4.1. Check TV Compatibility and VESA Pattern
This mount is compatible with TVs from 23 to 65 inches and supports a maximum weight of 35 kg. Verify your TV's VESA mounting pattern. The mount supports VESA patterns including 75x75, 100x100, 200x100, 200x200, 400x200, 300x300, and 400x400 mm.

4.2. Step-by-Step Installation
Refer to the installation diagram for visual guidance.
Image: A three-step visual guide for installation. Step 1 shows attaching the front panel to the TV. Step 2 shows installing the wall mount to a wooden beam or concrete/brick wall. Step 3 shows attaching the TV to the mount.
- Step 1: Install the TV Mounting Plate to your TV.
Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface. Attach the TV mounting plate (the VESA compatible arms) to the back of your TV using the appropriate screws and spacers. Ensure the plate is oriented correctly, usually with the larger opening facing upwards for easier attachment to the wall plate.
- Step 2: Install the Wall Plate Assembly to the Wall.
Choose a suitable location on your wall. Use a stud finder to locate wood studs if installing on drywall. For concrete or brick walls, use a masonry drill bit and the provided wall anchors. Mark the drilling points using the wall plate as a template. Drill pilot holes, then secure the wall plate assembly firmly to the wall using the appropriate screws. Ensure the mount is level.
- Step 3: Attach the TV to the Wall Mount.
With assistance, carefully lift the TV with the attached mounting plate. Align the TV mounting plate with the wall plate assembly and slide it into place. Ensure the TV is securely hooked onto the wall mount. Tighten any safety screws or locking mechanisms to prevent accidental dislodgement.
5. Operating the Mount
This tri-articulated mount offers flexible viewing angles.
5.1. Adjusting Distance from Wall
The mount allows you to extend your TV from the wall or push it back for a compact profile. The minimum distance from the wall is approximately 55 mm, and the maximum extension is approximately 430 mm.

5.2. Swivel Adjustment
The articulated arm allows for significant left and right swivel, up to 90 degrees in each direction, depending on TV size and wall clearance. Gently push or pull the TV to achieve your desired viewing angle.
