Operating Instructions

Once installed, your Barkan Full Motion TV Wall Mount allows for flexible viewing adjustments:

• Tilt Adjustment (0° to 15°): Loosen the tilt adjustment screws on the TV plate, adjust the screen to your desired vertical angle, and then securely tighten the screws.
• Swivel Adjustment (180°): Gently push or pull the TV to rotate it horizontally to the left or right. The mount allows for a 180-degree swivel range.
• Screen Leveling (±5°): If the screen appears slightly unlevel after installation, adjust the leveling mechanism on the TV plate to achieve a perfectly horizontal display.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and safe operation of your TV wall mount:

• Regular Inspection: Periodically check all mounting screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure.
• Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
• Lubrication: The articulating joints are designed for smooth movement. If movement becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the pivot points.

Troubleshooting

• TV is not level: Use the screen leveling adjustment feature (±5°) to correct the horizontal alignment. Ensure the wall bracket was installed level.
• Difficulty moving the TV: Check if any cables are snagged or if the tilt/swivel screws are overtightened. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the joints if necessary.
• Mount feels unstable: Immediately remove the TV from the mount. Re-check all wall and TV connections. Ensure the mount is installed on a compatible wall type and that all screws are fully tightened. Do not re-mount the TV until stability is confirmed.
• Missing hardware: Refer to the package contents list. If parts are missing, contact Barkan customer support.
