5. Setup and Installation

The MOUNTUP MU0014 TV wall mount is designed for easy installation. Follow these steps carefully.

5.1 Pre-Installation Checklist

• Check TV Weight and VESA Pattern: Ensure your TV weighs less than 88 lbs (40 kg) and has a VESA pattern between 100x100mm and 400x400mm.
• Determine Wall Type: This mount is suitable for single wood studs, solid concrete, or brick walls. DO NOT install on drywall alone.
• Gather Tools: You will need a stud finder, drill, level, Phillips head screwdriver, and a socket wrench (for lag bolts).

5.2 Step-by-Step Installation

1. Attach TV Brackets to TV:
   • Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface.
   • Identify the correct screws, washers, and spacers from the hardware kit that fit your TV's VESA mounting holes.
   • Attach the two vertical TV bracket arms to the back of your TV using the selected hardware. Ensure the arms are centered and securely fastened.

2. Mount Wall Plate to Wall:
   • For Wood Stud Installation: Use a stud finder to locate the center of a single wood stud. Mark the desired height for the top mounting hole. Use the provided template or the wall plate itself to mark the remaining drill holes. Pre-drill pilot holes (recommended size: 5/32" or 4mm) into the center of the stud. Secure the wall plate using the lag bolts and washers.
   • For Concrete/Brick Wall Installation: Mark the desired drill holes. Pre-drill pilot holes (recommended size: 3/8" or 10mm) to a depth of 2.36 inches (60mm). Insert concrete anchors into the pilot holes. Secure the wall plate using the lag bolts and washers.
   • Use the included bubble level to ensure the wall plate is perfectly horizontal before fully tightening all lag bolts.

3. Hang TV onto Wall Plate:
   • With assistance, carefully lift the TV with the attached brackets and hook them onto the wall plate.
   • Ensure the TV is securely seated on the wall plate.
   • Tighten the safety screws located on the bottom of the TV brackets to prevent accidental dislodging.

5.3 Post-Installation Leveling

After hanging the TV, you can make fine adjustments to ensure it is perfectly level.

• The mount allows for a +/-3° post-installation leveling adjustment.
• Loosen the leveling bolts slightly, adjust the TV to the desired level, and then re-tighten the bolts.
