Setup and Installation
Follow these steps carefully for a secure installation.
Tools Required (Not Included):
- Pencil
- Drill
- Drill Bits (appropriate for wall type and screw size)
- Phillips Head Screwdriver
- Stud Finder (for wood stud installation)
- Measuring Tape
Step 1: Determine Mounting Location
Choose a location on your wall that is structurally sound and can support the weight of your TV and the mount. Use a stud finder to locate the center of two adjacent wood studs if mounting to wood. For concrete or brick walls, ensure the wall is solid.
Step 2: Mark Drill Holes
Position the installation template at the desired height on the wall. Use the included bubble level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal. Mark the drill hole locations with a pencil. For wood studs, mark the center of the studs. For concrete/brick, mark the desired locations.
Step 3: Drill Pilot Holes
- For Wood Studs: Drill pilot holes into the center of the marked studs.
- For Concrete/Brick Walls: Drill pilot holes and insert the appropriate wall anchors (if included and suitable for your wall type).
Step 4: Mount the Wall Plate
Align the wall plate with the drilled holes. Secure the wall plate to the wall using the provided lag bolts and washers. Tighten firmly with a wrench, ensuring the mount is level and secure.

Step 5: Attach TV Brackets to TV
Identify the VESA mounting holes on the back of your television. Select the appropriate screws, washers, and spacers from the provided hardware kit that fit your TV's VESA pattern. Attach the TV mounting brackets to the back of your TV. Ensure the brackets are securely fastened and centered.

Step 6: Mount TV to Wall Plate
With assistance, carefully lift the television and hook the TV brackets onto the wall plate. Ensure the TV is securely seated on the mount. Tighten any safety screws or locking mechanisms to prevent accidental dislodgement.

- Clean the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Ensure no cables are pinched or stressed during TV adjustments.
Troubleshooting
- TV is not level: Check the wall plate installation with a bubble level. Adjust if necessary by slightly loosening and re-tightening the wall plate screws.
