Setup and Installation

This section guides you through the process of mounting your ECHOGEAR TV wall mount.

Step 1: Attach Brackets to TV

Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface. Attach the two TV brackets to the back of your television using the appropriate screws, washers, and spacers from the hardware kit. Ensure they are securely fastened.

Step 2: Secure Wall Plate

Determine the desired mounting location on your wall. Use the provided drilling template to mark the pilot hole locations. For wood stud installation, ensure the wall plate is centered on the studs. For concrete/masonry, use appropriate anchors. Drill pilot holes and securely fasten the wall plate to the wall using the lag bolts.
