4.2. Attaching the Wall Plate
- Mark the desired drilling locations on the wall using the wall plate as a template. Use a level to ensure accuracy.
- Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. The drill bit size will depend on your wall type and the provided wall anchors.
- Insert wall anchors (if applicable) into the pilot holes.
- Secure the wall plate to the wall using the lag bolts and washers. Tighten securely, but do not overtighten.
4.3. Attaching TV Brackets to the TV
- Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface.
- Identify the VESA mounting holes on the back of your TV.
- Select the appropriate screws, washers, and spacers from the package contents that fit your TV's mounting holes.
- Attach the TV brackets to the back of your TV. Ensure they are securely fastened and evenly aligned.
4.4. Mounting the TV to the Wall Plate
- With assistance, carefully lift the TV with the attached brackets.
- Hook the TV brackets onto the wall plate. Ensure the TV is securely seated on the mount.
- Engage any safety locking mechanisms on the mount to prevent accidental dislodgement.

6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Periodic Checks: Regularly inspect all mounting screws and connections to ensure they are tight and secure. Over time, vibrations or adjustments can cause screws to loosen.
- Lubrication: The moving parts are designed for smooth operation and generally do not require lubrication. If movement becomes stiff, consult Hama support.
7. Troubleshooting
7.1. TV is not level after installation.
Solution: Check the wall plate installation with a level. If the wall plate is level, adjust the TV brackets on the back of the TV or use the fine-tuning adjustment features of the mount (if available) to correct the tilt.
7.2. TV feels unstable or wobbly.
Solution: Immediately remove the TV from the mount. Re-check all wall plate and TV bracket connections. Ensure all screws are tightened to the recommended torque. Verify the wall type and anchors are appropriate for the TV's weight. If the issue persists, consult a professional installer.
7.3. Difficulty adjusting tilt or swivel.
Solution: Ensure no cables are obstructing movement. Check for any adjustment screws on the mount that might need to be loosened before adjustment and tightened afterward. Do not force movement.
