Safety Information
Child safety is paramount. To prevent tip-over accidents, always mount your TV securely using a strong and safe mount. All Barkan TV mounts include a Fall Proof system designed to prevent the screen from disengaging after installation.
Always wear safety glasses during installation. Ensure the wall structure can support the combined weight of the mount and the television. This mount has been tested with 421 lbs to ensure its structural integrity.

Setup and Installation
The assembly process is designed to be straightforward. Follow these general steps:
- Attach the adapters to the rear side of the TV: Secure the TV connection plate to the back of your television using the appropriate screws from the hardware kit.
- Install the bracket on the wall: Locate suitable wall studs or use appropriate anchors for concrete/brick walls. Use a drill, level, and stud finder as required. The mount is compatible with drywall with wood studs (16"/40.6cm spacing) and concrete blocks/concrete walls.
- Snap the TV onto the bracket: Carefully lift the TV and engage the TV connection plate with the wall bracket until it securely locks into place.
Refer to the detailed assembly instructions included in the packaging for specific guidance and diagrams. If your screen requires different screen-connection screws than those provided, acquire them from a local hardware store or contact Barkan support.

Maintenance
This TV wall mount requires minimal maintenance. Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Dust the mount with a soft, dry cloth as needed. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the finish.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues during installation or operation, review the assembly instructions provided in the package. Ensure all components are correctly installed and tightened according to the diagrams.
- Mount feels unstable: Verify that the wall bracket is securely fastened to wall studs or appropriate anchors. Ensure all TV connection screws are tight.
- Difficulty with movement: Check for any obstructions. Ensure the TV weight does not exceed the maximum capacity of 123 lbs.
- Missing or incorrect screws: Refer to the hardware kit list. If specific screen-connection screws are needed for your TV model, they may need to be purchased separately.
