4.1 Tools Required (Not Included)

• Stud Finder (for wood stud installation)

• Level
• Phillips Head Screwdriver
• Socket Wrench
• Pencil
• Measuring Tape

4.2 Wall Type Considerations

This mount is designed for installation on wood studs or solid concrete/brick walls. Do not install on drywall alone.

• Wood Stud Walls: Locate the center of the wood studs using a stud finder. Ensure the studs are at least 2x4 inches (51x102mm) and can support the weight.
• Solid Concrete/Brick Walls: Use a masonry drill bit and the appropriate concrete anchors (if provided, otherwise purchase separately).

4.3 Attaching TV Brackets to Your TV

1. Carefully place your TV face-down on a soft, clean surface to prevent screen damage.
2. Identify the VESA mounting holes on the back of your TV.
3. Select the correct diameter and length of screws (M4, M6, or M8) that fit your TV's mounting holes. Use washers and spacers as needed to ensure the screws do not bottom out or protrude too far into the TV.
4. Attach the two TV bracket arms to the back of your TV using the selected screws, washers, and spacers. Ensure the arms are centered and securely tightened. The hooks on the arms should face upwards.

4.4 Mounting the Wall Plate Assembly

1. Determine the desired height for your TV. Mark the location for the top mounting holes of the wall plate.
2. Hold the wall plate against the wall at the marked height and use a level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal. Mark all drilling locations.
3. Drill pilot holes at the marked locations.
   • For wood studs: Drill 7/32 inch (5.5mm) pilot holes.
   • For concrete/brick: Drill 3/8 inch (10mm) pilot holes and insert concrete anchors flush with the wall surface.
4. Attach the wall plate assembly to the wall using the lag bolts and washers. Tighten securely, but do not overtighten.

6. Maintenance

• Periodically inspect the mount and all fasteners to ensure they are secure. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Clean the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Do not apply lubricants to the moving parts unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer.

7. Troubleshooting

• TV is not level after installation: Use the post-installation level adjustment feature as described in Section 5.4. Loosen the leveling screws, adjust, and re-tighten.
• Difficulty moving the TV (swivel/tilt/extension): Check if any adjustment knobs or screws are overtightened. Loosen slightly to allow movement, then re-tighten to secure the position. Ensure no cables are snagged.
• Mount feels unstable: Immediately remove the TV from the mount. Re-check all wall mounting fasteners and TV bracket screws for proper tightness and secure installation into wall studs or concrete. Ensure the TV weight and size are within the mount's specifications.
• Missing parts: Do not proceed with installation. Contact Emerald customer support for replacement parts.
