Chief Manufacturing PNR Series installation instructions Swing Arm Tension Adjustment

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 mount’s capacity.

If smaller displays are used it may be difficult to reposition the display after mounting.

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

To adjust swing arm tension to compensate for smaller display:

1.Place adjustment insert (F) into tension adjustment screw located at swing arm pivot point. (See Figure 15)

NOTE: The display may need to be repositioned in order to gain access to the tension adjustment screw(s).

2.Use the adjustment wrench (E) provided with the mount, turn adjustment insert clockwise to increase swing arm tension (See Figure 16) or counterclockwise to reduce swing arm tension. (See Figure 17)

NOTE: Small adjustments of 1/8 turn or less are typically all that is required to achieve desired tension.

3.Check swing arm tension. If desired tension is present, tension adjustment is complete. If additional tension adjustment is required, repeat steps 1 and 2 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.
