5. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps carefully to ensure a secure installation. Tools required (not included): drill, stud finder, level, screwdriver, pencil.
- Pre-Installation Check:
- Identify the type of wall (wood stud, concrete, brick). Ensure it can support the weight.
- Locate wall studs if installing on a wood stud wall.
- Verify your TV's VESA mounting pattern matches the mount's compatibility.
- Mounting the Wall Plate:
Position the wall plate on the desired location on the wall. Use a level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal. Mark the drilling points with a pencil. Drill pilot holes according to the wall type and secure the wall plate using the appropriate fasteners provided.

- Attaching TV Brackets:
Attach the vertical TV brackets to the back of your television using the correct screws and spacers for your TV model. Ensure they are securely fastened and evenly spaced.

- Mounting TV to Wall Plate:
Carefully lift the television with the attached brackets and hook them onto the wall plate. Ensure the brackets are properly seated and engaged with the wall plate's mechanism.

- Securing the TV:
Once the TV is hooked, use the safety screws or locking mechanisms to secure the TV brackets to the wall plate. This prevents accidental dislodgement.
6. Operating Instructions
The Maclean MC-881 offers flexible adjustments for optimal viewing.
- Extension and Retraction: The mount can be extended from 77 mm to 428 mm from the wall. Gently pull or push the TV to achieve the desired distance.
- Swivel Adjustment: The TV can be swiveled up to +/-60 degrees horizontally. Carefully rotate the TV to the left or right to adjust the viewing angle for different seating positions.
- Tilt Adjustment: The TV can be tilted from +3 degrees (upward) to -15 degrees (downward). Loosen the tilt adjustment knobs, set the desired angle, and then re-tighten the knobs to secure the position.
- Rotation Adjustment: A fine-tuning rotation of +/-3 degrees is available to ensure the TV is perfectly level after installation. Adjust as needed using the leveling screws.
- Cable Management: Utilize the integrated cable clips on the articulating arms to route and organize your TV cables, keeping them tidy and preventing snagging during adjustments.

7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the finish.
- Periodic Inspection: Regularly check all mounting screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary, but do not overtighten.
- Lubrication: Moving parts are designed for smooth operation and generally do not require lubrication. If movement becomes stiff, ensure no debris is obstructing the joints.
8. Troubleshooting
- Mount feels loose or unstable:
- Ensure all wall plate fasteners are securely tightened into appropriate wall studs or anchors.
- Verify that the TV brackets are correctly hooked onto the wall plate and secured with safety screws.
- TV is not level:
- Use the +/-3 degree rotation adjustment feature to fine-tune the TV's horizontal level.
- Difficulty adjusting tilt or swivel:
- For tilt, ensure the tilt adjustment knobs are sufficiently loosened before attempting to change the angle. Re-tighten after adjustment.
- Check for any cables or obstructions that might be impeding movement.
