3. Assembling and Mounting the Wall Plate
Assemble the wall plate components if necessary. Locate the wood studs in your wall using a stud finder. Mark the drilling locations precisely. Drill pilot holes into the center of the studs. Securely attach the wall plate to the wall using the provided lag bolts. Ensure the wall plate is level before tightening all fasteners.
4. Hanging the TV
With assistance, carefully lift the television and hook the attached TV brackets onto the wall plate. Ensure the TV is properly seated and locked into place. Some models include safety screws or pull-straps to secure the TV to the wall plate.
5. Securing and Adjusting Tilt
Once the TV is hung, you can adjust the tilt angle up to 15 degrees to reduce glare. Use the tool-free tension knobs on the mount to set your desired tilt. Ensure all adjustments are tightened to prevent unwanted movement.

Operating Instructions
The ECHOGEAR Tilting TV Wall Mount is designed for simple operation, allowing you to optimize your viewing experience.
Adjusting the Tilt Angle
To adjust the tilt of your television, simply loosen the tool-free tension knobs located on the side of the TV brackets. Gently push or pull the bottom of your TV to achieve the desired viewing angle. Once the desired angle is set, tighten the tension knobs to secure the TV in position. The mount allows for up to 15 degrees of downward tilt and 5 degrees of upward tilt.
Low Profile Design
This mount features a low-profile design, positioning your TV approximately 2.5 inches from the wall. This minimizes the gap between the TV and the wall, providing a clean and integrated appearance while still allowing for cable access.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your TV wall mount.
- Cleaning: Dust the mount periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
- Inspections: Annually, inspect all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Over time, vibrations can cause fasteners to loosen. Re-tighten any loose connections.
- Moving Parts: The tilt mechanism is designed for smooth operation. If you notice any stiffness, ensure the tension knobs are not overtightened. No lubrication is typically required.
