Installation Steps Overview

For a comprehensive visual guide to installation, please refer to the official product video below. The video covers attaching the mount to both flat and curved TVs, as well as securing the mount to concrete and wood stud walls.

1. Attach TV Brackets: Secure the vertical TV brackets to the back of your television using the appropriate screws and spacers from the hardware kit. Ensure the brackets are centered and securely fastened.
2. Mount Wall Plate: Locate the desired mounting position on your wall. Use a stud finder to identify wood studs or mark drill points for concrete/brick. Drill pilot holes and secure the wall plate using the provided lag bolts and washers. Use the magnetic bubble level to ensure the wall plate is perfectly horizontal.
3. Hang TV: Carefully lift your TV with the attached brackets and hook them onto the wall plate. Ensure the TV is securely seated on the wall plate.
4. Secure TV: Tighten the safety screws or locking mechanisms on the TV brackets to prevent the TV from accidentally lifting off the wall plate.

Operating & Adjustments

The PERLESMITH PSLFK3 mount offers a full range of motion to optimize your viewing experience.

• Extension & Retraction: Gently pull the TV away from the wall to extend the arm up to 16 inches, or push it back towards the wall to retract it to 2.8 inches. This allows for easy access to cables and flexible positioning.
• Swivel: The mount allows for a swivel of +/- 60 degrees. This feature enables you to angle your TV left or right to achieve the best viewing angle from different positions in the room.
• Tilt: Adjust the vertical viewing angle by tilting the TV 5 degrees upwards or 15 degrees downwards. This is useful for reducing glare or optimizing viewing from various heights. Loosen the tilt adjustment knobs, set the desired angle, and then re-tighten the knobs to secure.
• Level Adjustment: If your TV appears slightly unlevel after installation, you can adjust it by +/- 3 degrees. This fine-tuning ensures a perfectly horizontal display.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your PERLESMITH PSLFK3 wall mount.

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the mount. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
• Check Connections: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Over time, vibrations or frequent adjustments can cause fasteners to loosen.
• Lubrication: If the articulating arms become stiff or difficult to move, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the pivot points. Avoid oil-based lubricants that may attract dust.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your wall mount, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• TV is not level:
  • Ensure the wall plate was installed level using the provided bubble level.
  • Utilize the +/- 3 degree level adjustment feature on the mount to fine-tune the TV's horizontal position.
• Mount is difficult to move/adjust:
  • Check if any bolts or screws on the articulating arms are overtightened. Loosen them slightly if necessary.
  • Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the pivot points of the arms.
• TV feels unstable on the mount:
  • Verify that all wall plate lag bolts are securely fastened into the wood studs or concrete.
  • Ensure the TV brackets are properly hooked onto the wall plate and the safety screws/locking mechanisms are engaged.
  • Confirm your TV's weight does not exceed the mount's 132 lbs capacity.
• Missing parts or damaged components:
  • Do not proceed with installation. Contact PERLESMITH customer support immediately for assistance.
