Installation Instructions
Before You Begin
- Verify Wall Type: Determine if your wall is wood stud, concrete, or brick. Do not install on drywall alone without studs.
- Gather Tools: You will need a drill, stud finder (for wood studs), level, measuring tape, pencil, and a screwdriver.
- Identify VESA Pattern: Check the back of your TV for the VESA mounting hole pattern (e.g., 75x75mm, 100x100mm, 200x200mm).
Step-by-Step Installation
Follow these steps for a secure and efficient installation:

- Attach VESA Plate to TV:
Align the TV brackets with the VESA mounting holes on the back of your television. Select the appropriate screws, washers, and spacers from the provided hardware kit that fit your TV's specific VESA pattern. Securely fasten the brackets to the TV. Ensure the brackets are oriented correctly so the TV can be hung onto the wall plate.
- Fix Wall Plate to Wall:
Mark the desired height and center position for your TV on the wall. Use a level to ensure the wall plate will be straight. For wood stud installation, use a stud finder to locate the center of the studs and drill pilot holes. For concrete or brick walls, drill pilot holes and insert the appropriate concrete anchors before securing the wall plate with lag bolts. Ensure the wall plate is firmly attached to the wall.
- Hang Screen onto Wall Plate:
Carefully lift the television with the attached brackets and hook them onto the wall plate. Ensure the TV is securely seated on the wall plate. There may be safety screws or locking mechanisms to prevent accidental dislodging; engage these as per the specific design of your mount.
Operating the Mount
Tilting Function
The SWIFT210-AP mount allows for a 15-degree downward tilt to optimize your viewing experience and reduce glare from lights or windows. To adjust the tilt:
- Locate the tilt adjustment screws on the side of the TV brackets.
- Use the provided Allen wrench to loosen these screws slightly.
- Carefully tilt the TV to your desired angle.
- Once the desired tilt is achieved, securely tighten the adjustment screws to lock the TV in place.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and safe operation of your TV wall mount, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
- Periodic Inspection: Every 6-12 months, check all mounting screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Weight Limit: Do not add additional weight to the TV or mount beyond the specified maximum load capacity.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| TV is not level after installation. | Wall plate not level during installation. | Remove TV, adjust wall plate using a level, re-mount TV. |
| Mount feels loose on the wall. | Screws not fully tightened or incorrect anchors used. | Ensure all wall mounting screws are securely tightened. Verify appropriate anchors were used for your wall type. If necessary, consult a professional. |
| Difficulty tilting the TV. | Tilt adjustment screws are too tight. | Loosen the tilt adjustment screws slightly with the Allen wrench, adjust tilt, then re-tighten. |
| TV mounting screws do not fit the TV or mount holes. | Incorrect screw size selected or TV requires a different thread. | Ensure you are using the correct diameter and length screws for your TV's VESA holes. The kit includes common sizes (M4, M5, M6). If your TV requires M8 screws, you may need to source them separately and ensure they fit through the mount's holes. Do not attempt to force screws or modify the mount without proper tools and knowledge. |
