Setup and Installation

Follow these steps carefully to install your BONTEC TV Wall Mount Bracket. It is highly recommended to have two people for this process.

Step 1: Attach TV Brackets to TV

1. Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
2. Identify the VESA mounting holes on the back of your TV.
3. Select the appropriate screws and washers from the provided hardware kit that fit your TV's mounting holes.
4. Attach the two vertical TV mounting brackets to the back of your TV. Ensure the hooks on the brackets are facing inward, towards the center of the TV.
5. Tighten the screws securely, but do not overtighten.

Step 2: Mark and Drill Holes on Wall

1. Determine the desired height for your TV.
2. Place the wall plate against the wall at the desired height and use the included spirit level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal.
3. Mark the drilling points through the holes on the wall plate using a pencil.
4. For Wood Studs: Use a stud finder to locate the center of the wood studs. Drill pilot holes (recommended size: 7/32" or 5.5mm) at the marked locations.
5. For Concrete/Brick Walls: Drill pilot holes (recommended size: 3/8" or 10mm) at the marked locations. Insert the plastic wall anchors into the drilled holes. Tap gently with a hammer if needed until flush with the wall surface.

Step 3: Mount Wall Plate to Wall

1. Align the wall plate with the drilled holes.
2. Secure the wall plate to the wall using the lag bolts and washers. For concrete/brick walls, ensure the lag bolts go into the previously inserted wall anchors.
3. Tighten all bolts firmly to ensure the wall plate is securely fastened to the wall.

Step 4: Hang TV on Wall Plate

1. With assistance, carefully lift the TV with the attached brackets.
2. Align the hooks on the TV brackets with the top edge of the wall plate.
3. Gently lower the TV, ensuring the brackets engage securely with the wall plate.
4. Once the TV is hanging, locate the safety lock bolts at the bottom of the TV brackets. Tighten these bolts to secure the TV to the wall plate and prevent accidental dislodging.
