5. Setup and Installation

Tools Required (not included): Pencil, Stud Finder (for wood studs), Drill, Drill Bits (appropriate for wall type), Level, Phillips Head Screwdriver, Socket Wrench.

Step 1: Attach TV Brackets to Your TV

1. Carefully place your TV 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 provided hardware kit that fit your TV's mounting holes. Ensure the screws are not too long, which could damage internal components, or too short, which would not provide a secure fit.
4. Attach the VESA plate of the wall mount to the back of your TV using the selected hardware. Tighten securely, but do not overtighten.

Step 2: Mark Drilling Holes on the Wall

1. Determine the desired height for your TV. Consider viewing angles and furniture placement.
2. Hold the wall plate portion of the mount against the wall at the desired height. Use a level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal.
3. Mark the drilling locations through the holes on the wall plate using a pencil.
4. For wood stud installation, use a stud finder to locate the center of a wood stud and ensure at least two mounting holes align with the stud.

Step 3: Drill Holes and Install Wall Plate

1. Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. The drill bit size will depend on your wall type and the anchors/screws provided.
2. For concrete/brick walls, insert the plastic wall anchors into the drilled holes. Tap gently with a hammer until flush with the wall surface.
3. Position the wall plate over the drilled holes and secure it to the wall using the provided screws and washers. Tighten all screws firmly to ensure the wall plate is securely fastened.

Step 4: Mount TV to Wall Plate

1. With assistance, carefully lift the TV (with the VESA plate attached) and align the VESA plate with the arm extending from the wall plate.
2. Slide the VESA plate onto the arm until it clicks into place or can be secured with the provided locking mechanism (if applicable).
3. Double-check that the TV is securely attached to the wall mount before releasing it.

6. Operating the Mount

This wall mount allows for tilting adjustments to achieve your preferred viewing angle.

• Tilting: The mount allows for a tilt range of +/- 15 degrees. To adjust the tilt, gently push or pull the top or bottom of your TV to the desired angle. The friction mechanism will hold the TV in place.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Periodic Checks: Regularly inspect the mount and all fasteners to ensure they remain tight and secure. If any components appear loose or damaged, tighten them or replace them immediately.
• Lubrication: The articulating joints are designed for smooth movement. No lubrication is typically required.

8. Troubleshooting

• TV is not level: Ensure the wall plate was installed level. If not, remove the TV, loosen the wall plate screws, adjust with a level, and re-tighten.
• Mount feels loose: Check all screws securing the mount to the wall and the TV to the mount. Tighten any loose fasteners. Do not overtighten.
• Difficulty tilting the TV: Ensure no cables are obstructing the movement. The tilt mechanism is designed to hold position, so some resistance is normal. If it's excessively stiff, check for any debris in the joint.
• Mounting screws do not fit TV: Refer to your TV's manual for correct VESA screw sizes. The provided hardware kit includes common sizes, but some TVs may require specific screws.
