2. Attaching Brackets to TV
- Carefully place your TV face-down on a soft, clean surface.
- Align the TV mounting brackets with the VESA holes on the back of your TV. Use the appropriate screws, washers, and spacers from the hardware kit. Ensure the brackets are level and securely fastened.
3. Mounting the Wall Plate
- Locate Studs (Wood Stud Walls): Use the magnetic stud finder to locate the center of a wood stud. Mark the desired mounting height.
- Drill Pilot Holes: For wood studs, drill pilot holes (e.g., 3/16" or 1/4" diameter, refer to specific hardware instructions) at the marked locations. For concrete/brick, use a masonry drill bit and appropriate anchors (not always included, may need to be purchased separately).
- Attach Wall Plate: Secure the wall plate to the wall using the provided lag screws. Ensure the wall plate is level before fully tightening all screws.

Maintenance
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure.
- Cleaning: Clean the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Lubrication: If the articulating arm becomes stiff, a few drops of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the pivot points.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| TV is not level after installation. | Wall plate not level, or level adjustment nuts need fine-tuning. | Use the ±5 degree level adjustment feature. Loosen the level lock nuts slightly, adjust the TV, and retighten. If the wall plate itself is significantly off, re-installation may be required. |
| Mount feels stiff or difficult to move. | Lack of lubrication or initial stiffness. | Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the articulating joints. Movement will become smoother with use. |
| TV seems unstable or wobbly. | Screws not fully tightened, or incorrect installation. | Immediately check all mounting screws on both the TV and the wall plate. Ensure they are securely tightened. Verify that the wall type is appropriate and studs were properly located. If issues persist, consult a professional installer. |
| Missing hardware. | Packaging error. | Do not proceed with installation. Contact VideoSecu customer support for replacement parts. |
