5. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for a secure and efficient installation. It is recommended to have at least two people for installation, especially when mounting the TV.
5.1. Pre-Installation Checks
- Verify TV Compatibility: Check your TV's VESA pattern and weight against the specifications.
- Identify Wall Type: Determine if your wall is wood stud, concrete, or brick. Use the appropriate anchors and drilling methods.
- Locate Studs (for wood walls): Use a stud finder to accurately locate the center of wood studs.
- Clear Area: Ensure the installation area is clear of obstructions, electrical wires, and plumbing.

5.2. Mounting the Wall Plate
- Position the Template: Hold the wall plate or use the provided template against the wall at your desired height. Use the spirit level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal.
- Mark Drill Holes: Mark the drilling points through the holes on the wall plate.
- Drill Holes: Drill pilot holes according to the marked points and the type of wall. For concrete/brick, use a masonry drill bit and insert concrete anchors. For wood studs, drill pilot holes directly into the center of the studs.
- Attach Wall Plate: Secure the wall plate to the wall using the appropriate lag bolts and washers. Tighten firmly but do not overtighten.
5.3. Attaching Brackets to TV
- Lay TV Face Down: Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
- Attach TV Brackets: Align the vertical TV brackets with the VESA mounting holes on the back of your TV. Use the correct size screws and spacers from the provided hardware kit. Ensure the brackets are securely fastened.
5.4. Hanging the TV and Final Adjustments
- Hang TV: With assistance, carefully lift the TV and hook the TV brackets onto the wall plate. Ensure the TV is securely seated on the wall plate.
- Secure TV: Use the safety screws or locking mechanisms on the TV brackets to secure the TV to the wall plate, preventing accidental dislodgement.
- Adjust Level: Use the ±3° rotation adjustment feature to fine-tune the TV's level if needed.

6.4. Cable Management

7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your TV wall bracket.
- Cleaning: Wipe the bracket with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
- Periodic Checks: Periodically check all mounting screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight and secure. Over time, vibrations or adjustments may cause them to loosen slightly.
- Lubrication: The moving parts are designed for smooth operation and generally do not require lubrication. If movement becomes stiff, consult BONTEC customer support.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your BONTEC TV Wall Bracket, refer to the following common problems and solutions.
- TV is not level: Use the ±3° rotation adjustment feature to fine-tune the level. Ensure the wall plate was installed horizontally using the spirit level.
- Bracket feels unstable or sags:
- Verify that the TV weight does not exceed the 65 kg (144 lbs) maximum capacity.
- Ensure all wall mounting bolts and TV attachment screws are securely tightened.
- Confirm that the bracket is mounted to appropriate wall studs or solid concrete/brick, not just drywall.
- Difficulty adjusting the TV (swivel/tilt/extension):
- Check for any obstructions preventing movement.
- Ensure no cables are caught in the moving parts.
- The joints are designed to be firm to hold the TV's position. Apply gentle, steady pressure.
