4. Setup and Installation
4.1 Pre-Installation Check
Before mounting, confirm the following:
- TV Weight: Your TV must not exceed 50 kg (110 lbs).
- VESA Compatibility: Check the four mounting holes on the back of your TV. Measure the horizontal and vertical distance between them. The mount supports VESA patterns from 200x200 mm up to 400x400 mm.

4.2 Mounting the Wall Plate
- Determine the desired height and position for your TV. Use a stud finder to locate wall studs if mounting on wood stud walls.
- Place the wall plate against the wall at the desired height and use a level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal. Mark the drilling holes.
- Drill pilot holes according to the marked positions. For concrete walls, use a masonry drill bit and the provided concrete anchors. For wood studs, drill pilot holes directly into the center of the studs.
- Secure the wall plate to the wall using the appropriate screws and washers. Ensure all screws are tightened firmly.
4.3 Attaching TV Brackets to the Television
- Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface to prevent screen damage.
- Attach the two vertical TV brackets to the back of your television using the screws that fit your TV's VESA holes. Ensure the brackets are centered and securely fastened. Do not overtighten.
4.4 Mounting the Television to the Wall Plate
- With assistance, carefully lift the television with the attached brackets.
- Hook the TV brackets onto the wall plate. Ensure the TV is securely seated on the wall plate.
- Engage any safety locking mechanisms on the brackets to prevent accidental dislodgement.
5. Operating the TV Wall Mount
The RICOO S5244 offers flexible viewing options through its full motion capabilities.
5.1 Swivel Adjustment
The mount allows for swiveling the TV up to 120 degrees (60 degrees left and 60 degrees right), depending on the TV size and wall clearance. Gently push or pull the TV to the desired angle.

5.2 Tilt Adjustment
The TV can be tilted +12 degrees upwards and -3 degrees downwards. Loosen the tilt adjustment knobs on the TV brackets, adjust to the desired angle, and then re-tighten the knobs to secure the position.

5.3 Rotation Adjustment
For fine-tuning the level of your TV after installation, the front plate allows for a rotation adjustment of +/-3 degrees. This helps correct any slight misalignment.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your TV wall mount.
- Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Periodic Checks: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Movement: If the movement becomes stiff, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the articulating joints. Do not use oil-based lubricants.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your TV wall mount, refer to the following common solutions:
- TV Not Level: Use the +/-3 degree rotation adjustment feature to level the TV. Ensure the wall plate was installed level initially.
- Difficulty Moving TV: Check if any cables are snagged or if the tilt/swivel mechanisms are overtightened. Loosen slightly if needed. Ensure the TV weight is within the specified limit.
- Mount Feels Loose: Immediately remove the TV from the mount. Re-check all wall plate and TV bracket connections. Ensure the wall anchors are appropriate for your wall type and securely installed. If unsure, consult a professional.
