Swing Arm Adjustments
The dual swing arms are shipped installed in the center of the top and bottom mounting brackets, which is the standard mounting configuration.

The top and bottom mounting brackets have slotted holes, allowing for lateral adjustment of the dual swing arms. After the top and bottom mounting brackets have been installed between two wood studs 16” on center, the swing arms can be adjusted or moved off center, depending on the location of the mount, the size of the display, and the lateral movement needed to rotate the display.

The swing arms can be adjusted, as follows:

1. Adjusting the Swing Arms Off-Center With no disassembly required, you can adjust the swing arms up to 1-inch to the left of center or up to 1-inch to the right of center.
2. Reconfiguring the Swing Arms Left of Center With some disassembly and reassembly required, you can move the swing arms to the left of center by reconfiguring the mount. Use the first and third slotted holes in the top and bottom mounting brackets.
3. Reconfiguring the Swing Arms Right of Center With some disassembly and reassembly, you can move the swing arms to the right of center by reconfiguring the mount. Use the third and fifth slotted holes in the top and bottom mounting brackets.

Adjusting the Swing Arms Off Center

1. Remove the display from the mount.
2. Loosen four bolts (two on the top and two on the bottom) securing the swing arm assembly to the top and bottom mounting brackets (See Figure 12).
3. Move the swing arm assembly to desired location.
4. Tighten the bolts.

5. Install four bolts (two on the top and two on the bottom) to secure the swing arm assembly to the top and bottom mounting brackets.

6. Tighten the bolts.

7. Install the display on the mount.

Swing Arm Tension Adjustment

Swing arm tension is pre-set at the factory and is adjusted to accommodate displays with weights near the top of the mounts capacity.

If smaller displays are used it may be difficult to reposition the display after mounting. Swing arm tension can be adjusted to compensate for smaller display.

NOTE: The display must be mounted prior to adjusting swing arm tension.

1. Locate the adjustment insert (F) and wrench (E) provided with the mount.

2. Place adjustment insert into socket head cap screw located at swing arm pivot point. (See Figure 16)
   NOTE: The display may need to be repositioned in order to gain access to the tension adjustment screw(s).

3. Using the wrench provided with the mount, turn adjustment insert clockwise to increase swing arm tension or counterclockwise to reduce swing arm tension. (See Figure 16)
   NOTE: Small adjustments of 1/8 turn or less are typically all that is required to achieve desired tension.

4. Check swing arm tension. If desired tension is present, tension adjustment is complete. If additional tension adjustment is required, repeat steps 2 and 3 until desired tension is achieved.
   NOTE: If changing from a smaller display to a larger display it may be necessary to increase swing arm tension.

Removing Display from Mount

1. Remove bolt or padlock from faceplate (if used).
   NOTE: The pin may have been used as a more permanent locking device. If so, remove nut and pin and move from the lower holes to the upper holes.

2. Pull back on flag on upper mounting hole and press pin down into “Open” position. (See Figure 17)
