Setup and Installation

Tools Required (Not Included)

• Stud Finder
• Drill with appropriate drill bits (wood/concrete)
• Socket Wrench or Adjustable Wrench
• Phillips Head Screwdriver
• Pencil
• Measuring Tape

Step 1: Determine Mounting Location

Identify the desired location for your TV. Use a stud finder to locate the center of at least two adjacent wooden studs in the wall. Mark these locations with a pencil. For concrete or brick walls, consult a professional for appropriate anchors and drilling techniques.

Step 2: Attach Wall Plate to Wall

1. Hold the wall plate assembly against the wall, aligning the mounting holes with the marked stud centers. Ensure the mount is level using the provided bubble level or a longer spirit level.
2. Mark the drill points through the wall plate holes.
3. Drill pilot holes into the studs. The size of the drill bit will depend on the lag bolts provided in your hardware kit. Refer to the hardware kit instructions for specific drill bit sizes.
4. Secure the wall plate to the wall using the lag bolts and washers. Tighten firmly with a socket wrench until snug, but do not overtighten.

Step 3: Attach TV Brackets to Television

1. Carefully place your television face down on a soft, clean surface to prevent screen damage.
2. Identify the VESA mounting holes on the back of your TV.
3. Select the appropriate screws, washers, and spacers from the hardware kit that fit your TV's VESA pattern. Refer to your TV's manual for recommended screw sizes.
4. Attach the two TV bracket arms to the back of your television. Ensure the hooks on the bracket arms are facing upwards and the arms are centered horizontally on the TV.
5. Tighten the screws securely, but do not overtighten.

Step 4: Hang Television on Wall Plate

WARNING: This step requires at least two people to prevent injury or damage to the TV.

1. With assistance, carefully lift the television with the attached brackets.
2. Hook the TV bracket arms onto the horizontal bars of the wall plate assembly. Ensure both arms are securely seated.
3. Once the TV is hanging, engage any safety locking mechanisms on the TV bracket arms to prevent accidental dislodgement. (Note: Product description mentions "TV lockable device available (lock not included)").

Operating Instructions

Adjusting Articulation and Extension

The dual-arm design allows the TV to be extended from the wall and articulated left or right. Gently grasp the sides of the television and move it to the desired position. The arms are designed to hold their position once set.

Adjusting Tilt

The mount offers a tilt range of up to 15 degrees. To adjust the tilt, locate the tilt adjustment knobs on the side of the TV bracket arms (refer to Figure 4). Loosen the knobs slightly, tilt the TV to the desired angle, and then re-tighten the knobs firmly to secure the position.

Cable Management

The mount features integrated cable management to help organize and conceal cables. Route your TV and power cables through the designated channels or clips on the articulating arms to maintain a clean and organized appearance.

Maintenance

• Regular Inspection: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary, but do not overtighten.
• Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
• Lubrication: The articulating joints are designed for smooth operation. If movement becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the pivot points, avoiding contact with electrical components.

Troubleshooting

TV Sags or Does Not Hold Position

• Check Weight: Ensure the TV's weight does not exceed the mount's maximum capacity of 132 lbs (60 kg).
• Tighten Joints: The articulating joints may require tightening. Locate the adjustment bolts on the arms and tighten them slightly. Do not overtighten, as this can restrict movement.
• Wall Plate Security: Verify that the lag bolts securing the wall plate to the wall studs are firmly tightened.

Difficulty Moving TV

• Loosen Joints: If the articulating arms are too stiff, the adjustment bolts on the joints may be overtightened. Loosen them a quarter turn at a time until movement is smooth but still holds position.
• Lubrication: Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the pivot points if stiffness persists.

TV Not Level

• Wall Plate Level: Recheck the level of the wall plate. If it was installed unlevel, the TV will also be unlevel. This may require re-installation.
• TV Bracket Adjustment: Some mounts offer post-installation leveling adjustments on the TV brackets. Consult the specific design of your TV brackets for this feature.
