Important Note

It is strongly recommended to use the mounting screws provided by the monitor

manufacturer if possible. If longer screws are needed, use either part (C) 18mm long,
(D) 12mm long, or (E) 8mm long. NOTE: Always use the shortest screws possible to

avoid damage to the monitor.

Quick Release Option:

Depending on the size of your monitor, it may be necessary to adjust

the tilt setting.

If the monitor doesn’t hold its tilt position or is too hard to tilt, adjust
the screw directly behind the monitor on the side of the arm. Use
the 3/16" Allen Wrench (H) (clockwise to tighten, counter-clockwise to

loosen). Check the monitor, and adjust again as necessary.

The Willow Arm is preset to balance a 6-pound monitor. If your monitor weighs more or less than

this, it may be necessary to adjust the friction of the arm. Test the friction by raising the arm all
the way up, waiting to see if it moves, and then lowering the arm all the way down. If the arm
drops from the top or rises off the bottom, you will need to adjust the friction.

Use the 3/16" Allen Wrench (H) to make small adjustments in the arm friction by turning the
screws in each end of the upper arm. Always turn both screws the same amount in small steps,
until the arm no longer rises or falls. Do not overtighten or the arm will be too stiff to make easy
adjustments in monitor position.

Adjust both screws in small, equal steps

To increase friction turn screw clockwise
To decrease friction turn screw counter-clockwise
