5.1. Prepare the TV
- Carefully place your TV face-down on a soft, clean surface to prevent screen damage.
- Identify the VESA mounting holes on the back of your TV.
- Select the appropriate screws, washers, and spacers from the hardware kit that fit your TV's mounting holes.
- Attach the two vertical TV brackets to the back of your TV using the selected hardware. Ensure the brackets are centered and securely fastened. Do not overtighten.
5.2. Prepare the Wall
- Determine the desired height for your TV. Use the mounting template to mark the drill holes on the wall.
- For Wood Stud Walls: Use a stud finder to locate the center of two adjacent wood studs (16 or 24 inches apart). Mark the drill points. Drill pilot holes using an appropriate drill bit (refer to manual for size).
- For Concrete/Brick Walls: Mark the drill points. Drill holes using a masonry drill bit (refer to manual for size). Insert the provided wall anchors into the drilled holes.
- Position the wall plate against the wall, aligning the holes. Use the integrated bubble level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal.
- Secure the wall plate to the wall using the lag bolts and washers. Tighten firmly, but do not overtighten.
