Lifting Force
Adjust the Lifting Force for the TV.
First, review all the images in this step.
With Safety Bolt {20} in place, use a 10–14mm socket wrench with an
extension to adjust the Tension Bolt {41} (the long bolt inside the Lifting Arm
{35}).
For heavy TVs, turn the Tension Bolt clockwise in order to pull the Gas Springs
{38} DOWN and increase the lifting force. Turn counterclockwise for lighter TVs.
The Gas Springs move slowly as you turn the Tension Bolt. Their movement is
subtle. Please be patient as it may take multiple revolutions to reach the
desired tension.
Adjust the Tension Bolt until the TV gently stays in the lowered position.
Move the TV up and down within the range below the Safety Bolt. The TV
should almost stay up against the Safety Bolt and slowly lower to the Bottom
Stops when released.
