   Note: The quality of wall anchors is crucial for safety. For optimal security, especially on less solid walls, consider using high-quality anchors suitable for your specific wall material.

4. Mount Wall Plate: Securely attach the wall plate to the wall using the appropriate screws and washers. Ensure all screws are tightened firmly.
5. Hang Television: Carefully lift the television (with the attached brackets) and hook it onto the wall plate. Ensure the brackets are properly seated on the wall plate.
6. Secure TV to Mount: Tighten the safety screws located at the bottom of the TV brackets to prevent accidental dislodgement.

3. Operating Instructions

Your tectake TV Wall Mount offers flexible viewing options.

• Tilt Adjustment: The mount allows for vertical tilt adjustment up to 15° downwards and 5° upwards. Loosen the tilt adjustment screws on the side of the TV brackets, adjust to your desired angle, and then re-tighten the screws to secure the position.
• Swivel/Pivot Adjustment: The articulated arms allow you to swivel your TV horizontally. Gently pull the TV away from the wall and pivot it to the left or right for optimal viewing from different positions in the room. The arms are designed to be firm to hold the TV's position.
• Adjustable Wall Distance: The distance of your TV from the wall can be adjusted from 8 cm to 52 cm by extending or retracting the articulated arms. This feature helps optimize viewing distance and improve TV ventilation.

4. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your TV wall mount.

• Periodic Checks: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Over time, vibrations or adjustments can cause fasteners to loosen.
• Cleaning: Clean the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
• Lubrication: If the articulated arms become stiff over time, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the pivot points.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your TV wall mount, refer to the following common solutions:

• TV is not level:
  • Ensure the wall plate was installed perfectly level using the integrated spirit level.
  • Check if the TV brackets are securely tightened to the TV and the wall plate.
  • Some mounts allow for minor post-installation leveling adjustments; consult the specific mechanism if available.
• Mount feels loose on the wall:
  • Verify that all wall screws are fully tightened.
  • Confirm that the correct type and size of wall anchors were used for your wall material. If the anchors are failing, they may need to be replaced with more robust options.
  • Ensure the wall material itself is strong enough to support the load.
• Difficulty moving/adjusting the TV:
  • The articulated arms are designed to be firm to maintain position. Apply gentle, steady force.
  • Check if any cables are snagged or preventing movement.
  • Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the pivot points if movement is excessively stiff.
• TV not securely attached to the mount:
  • Ensure the TV brackets are correctly hooked onto the wall plate.
  • Verify that the safety screws at the bottom of the TV brackets are tightened.
