If your  free standing Proteus has experienced shifting or "creep" during use and is not in its intended position, it can be moved back with a few simple steps.

For minor adjustments, movement within roughly 1ft from current position, you can leave the monitor arm secured to the Proteus. Just be mindful to manually lift/assist  it slightly when moving the unit to prevent unwanted stress.

For larger distance moves it is advised the monitor mount be detached from the Proteus to ensure it can be transported safely. If doing so, use this page for instructions on mount removal.


1. Start by removing all bolts & washers securing the Proteus to the free standing plates using a 3/4" wrench or socket.

6. Gradually lower the machine down by loosening the 3X lifter bolts(red), taking care to align the 6X mount holes of the legs as you do.  Install the 6X Proteus bolts & washers, then make minor adjustments and align the plate for the monitor mount and install its 2X bolts & washers.
