Setup
Pre-Installation Checklist
- Verify TV Compatibility: Ensure your TV's size (26-60 inches), weight (under 77 lbs), and VESA pattern (75x75mm to 400x400mm) are compatible with the mount.
- Identify Wall Type: Determine if your wall is wood stud, solid concrete, or brick. DO NOT install on drywall alone.
- Gather Tools: You will need a stud finder, drill, level, measuring tape, pencil, and a Phillips head screwdriver.

Installation Steps
- Step 1: Mount the Arm Assembly on the Wall.
Using a stud finder, locate the center of a wood stud. Mark the drilling locations for the wall plate. For concrete or brick walls, use a masonry drill bit and anchors (included) as per instructions. Secure the wall plate firmly to the wall using the provided lag bolts.
- Step 2: Connect the Faceplate to Your TV.
Attach the VESA plate (faceplate) to the back of your TV using the appropriate screws, washers, and spacers from the hardware kit. Ensure the plate is centered and securely fastened to your TV's VESA mounting holes.
- Step 3: Hang the TV on the Arm Assembly.
Carefully lift your TV with the attached VESA plate and hook it onto the articulating arm assembly. Ensure the TV is properly seated and secured. Tighten any safety screws or locking mechanisms to prevent accidental dislodging.

Operating
Adjusting Your TV Mount
The Pipishell Full Motion TV Wall Mount offers various adjustments to achieve your desired viewing angle:
- Extension/Retraction: Gently pull the TV away from the wall to extend the arm up to 17 inches, or push it back towards the wall to retract it to a low-profile 2.36 inches.
- Swivel: Pivot the TV left or right up to +/- 90 degrees to direct the screen towards your viewing position.
- Tilt: Adjust the vertical angle of your TV from +5 degrees (upward) to -15 degrees (downward) to reduce glare or optimize viewing from different heights.
- Leveling: After installation, you can fine-tune the TV's horizontal level by rotating it +/- 4 degrees to ensure it is perfectly straight.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and safe operation of your TV wall mount.
- Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Periodic Checks: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Over time, vibrations or frequent adjustments may loosen fasteners.
- Lubrication: The articulating joints are designed for smooth movement. If you notice any stiffness, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the pivot points.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Pipishell TV Wall Mount, refer to the common problems and solutions below:
| Problem | Possible Cause / Solution |
|---|---|
| TV is not level after installation. | Use the +/- 4° leveling adjustment feature to correct the tilt. Ensure the wall plate is level during initial installation. |
| Mount feels loose or wobbly. | Check all wall mounting bolts and TV attachment screws. Tighten any loose fasteners. Ensure the mount is installed into a solid structural element (wood stud, concrete, or brick). |
| Difficulty moving the articulating arm. | The joints may be stiff. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the pivot points. Ensure no cables are snagged. |
| TV does not fit the mount. | Verify your TV's VESA pattern and weight against the mount's specifications. This mount supports VESA patterns from 75x75mm to 400x400mm and TVs up to 77 lbs. |
