Adjustments

The mount allows for convenient adjustments to achieve the perfect viewing angle.

• Height Adjustment: The two back-screen adapters allow for setting the TV's height before final locking.
• Lateral Adjustment: The TV can be moved horizontally along the wall plate after installation and before locking, providing flexibility for centering.

Once the TV is in the desired location, ensure the back-screen adapters are securely locked onto the wall plate. This protects the TV from accidental disengagement.

Operating Instructions

Once installed, the Barkan E20.B is a fixed TV wall mount, meaning it does not offer tilt, swivel, or extension capabilities. Its primary function is to hold the TV securely and flush against the wall.

To ensure continued secure operation, periodically check all screws and connections to confirm they remain tight. The spring lock mechanism provides a secure hold, but regular inspection is recommended.

Maintenance

The Barkan E20.B TV Wall Mount requires minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure its longevity and continued performance:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the mount. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
• Periodic Inspection: Annually, or if you notice any changes, inspect all mounting points and screws to ensure they are secure and tight. Loose connections can compromise safety.
• Weight Limit: Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 88 lbs (40 kg). Overloading can lead to mount failure and damage to your TV or property.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during installation or use, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• TV Not Level:
  • Ensure the wall bracket was installed using a level.
  • Utilize the height adjustment feature of the back-screen adapters to fine-tune the TV's level before final locking.
• TV Not Centered:
  • Use the lateral adjustment feature to slide the TV horizontally along the wall plate until it is centered as desired.
• Mounting Screws Don't Fit TV:
  • The kit includes a variety of common TV screws. If none fit, your TV may require specific screws (e.g., M8 x 1¾”/ 45mm for some Samsung models) not included. These can be purchased separately from a hardware store.
  • Ensure you are using the correct diameter and length of screw for your TV's VESA holes.
• Difficulty Attaching TV to Wall Plate:
  • Ensure the back-screen adapters are correctly aligned with the wall plate.
  • Verify that no cables or obstructions are preventing the TV from seating properly.
