4.3 Attaching to Television
- Identify VESA Pattern: Locate the mounting holes on the back of your television. Measure the horizontal and vertical distance between these holes to determine the VESA pattern (e.g., 200x200mm).
- Select TV Screws: Choose the correct diameter and length of screws from the provided hardware kit that fit your TV's mounting holes. Use washers and spacers if necessary to ensure a snug fit without overtightening.
- Attach TV Mounting Plate: Secure the TV mounting plate to the back of your television using the selected screws. Do not overtighten.

4.4 Mounting TV to Wall Plate
- Lift and Hook: With assistance, carefully lift the television with the attached mounting plate and hook it onto the wall-mounted arm assembly.
- Secure TV: Ensure the TV is securely seated on the mount. Depending on the design, there may be safety screws or locking mechanisms to prevent accidental dislodgement. Engage these mechanisms as per the specific instructions provided with your mount.
5. Operating Instructions
The SCHWAIGER LWHD5530 mount offers various adjustments for optimal viewing.
5.1 Adjusting Tilt
The mount allows for vertical tilt adjustment. Loosen the tilt adjustment knobs or bolts on the TV mounting plate, adjust the screen to the desired angle (up to 15 degrees), and then securely tighten the knobs/bolts to fix the position.

6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Periodic Checks: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Over time, vibrations or adjustments may cause fasteners to loosen.
- Lubrication: The moving parts of the mount are designed for maintenance-free operation. Do not apply lubricants unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer.
7. Troubleshooting
- TV is not level: Check the wall plate installation to ensure it is level. Adjust the TV mounting plate if it has a leveling feature.
- Difficulty adjusting the mount: Ensure no cables are obstructing movement. Check if any adjustment knobs or bolts are overtightened. For gas spring models, ensure the gas spring tension is correctly set for your TV's weight.
- Mount feels unstable: Immediately remove the TV from the mount. Re-check all wall mounting and TV attachment screws for tightness. Verify that the wall structure is adequate for the combined weight.
