1. To adjust the position of the arm, loosen the central locking knob. This will release tension on all three joints simultaneously.
2. Carefully reposition the arm and the attached equipment to the desired angle and height. The arm allows for 360-degree rotation at its ball joints.
3. Once the desired position is achieved, tighten the central locking knob firmly to secure the arm in place. Ensure it is tight enough to prevent sagging, especially with heavier loads within the specified limit.
