5.2 Attaching TV Brackets to TV

This mount is specifically designed for corner installations, allowing for flexible placement in both inside and outside corners, as well as offset walls.
Image: Examples of how the mount adapts to various wall shapes, including inside corners, outside corners, and offset wall installations.
- Locate Studs/Mark Holes:
- For wood stud installation: Use a stud finder to locate the center of the wood studs in the desired corner. Mark the drilling points for the wall plates. Ensure the stud spacing is appropriate for the mount (if your wood stud spacing exceeds 16 inches, refer to model PSXFK1).
- For concrete/brick installation: Mark the drilling points directly on the wall.
- Drill Pilot Holes:
- For wood studs: Drill pilot holes using a 7/32 inch (5.5mm) drill bit to a depth of 2.75 inches (70mm).
- For concrete/brick: Drill pilot holes using a 3/8 inch (10mm) masonry drill bit to a depth of 2.95 inches (75mm). Insert concrete anchors into the holes, ensuring they are flush with the wall surface.
- Attach Wall Plates:
- Align the left and right wall plates with the drilled pilot holes.
- Secure the wall plates to the wall using the provided lag bolts and washers. Tighten firmly with a socket wrench, but do not overtighten.
- Use the included spirit level to ensure the wall plates are perfectly level before fully tightening.

7. Maintenance
- Periodically check that all screws and connections are secure. Retighten if necessary.
- Clean the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Ensure the articulating arms move smoothly. If movement becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the pivot points.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| TV is not level after installation. | Wall plates not perfectly level, or post-installation leveling not adjusted. | Use the post-installation leveling feature (+/-3°) to fine-tune. Loosen leveling screws, adjust, then retighten. |
| Mount feels loose or unstable. | Screws not fully tightened, or incorrect wall type/anchors used. | Ensure all lag bolts and TV bracket screws are securely tightened. Verify installation on appropriate wall type (wood stud, concrete, brick). Do not install on drywall alone. |
| TV does not fit the mount. | Incorrect TV size or VESA pattern. | Confirm your TV's size (26-60 inches) and VESA pattern (max 400x400mm) are compatible with this mount. |
| Difficulty adjusting tilt/swivel. | Tilt knobs too tight, or pivot points need lubrication. | Loosen tilt knobs before adjusting. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to articulating joints if movement is stiff. |
