3. Setup and Installation
3.1. Tools Required
- Stud Finder
- Drill with appropriate drill bits (e.g., 7/32" for wood studs, 1/2" for concrete)
- Level
- Phillips Head Screwdriver
- Socket Wrench (1/2" or 13mm)
- Pencil
- Measuring Tape
3.2. Mounting Location Considerations
Select a wall location that is free from obstructions and provides adequate viewing angles. Ensure the wall structure can support the weight of your display and the mount. For wood stud installation, locate the center of the studs. For concrete or brick walls, use appropriate anchors (not always included).
3.3. Installation Steps
- Attach Display Brackets: Carefully place your display face down on a soft, clean surface. Identify the correct screws and spacers from the hardware kit that fit your display's VESA mounting holes. Attach the vertical display brackets to the back of your display using these screws and spacers. Ensure the brackets are centered and securely fastened.
- Mount Wall Plate: Position the wall plate on the desired location on the wall. 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 wall type (wood stud, concrete, etc.). Secure the wall plate to the wall using the provided lag bolts and washers.
- Attach Articulating Arm: Connect the articulating arm assembly to the wall plate. Ensure all bolts are tightened securely.
- Hang Display: With assistance, carefully lift the display with the attached brackets and hook them onto the articulating arm's horizontal bars. Ensure the display is securely seated on the mount.
- Secure Display: Use the safety screws or locking mechanisms on the display brackets to prevent accidental dislodgement of the display from the mount.
- Cable Management: Route display cables through the internal cable management channels of the articulating arm for a clean and professional appearance.

4.1. Adjusting the Mount
The SUA761PU mount offers various adjustments to optimize your viewing experience:
- Extension/Retraction: Gently pull or push the display to extend or retract the arm. The arm retracts to 1.85" (47mm) and extends up to 24.85" (631mm) from the wall.
- Swivel: Rotate the display horizontally to achieve the desired viewing angle.
- Tilt: Loosen the tilt adjustment knobs (if applicable, refer to specific mount design) on the display brackets, adjust the display to the desired vertical angle, and then retighten the knobs.
- Landscape/Portrait Orientation: This mount supports both landscape and portrait mounting options. To change orientation, carefully remove the display from the mount, rotate the display brackets, and re-mount.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your wall mount.
- Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish.
- Periodic Checks: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Over time, vibrations or adjustments may cause fasteners to loosen. Retighten as necessary, but do not overtighten.
- Inspect for Damage: Regularly inspect the mount for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. If any damage is observed, discontinue use and contact customer support.
