Setup and Assembly
Before beginning assembly, ensure all components are present and undamaged. Refer to the included hardware pack for specific fasteners. A Phillips head screwdriver and possibly a wrench may be required (not included).
Component Checklist:
- Base Plate
- Support Column
- TV Mounting Plate
- Vertical TV Brackets (2)
- Hardware Pack (screws, washers, spacers, nuts)
Assembly Steps:
- Attach Support Column to Base: Secure the main support column to the base plate using the designated screws from the hardware pack. Ensure it is firmly tightened to prevent wobbling.
- Assemble TV Mounting Plate: Connect the TV mounting plate to the top of the support column. This connection typically involves bolts and nuts, allowing for the swivel mechanism.
- Attach Vertical TV Brackets to TV: Carefully place your television face down on a soft, clean surface. Attach the two vertical TV brackets to the VESA mounting holes on the back of your TV using the appropriate screws, washers, and spacers from the hardware pack. Ensure the brackets are level and securely fastened.
- Mount TV to Stand: With assistance, carefully lift the television and hook the attached vertical brackets onto the TV mounting plate on the stand. Secure the TV in place using the provided locking mechanisms or screws to prevent accidental dislodgement.
- Cable Management: Utilize any integrated cable management features within the support column to route and conceal TV and component cables for a tidy appearance.
Important: Always ensure the TV stand is placed on a stable, level surface. Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of the stand (refer to specifications).
Operating Instructions
The Sanus Accents Universal TV Stand offers convenient features for optimal viewing.
Swivel Function:
The stand allows for a swivel range of up to 74 degrees (37 degrees left and 37 degrees right) without the need for tools. To adjust the viewing angle, gently grasp the sides of your television and rotate it to the desired position. Ensure no cables are snagged or pulled during rotation.
Height Adjustment:
The TV height can be adjusted up to 4.7 inches to accommodate soundbars, sound bases, or other components placed below the TV. This adjustment is typically performed during the initial setup by selecting different mounting points on the vertical TV brackets or the main support column. Refer to the assembly instructions for specific height adjustment mechanisms.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your TV stand.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the stand. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by drying thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish.
- Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Loose connections can affect stability and safety.
- Swivel Mechanism: The swivel mechanism is designed for smooth operation. Avoid forcing the TV if it feels stiff; check for obstructions. No lubrication is typically required.
