4.1 Tools Required (Not Included)

• Stud Finder
• Drill with appropriate drill bits
• Socket Wrench or Adjustable Wrench
• Phillips Head Screwdriver
• Pencil
• Measuring Tape

4.2 Attaching the Wall Plate to the Wall

1. Determine Mounting Location: Use a stud finder to locate the center of a wooden stud. Mark the desired height for the top of your TV. Ensure the location allows for full motion of the TV without obstruction.
2. Position Wall Plate: Hold the wall plate assembly against the wall at the marked location. Use the built-in leveler to ensure it is perfectly horizontal. Mark the drill holes with a pencil.
3. Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes into the marked locations. For wood studs, use a 5/32 inch (4 mm) drill bit. For concrete or brick walls, use a 3/8 inch (10 mm) masonry drill bit and insert wall anchors (if provided and suitable for your wall type).
4. Secure Wall Plate: Attach the wall plate to the wall using the lag bolts and washers provided. Tighten securely, but do not overtighten.

4.3 Attaching TV Brackets to the Television

1. Select TV Screws: Choose the correct diameter and length of screws that fit your TV's mounting holes. Refer to your TV's manual for VESA pattern and screw size. Use spacers if the TV back is uneven or if screws are too long.
2. Attach Brackets: Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface. Align the TV bracket assembly with the mounting holes on the back of your TV. Secure the brackets using the selected screws and washers. Ensure the brackets are centered and level.

4.4 Hanging the Television on the Wall Mount

1. Lift and Hook: With assistance, carefully lift the television with the attached brackets. Hook the TV brackets onto the wall plate assembly.
2. Secure TV: Locate the safety screws or locking mechanisms on the TV brackets. Tighten these to secure the TV to the wall mount, preventing accidental dislodgement.
