- TV Size & Weight: Fits most 26-60 inch TVs, up to 77 lbs.
- VESA Compatibility: Supports VESA patterns from 100x100mm to 400x400mm. Measure the horizontal and vertical distance between the mounting holes on the back of your TV.

4.2 Attaching TV Brackets to TV
Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches. Attach the two vertical TV brackets to the back of your TV using the appropriate screws, washers, and spacers from the hardware kit. Ensure the brackets are centered and securely fastened.

4.3 Mounting Wall Plate
Determine the desired height for your TV. Use a stud finder to locate the center of a wood stud for wood stud installation, or mark drill points for concrete/brick walls. Drill pilot holes and securely attach the wall plate using the provided lag bolts and washers.

4.4 Hanging the TV
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 mount. Tighten the security screws on the bottom of the TV brackets to prevent accidental dislodgement.
4.5 Post-Installation Adjustments
The mount allows for various adjustments to achieve optimal viewing angles.
- Height Adjustment: The TV brackets offer 3 levels of height adjustment after installation.
- Tilt: Adjust the tilt angle from +5° to -15° to reduce glare.
- Swivel: Swivel the TV up to +/-90° for flexible viewing from different positions.
- Extension: Extend the arm out up to 19.51 inches or retract it back to 3.53 inches from the wall.
- Leveling: Post-installation leveling of +/-3° allows for perfect TV placement.

5. Operating the Mount
Once installed, the Pipishell Full Motion TV Wall Mount provides versatile positioning for your television. Gently push or pull the TV to extend or retract the arm. Rotate the TV screen to achieve the desired swivel angle. Use the tilt adjustment knobs or levers (if applicable) to set the vertical viewing angle.
Always move the TV smoothly and avoid sudden jerks to prevent undue stress on the mount or wall.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your TV mount.
- Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and connections to ensure they are tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Movement: If the articulating arm becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the pivot points, avoiding contact with the TV or wall.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| TV not level after installation. | Wall plate not perfectly level, or TV slightly off-center. | Use the post-installation leveling feature (±3°) to adjust the TV. Recheck wall plate level if necessary. |
| Mount feels loose or wobbly. | Loose fasteners, incorrect wall anchors, or insufficient wall support. | Immediately remove TV. Re-tighten all screws and lag bolts. Ensure proper wall type and stud location. If wall is damaged, consult a professional. |
| TV does not fit the mount. | Incorrect VESA pattern or TV weight exceeds capacity. | Verify your TV's VESA pattern and weight against the mount's specifications (100x100mm to 400x400mm, max 77 lbs). |
| Arm movement is stiff. | Lack of lubrication or dust accumulation. | Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the articulating joints. Clean any dust or debris. |
