Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for a secure installation. It is recommended to have two people for installation.
- Step 1: Attach VESA Plate to TV. Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface. Align the VESA plate with the mounting holes on the back of your TV. Secure it using the appropriate screws and spacers (if needed) from the provided hardware kit.
- Step 2: Mount Wall Plate to Wall. Locate a suitable mounting position on your wall. Use a stud finder for wood stud walls. For concrete or brick walls, use a masonry drill bit and anchors. Mark the drill holes and securely screw the wall plate to the wall. Ensure it is level.
- Step 3: Hang TV onto Wall Plate. With assistance, carefully lift the TV (with the VESA plate attached) and hook it onto the wall plate. Ensure the TV is securely seated on the wall mount.
- Step 4: Secure TV to Mount. Tighten any safety screws or locking mechanisms to prevent the TV from accidentally dislodging from the mount.

- Tilt Adjustment: The TV plate can be tilted up 5 degrees and down 15 degrees. Loosen the tilt knobs, adjust to the desired angle, and re-tighten.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your TV wall mount.
- Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight and secure.
- Clean the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspect the mount for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. If any issues are found, contact customer support.
- Ensure cables are properly managed using the included cable holders to prevent strain or damage.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- TV is not level: Check the wall plate installation to ensure it is perfectly level. Some mounts allow for minor post-installation leveling adjustments; refer to the specific mechanism on your mount.
- Mount feels loose: Re-tighten all mounting screws on both the wall plate and the TV plate. Ensure the wall type is appropriate and the anchors (if used) are correctly installed.
- Difficulty adjusting angle: Check for any tightened locking mechanisms. Ensure no cables are obstructing movement. If the TV is at the maximum weight capacity, adjustments might require more effort.
- Missing parts: Refer to the package contents list. If parts are missing, contact customer support immediately.
