|---|---|---|
| TV is difficult to pull down or push up. | Gas spring tension is not correctly adjusted for TV weight. | Adjust the gas spring tension. Increase tension for heavier TVs, decrease for lighter TVs. |
| TV does not stay in the desired position (sags or floats). | Gas spring tension is not correctly adjusted. | Re-adjust the gas spring tension until the TV holds its position. |
