4. Installation Instructions

Follow these steps carefully for a secure installation. It is recommended to have a second person assist during certain stages, especially when mounting the TV.

4.1. Prepare the Wall Mount

1. Remove the VESA plate from the main arm assembly. This is typically secured with screws that will need to be loosened or removed.
2. Remove the decorative cover from the wall plate to expose the mounting holes.
3. If your TV's VESA pattern requires it, attach the VESA extension adapter arms to the VESA plate using the provided screws. Refer to the VESA pattern compatibility in the specifications section.

4.2. Mount the Wall Plate to the Wall

For Concrete or Brick Walls:

1. Position the wall plate assembly on the desired location on the wall. Use a level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal.
2. Mark the drill holes through the wall plate onto the wall using a pencil.
3. Drill pilot holes using a 1/4" (6mm) masonry drill bit. For larger anchors, enlarge pilot holes using a 3/8" (10mm) masonry drill bit.
4. Insert the nylon anchors into the drilled holes until flush with the wall surface.
5. Align the wall plate with the anchors and secure it using the provided lag bolts and washers. Tighten firmly but do not overtighten.
6. Install the decorative cover over the wall plate.

For Indoor Framed Walls with Wood Studs:

1. Use a stud finder to locate the center of a wood stud. Mark the center line.
2. Position the wall plate assembly on the desired location, ensuring the mounting holes align with the center of the stud. Use a level to ensure it is horizontal.
3. Mark the drill holes through the wall plate onto the stud using a pencil.
4. Drill pilot holes using a 3/16" (4.5mm) wood drill bit.
5. Align the wall plate with the pilot holes and secure it using the provided lag bolts and washers. Tighten firmly but do not overtighten.
6. Install the decorative cover over the wall plate.

4.3. Attach Mounting Brackets to the TV

For Flat TVs:

1. Manually identify the proper bracket screws for your TV by testing different sizes (M4, M6, M8) with the TV's mounting holes. Do not force screws.
2. Attach the VESA plate (with extension arms if used) to the back of your flat TV using the identified screws and appropriate washers/spacers. Ensure it is securely fastened.

For Curved TVs:

1. Manually identify the proper bracket screws for your TV.
2. Attach the VESA plate (with extension arms if used) to the back of your curved TV using the identified screws and appropriate washers/spacers. Ensure the spacers are used to create a flat mounting surface and prevent damage to the TV.

For Recessed TVs:

1. Manually identify the proper bracket screws for your TV.
2. Attach the VESA plate (with extension arms if used) to the back of your recessed TV using the identified screws and appropriate washers/spacers. Ensure the spacers are used to bridge any recessed areas and create a flat mounting surface.

4.4. Mount the TV to the Wall Plate

1. With assistance, carefully lift the TV and align the VESA plate on the back of the TV with the main arm assembly on the wall.
2. Hook the VESA plate onto the main arm assembly. Ensure it is securely seated.
3. Tighten any locking screws or mechanisms on the VESA plate to secure the TV to the mount. Use the included small level to make final adjustments to ensure the TV is level.

5. Operating Instructions

Your full motion TV wall mount allows for flexible viewing adjustments.

• Extension: Gently pull the TV away from the wall to extend the arm. The mount extends up to 16.85 inches.
• Retraction: Push the TV gently towards the wall to retract the arm. The mount retracts to 3.27 inches from the wall.
• Swivel: The TV can swivel 90 to 180 degrees from left to right, depending on TV size and wall clearance. Gently push the TV to the desired angle.
• Tilt: The TV can be tilted +3° to -15° to reduce glare or achieve a better viewing angle. Loosen the tilt adjustment screws, adjust the angle, and then re-tighten the screws to secure the position.

7. Maintenance

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

• Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Periodic Checks: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Lubrication: The moving parts are designed for smooth operation and generally do not require lubrication. If movement becomes stiff, consult customer support.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• TV is not level: Ensure the wall plate is level during installation. For minor adjustments, use the leveling screws on the VESA plate if available, or re-adjust the wall plate.
• Mount feels loose: Re-check all wall mounting bolts and TV attachment screws. Ensure they are tightened securely. Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 50 lbs.
• Difficulty adjusting movement: Check for any obstructions. Ensure all adjustment screws (e.g., for tilt) are loosened before attempting to move, and re-tightened afterward.
