4. Setup & Installation
Follow these steps carefully to install your TV wall mount. It is recommended that two people perform the installation.
4.1. Determine VESA Standard
Before installation, identify the VESA mounting pattern on the back of your television. The VESA standard is measured in millimeters (mm) and represents the horizontal and vertical distance between the threaded holes. This mount supports VESA standards: 75x75, 100x100, 200x100, 200x200, 300x300, 400x200, and 400x400.
If you do not know your TV's VESA standard, measure the distance between the horizontal and vertical threaded holes on the back of your TV.
4.2. Wall Preparation
Ensure the chosen wall is stable and capable of supporting the weight of the mount and your TV. The mount can be installed on concrete, solid brick, or wood stud walls.
4.3. Mounting the Wall Plate
- Position the wall plate on your desired mounting location. Use a level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal.
- Mark the five drilling points through the holes on the wall plate.
- Drill five 10mm diameter holes at the marked positions. The depth of the holes should match the length of the wall anchors.
- Insert the wall anchors into the drilled holes.
- Align the wall plate with the anchors and secure it using the five long screws. Tighten the screws firmly using a wrench or ratchet until the plate is securely fastened to the wall.
4.4. Attaching TV Brackets to the Television
- Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface to prevent screen damage.
- Attach the TV mounting brackets to the VESA holes on the back of your television using the appropriate screws and washers from the accessory kit. Ensure the brackets are oriented correctly (usually with the hooks facing upwards).
4.5. Hanging the Television
- With the help of a second person, carefully lift the television.
- Hook the TV brackets onto the wall mount arm. Ensure the TV is securely seated on the mount.
- Once the TV is hung, use the provided screws to secure the TV brackets to the mount, preventing accidental dislodgement.
5. Operation and Adjustments
The SCHWAIGER 9444 wall mount offers multiple adjustment options for optimal viewing comfort.
5.1. Tilt Adjustment
The TV can be tilted forward by up to 10 degrees and backward by up to 20 degrees. Loosen the tilt adjustment knobs or screws on the TV bracket, adjust to the desired angle, and then re-tighten to secure the position.
5.2. Swivel and Pivot Adjustment
The mount allows for horizontal swivel (left/right) and axial pivot. Gently push or pull the TV to achieve the desired viewing angle. The mount can swivel up to 90 degrees in each direction, depending on TV size and wall distance.
5.3. Distance from Wall Adjustment
The mount can extend the TV from the wall, with an adjustable distance ranging from 5.8 cm to 59.5 cm. Pull the TV gently away from the wall or push it closer to achieve the desired distance.
5.4. Height Adjustment (Gas Spring Technology)
The integrated gas spring technology allows for vertical height adjustment of up to 32 cm. To adjust the height, you may need to fine-tune the tension screw on the gas spring mechanism. This screw typically requires an Allen key. Adjust the tension until the TV can be moved up and down with moderate effort and stays in the desired position.
Note: If the TV is too light, it might not stay down, or if too heavy, it might not stay up. Adjust the gas spring tension accordingly. Refer to the technical drawing for the location of adjustment points.
5.5. Cable Management
The mount features integrated cable routing to keep cables organized and out of sight. Route your TV and power cables along the arms of the mount and secure them with cable ties or clips (not always included) to maintain a tidy appearance.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your TV wall mount.
- Cleaning: Clean the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish.
- Check Connections: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Inspect for Damage: Regularly inspect the mount for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. If any damage is found, discontinue use and contact customer support.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your SCHWAIGER 9444 Motion TV Wall Mount, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| TV does not stay at desired height. | Gas spring tension is incorrect for TV weight. | Adjust the gas spring tension screw using the provided Allen key. Increase tension if the TV sags; decrease if it floats up. |
| TV is difficult to tilt or swivel. | Adjustment screws are too tight. | Loosen the relevant tilt or swivel adjustment screws slightly, adjust the TV, then re-tighten to hold the position. |
| Mount feels unstable after installation. | Wall plate screws are not fully tightened or wall is not suitable. | Ensure all five wall plate screws are securely tightened. If instability persists, the wall may not be adequate; consult a professional. |
| Missing parts or damaged components. | Manufacturing defect or shipping damage. | Do not proceed with installation. Contact SCHWAIGER customer support immediately for assistance. |
