for best performance.

Depending on the weight of the display, it may be necessary 

to make adjustments to the ball Joint mechanism.  if the 

display doesn’t hold its position or is too resistant, adjust 

the four tension screws located around the ball Joint (see 

diagram on the right) using the supplied 2.5mm allen Key.

Check the display, and then adjust again if necessary.
