INSTALLATION & OPERATING MANUAL FOR M-SERIES ARMS
WARNING: Do not position support arm or device above a patient.
The mounted device may move suddenly due to normal wear or improper adjustment of the tilt and swivel
functions (see page 2). Failure to periodically inspect and adjust these functions may result in damage to
equipment or injury.
Before mounting the arm:
1. Verify that the Channel has been installed and approved in accordance with the GCX Wall Channel Installation
Instructions.
2. Verify the weight of the device to be mounted. This arm is either rated for 30 lbs [13.6 kg] or 60 lbs [27.2 kg],
depending on the front-end mounting configuration. Refer to the duty rating label located on top of the arm at the Slide
pivot point. It is not recommended that you attempt to use the arm for weights outside of this range.
3. If you are unsure of your application, please contact a GCX product specialist at (800) 228-2555 for assistance.
Installing Arm in Channel
1. Install Adjustable Stop in top of Channel, slide to bottom of
Channel and tighten center screw.
2. While supporting the bottom of the Arm with one hand,
guide the Slide (rear of Arm) into top of the Channel.
3. Guide Arm to desired height and tighten two (2) set screws
with 1/8" [3 mm] hex wrench (provided).
Mounting a Device on the Arm
