5. Setup and Installation
5.1 Before You Begin
- Ensure you have all package contents as listed in Section 3.
- Verify your TV's size, weight, and VESA pattern are compatible with the mount (refer to Section 4).
- Identify your wall type (wood stud, solid concrete, or brick).
- Gather necessary tools: Drill, Stud Finder (for wood studs), Level, Phillips Head Screwdriver, Pencil.
5.2 Step-by-Step Installation
- Attach Mounting Plate to TV: Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface. Align the VESA plate of the mount with the mounting holes on the back of your TV. Use the appropriate screws and spacers from the hardware kit to secure the plate. Ensure the screws are tightened firmly but do not overtighten.
- Mark and Drill Pilot Holes: Determine the desired height and position for your TV on the wall. For wood studs, use a stud finder to locate the center of the stud. Mark the pilot hole locations through the wall plate. For concrete or brick walls, mark the locations directly. Drill pilot holes to the recommended depth and diameter for your wall type and chosen anchors/screws.
- Attach Wall Plate to Wall: Secure the wall plate of the mount to the wall using the appropriate lag bolts and washers (for wood studs) or concrete anchors and screws (for concrete/brick). Use a level to ensure the mount is perfectly horizontal before fully tightening all fasteners.
- Hang TV onto Mount: With assistance, carefully lift the TV (with the VESA plate attached) and hook it onto the articulating arm of the wall mount. Ensure the TV is securely seated on the mount. Tighten any safety screws or locking mechanisms to prevent accidental dislodgement.

6. Operating Instructions
The WALI WL-1330LM mount offers various adjustments to achieve your optimal viewing angle.
6.1 Adjusting Tilt
To adjust the vertical tilt angle of your TV (up to ±15°), locate the tilt adjustment screws on the VESA plate. Loosen them slightly, adjust the screen to your desired angle, then re-tighten the screws firmly to secure the position.

6.2 Adjusting Swivel
To swivel your TV horizontally, gently push or pull the screen to the left or right. The mount allows for up to 180° swivel at the wall connection point and 360° at the VESA plate, providing wide viewing angles.
6.3 Adjusting Extension
Extend or retract the articulating arm to move your TV closer to or further from the wall. The mount allows for an extension range from a minimum of 2 inches to a maximum of 15 inches from the wall.

6.4 Rotating Screen
The VESA plate allows for a full 360° rotation of the screen, enabling you to easily switch between landscape and portrait viewing orientations.
6.5 Cable Management
Utilize the integrated cable clips or ties along the articulating arm to route and organize your cables. This helps maintain a clean and clutter-free appearance.

7. Maintenance
- Periodic Checks: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) check all screws, bolts, and connections on the mount and between the mount and the TV to ensure they remain secure. Tighten any loose fasteners.
- Cleaning: Clean the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical-based sprays, as these may damage the finish or components.
- Lubrication: The articulating joints are designed for smooth operation and typically do not require lubrication. If movement becomes stiff, contact customer support for advice.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Mount is not level after installation. | Wall plate not installed level; TV not seated correctly. | Remove TV, re-check wall plate with a level, adjust and re-tighten. Ensure TV is properly hooked onto the mount. |
| Difficulty adjusting tilt, swivel, or extension. | Adjustment screws are too tight; mount is overloaded. | Slightly loosen the relevant adjustment screws, make the adjustment, then re-tighten. Verify TV weight does not exceed 33 lbs. |
| TV seems unstable or wobbly on the mount. | Improper installation; loose fasteners; unsuitable wall type. | Immediately remove TV. Re-check all wall anchors and mount connections. Ensure wall type is suitable (not drywall alone) and pilot holes were drilled correctly. Do not re-mount until stability is confirmed. Contact professional if unsure. |
