To ensure the longevity and proper function of your TV mount:

• Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

If you encounter issues with your TV mount, consider the following:

• TV Not Level: Check the level correction mechanism and ensure the wall plate is installed perfectly level. Adjust as needed.
• Mount Feels Loose: Re-tighten all mounting screws on both the wall plate and the TV brackets. Ensure the wall anchors (if used) are properly seated.
• Difficulty Adjusting: Ensure no cables are snagged or obstructing movement. Check for any debris in the articulating joints.
• TV Sagging: Verify that your TV's weight does not exceed the maximum capacity of 132 lbs (60 KG). Ensure all connections are secure.
