4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps carefully for a secure installation. A second person is recommended for certain steps.
4.1. Choose Mounting Location
This mount is versatile for both corner and flat wall installations. For corner mounting, the split backplates allow attachment to two adjacent walls. For flat wall mounting, both plates can be secured to a single wall.

4.3. Wall Plate Installation
- Locate and mark the desired mounting height and position on the wall. For corner mounting, ensure the two wall plates align correctly on adjacent walls.
- Use a stud finder to locate wood studs if mounting into drywall. Mark the center of the studs. For concrete/brick walls, use a masonry drill bit and appropriate anchors.
- Drill pilot holes at the marked locations.
- Attach the wall plates to the wall using the provided lag bolts and washers. Ensure they are securely fastened and level.
4.4. TV Bracket Attachment
- Attach the TV brackets to the back of your television using the appropriate VESA screws, washers, and spacers from the hardware kit. Ensure the screws are tightened securely but do not overtighten.
- Carefully lift the TV with the attached brackets and hook them onto the main mount assembly.
- Secure the TV to the mount using the safety screws or locking mechanisms provided.
5. Operating Instructions

6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
- Check Connections: Periodically (e.g., every 6 months) inspect all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Moving Parts: The articulating arms and swivel points are designed for smooth movement. No lubrication is typically required. If movement becomes stiff, check for debris or loose fasteners.
7. Troubleshooting
- TV does not fit: Double-check your TV's VESA pattern against the supported patterns (100x100 to 400x400 mm). Also, ensure your TV's diagonal size is within the recommended 32-48 inch range. For corner installations, wider TVs (e.g., some 55-inch models) may have limited clearance or not fit at all, even if their VESA pattern is compatible.
- Mount feels unstable: Ensure all lag bolts securing the wall plates are fully tightened into solid wood studs or appropriate concrete anchors. Verify that the TV is correctly hooked onto the mount and secured with safety screws. Do not exceed the 66 lbs weight capacity.
- TV is not level: Use the post-installation leveling adjustment (up to 5 degrees) to fine-tune the TV's horizontal position. If the mount itself is significantly off-level, you may need to re-install the wall plates.
- Difficulty with movement: Check for any obstructions or cables interfering with the articulating arms. Ensure no fasteners are overtightened, restricting movement.
- Missing parts: If any parts were missing from the package, contact Mount-It! customer support immediately for replacements.
