Adjusting the Display
The Spacedec Acrobat Swing Arm Double comes factory set to support 6kg displays. Adjust the arm to suit the weight of
your display as shown in the following steps:

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.
NOTE: Be sure to adjust screws evenly.
