2. Mounting the Wall Plate

1. Locate the desired mounting position on your wall. Use a stud finder to locate the center of two adjacent wood studs if mounting to wood. For concrete/brick, ensure the area is solid.
2. Place the wall plate against the wall at the desired height and use the included bubble level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal.
3. Mark the drill holes through the wall plate.
4. Drill pilot holes according to the instructions for your specific wall type (wood studs, concrete, or brick).
5. Secure the wall plate to the wall using the appropriate lag bolts and washers. Ensure it is firmly attached.

3. Attaching TV Brackets to Television

1. Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
2. Identify the correct size screws (M4, M6, or M8) and spacers for your TV's VESA mounting holes.
3. Attach the two vertical TV brackets to the back of your television using the selected screws and spacers. Ensure the brackets are centered and securely fastened. The unique spacer design helps align threaded holes.

4. Mounting Television to Wall Plate

1. With assistance, carefully lift the television with the attached brackets.
2. Hook the TV brackets onto the wall plate. Ensure the brackets are securely seated on the mount's arms.
3. Engage any safety locks or screws on the TV brackets to prevent accidental dislodgement.

Operating the Mount

Your FORGING MOUNT TV mount offers full motion capabilities for optimal viewing angles.

• Extension: The mount extends up to 43 inches from the wall, allowing for maximum versatility and maneuverability.
• Tilt: Adjust the tilt angle from +5° to -10° to reduce glare and optimize viewing. This can typically be adjusted by hand.
• Swivel: Swivel the TV up to 180° left or right, depending on TV size and wall clearance, to achieve the perfect viewing angle from various positions in a room.
• Level Adjustment: Fine-tune the level of your TV by ±3° after installation to ensure a perfectly straight display.
