Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the safety and performance of your Sanus wall mount. Please read all instructions carefully before beginning. It is recommended to have a second person assist with the installation of large televisions.
Required Tools (Not Included):
- Stud finder
- Drill with appropriate drill bits
- Level
- Phillips head screwdriver
- Tape measure
- Pencil
Installation Steps:
- Locate Wall Studs: Use a stud finder to locate and mark the center of two adjacent wooden studs in your desired mounting location. Ensure the studs are strong enough to support the weight of your TV and the mount.
- Position Wall Plate: Hold the wall plate against the wall, aligning it with your marked stud centers. Use a level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal. Mark the drilling locations through the holes on the wall plate.
- 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 provided. Refer to the included hardware guide for specific recommendations.
- Attach Wall Plate: Secure the wall plate to the wall using the provided lag bolts and washers. Tighten all bolts firmly, but do not overtighten.
- Attach TV Brackets: Attach the vertical TV brackets to the back of your television using the appropriate screws and spacers from the hardware kit. Ensure the brackets are centered and securely fastened to the VESA mounting holes on your TV.
- Mount TV to Wall Plate: With assistance, carefully lift the television and hook the TV brackets onto the wall plate. Ensure both brackets are securely seated on the wall plate's rails.
- Secure TV: Engage the safety locking mechanisms on the TV brackets to prevent accidental dislodgement. These mechanisms typically involve tightening screws or engaging latches at the bottom of the brackets.

Maintenance

- Cleaning: Dust the mount periodically with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Check Connections: Annually, or if you notice any movement, re-check all mounting screws and bolts for tightness. Ensure the TV brackets are still securely locked onto the wall plate.
- Cable Management: Periodically inspect cables routed through or around the mount to ensure they are not pinched, frayed, or under excessive tension.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Sanus wall mount, please refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| TV is not level. | Wall plate not level during installation; TV brackets not adjusted correctly. | Check the level of the wall plate. Some mounts allow for post-installation leveling adjustments on the TV brackets. Consult the detailed installation guide for your specific model. |
| TV feels loose or wobbly. | Mounting screws are loose; TV not properly seated on the wall plate; incorrect hardware used. | Immediately remove the TV. Re-tighten all wall plate and TV bracket screws. Ensure the TV is fully engaged with the wall plate's locking mechanisms. Verify correct hardware was used for your TV and wall type. |
| Difficulty tilting the TV. | Tilt mechanism is too tight; cables are obstructing movement. | Check for any adjustment knobs or screws on the tilt mechanism that might need loosening. Ensure cables are not caught or preventing movement. |
