Setup and Installation
Before you begin, ensure you have all necessary tools and hardware. Refer to the included hardware kit for specific fasteners.
1. Unpacking and Component Check
Carefully unpack all components and verify against the parts list provided in the packaging. Report any missing or damaged parts to Peerless customer support immediately.
2. Wall Plate Installation
- Locate the desired mounting position on the wall. Use a stud finder to identify wood studs or ensure you are mounting into concrete/brick with appropriate anchors.
- Hold the wall plate against the wall at the desired height and use a level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal.
- Mark the drilling locations through the holes on the wall plate.
- Drill pilot holes according to the recommended drill bit size for your wall type (refer to hardware kit instructions).
- Secure the wall plate to the wall using the provided lag bolts and washers. Ensure it is firmly attached.
3. Attaching Brackets to Display
- Lay your TV face down on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
- Identify the VESA mounting holes on the back of your TV.
- Select the appropriate screws, washers, and spacers from the hardware kit that fit your TV's mounting holes.
- Attach the vertical mounting brackets to the back of your TV, ensuring they are centered and securely fastened. Do not overtighten.
4. Mounting Display to Wall Plate
- With assistance, carefully lift the TV with the attached brackets.
- Hook the brackets onto the wall plate. Ensure the TV is securely seated on the wall plate.
- Engage any safety locking mechanisms (if applicable) to prevent accidental dislodgement.
Operating the Mount
The SP850-UNL mount offers flexible positioning for your display.
Adjusting Swivel
Gently grasp the sides of your TV and pivot it left or right to achieve the desired viewing angle. The mount allows for a wide range of horizontal movement.
Adjusting Tilt
To adjust the vertical tilt, carefully push the top or bottom of the TV forward or backward. Some models may have knobs or levers to loosen/tighten the tilt mechanism; adjust as needed and re-tighten to secure the angle.
Extending/Retracting
To extend or retract the TV from the wall, gently pull or push the display. The articulating arms will move smoothly. Ensure cables are not pinched during movement.
