5. Setup and Installation
Before you begin, ensure you have the necessary tools: drill, stud finder (for wood studs), level, measuring tape, pencil, and a screwdriver.
5.1. Determine Mounting Location
Choose a suitable outdoor wall location. The mount is designed for patios, decks, and balconies. Ensure the wall structure can support the combined weight of the mount and your TV.

5.2. Attach TV Brackets to Television
- Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface.
- Identify the VESA mounting holes on the back of your TV.
- Select the appropriate screws and spacers from the hardware kit that fit your TV's VESA pattern.
- Attach the two TV bracket arms to the back of your TV, ensuring they are centered and securely fastened. The arrows on the brackets should point upwards.
5.3. Install Wall Plate to Wall
- Hold the wall plate against the wall at your desired height and use a level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal. Mark the drilling locations with a pencil.
- Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. For wood studs, use a smaller drill bit. For concrete or brick, use a masonry drill bit and insert wall anchors.
- Secure the wall plate to the wall using the provided lag bolts and washers. Tighten all bolts firmly, but do not overtighten.
5.4. Mount Television to Wall Plate
- With assistance, carefully lift the TV with the attached brackets and hook the brackets onto the top edge of the wall plate.
- Allow the TV to hang freely, ensuring the brackets are properly seated on the wall plate.
- Secure the TV to the wall plate using the safety screws or locking mechanism at the bottom of the TV bracket arms. This prevents accidental dislodgement.

6. Operating Instructions
6.1. Adjusting Tilt Angle
The Mount Plus OB-600 features a free-tilting design, allowing you to adjust the TV's vertical viewing angle. Loosen the tilt adjustment knobs on the sides of the TV bracket arms, adjust the TV to the desired angle (+5° to -10°), and then tighten the knobs to secure the position.

6.2. Level Adjustment
After installation, if minor leveling adjustments are needed, the mount allows for a built-in level adjustment of ±5mm (±0.19"). This feature helps ensure your TV is perfectly horizontal.

6.3. Anti-Theft Feature
The mount includes an anti-theft design. Once the TV is mounted, a padlock (not included) can be inserted through the designated hole on the bottom of the TV bracket arms to deter unauthorized removal of the television.
7. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and safe operation of your Mount Plus OB-600, regular maintenance is recommended, especially in outdoor environments.
- Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the powder-coated finish.
- Inspection: Periodically check all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they are tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Corrosion Check: Although designed for outdoor use with a powder-coated finish and stainless steel screws, regularly inspect for any signs of rust or corrosion, especially in coastal or harsh weather conditions. Address any issues promptly.

8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| TV appears crooked after installation. | Wall plate not level, or TV not level on brackets. | Use the built-in level adjustment feature (±5mm) to fine-tune the TV's horizontal position. If the wall plate is significantly off, you may need to re-install it. |
| TV is difficult to tilt or does not stay in position. | Tilt adjustment knobs are too tight or too loose. | Loosen the tilt adjustment knobs to adjust the angle, then tighten them firmly to secure the TV in the desired position. |
| Mount feels unstable. | Loose fasteners, incorrect installation, or unsuitable wall material. | Immediately remove the TV. Check all wall plate and TV bracket fasteners for tightness. Ensure the wall material is appropriate and anchors are correctly installed. Consult a professional if unsure. |
