Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the safety and performance of your TV mount. It is highly recommended to have at least two people for installation.

Tools Required (Not Included):

• Stud Finder
• Drill
• Level
• Phillips Head Screwdriver
• Pencil
• Tape Measure

Step-by-Step Installation:

1. Prepare the TV: Lay your TV face down on a soft, clean surface. Attach the two TV brackets to the back of your TV using the appropriate screws and spacers from the hardware kit. Ensure the brackets are centered and securely fastened to the VESA mounting holes.
2. Locate Wall Studs: Use a stud finder to locate the center of two adjacent wooden studs in your desired mounting location. Mark these locations with a pencil. For concrete or brick walls, use appropriate anchors (not always included, check hardware kit).
3. Position the Wall Plate: Hold the wall plate against the wall, aligning the mounting holes with the marked stud centers. Use a level to ensure the wall plate is perfectly horizontal. Mark the drill hole locations.
4. Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. The size of the drill bit will depend on the type of wall and the lag bolts being used. Refer to the hardware kit instructions for specific drill bit sizes.
5. Attach Wall Plate: Secure the wall plate to the wall using the lag bolts and washers. Tighten all bolts firmly, but do not overtighten.
6. Hang the TV: With assistance, carefully lift the TV and hook the TV brackets onto the top edge of the wall plate. Gently lower the TV until the brackets engage with the wall plate.
7. Secure the TV: Locate the safety screws or locking mechanisms on the bottom of the TV brackets. Tighten these to secure the TV to the wall plate and prevent accidental dislodgement.

Operating the Tilting Feature

The Rocketfish Tilting TV Wall Mount allows for easy adjustment of your TV's vertical viewing angle.

• Ensure all cables are clear and not pinched when adjusting the tilt.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your TV mount.
