backs...	or recessed backs...

Fig. 4 - Use a longer bolt and spacer for displays with curved or recessed backs. Do not use the M6 Washer (O) if you are using the M8 Bolts (J or K).

3.Attach the arms to the back of your display using the bolts identified in Steps 1 and 2 and the corresponding Lock Washer (C, F, I, or L) (Fig. 4). You will need to use the M6 Washers (O) if you are using the M4, M5, or M6 bolts. If your display has a curved or recessed back, you may also need to use a Spacer (M or N).

4.Make sure the screws are snug, but do not over-tighten.
