Mounting TV to Wall Plate
With assistance, carefully lift the television and hook the TV brackets onto the wall plate. Secure the TV to the mount using the locking mechanisms. Perform a final check to ensure the TV is level and securely attached.
3. Operating the Mount
The SLF226-B2 mount offers flexible adjustments to optimize your viewing experience.
Extension and Swivel
Gently pull the television away from the wall to extend the articulating arms. The mount allows for extension up to 66 cm (26 inches) from the wall.

Tilt Adjustment
The mount features exclusive tilting technology, allowing for effortless tilt motion with a touch of a finger. You can tilt the TV from +4 degrees to -15 degrees to reduce glare or optimize viewing from different heights.
Post-Installation Level and Shift
After installation, fine-tune the TV's position using the post-install level and shift adjustments to ensure it is perfectly horizontal and centered.
Cable Management
Utilize the integrated cable management channels along the mount arms to secure and conceal loose cables, providing a clean and organized appearance.
4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your TV mount.
- Cleaning: Dust the mount periodically with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, then wipe dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Periodic Checks: Annually, inspect all mounting hardware and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Check for any signs of wear or damage to the articulating arms or joints.
- Lubrication: The mount's joints are designed for smooth operation and typically do not require lubrication. If movement becomes stiff, consult customer support.
