4. Setup and Installation
Before you begin, ensure you have the necessary tools: pencil, drill, stud finder (for wood studs), measuring tape, and a Phillips head screwdriver. It is highly recommended to have two people for installation.
4.1. Determine Mounting Location
- Choose a location on the wall that can support the weight of the TV and mount.
- For wood stud walls, locate the center of the studs using a stud finder.
- For concrete or brick walls, ensure there are no hidden pipes or electrical wires.
- Mark the desired height for the top of your TV.
4.2. Attach Wall Plate to Wall
- Position the wall plate assembly against the wall at the desired height. Use the integrated level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal.
- Mark the drill holes through the wall plate onto the wall with a pencil.
- Drill pilot holes:
- For wood studs: Use a 5.5mm (7/32") drill bit.
- For concrete/brick: Use a 10mm (3/8") masonry drill bit and insert wall anchors.
- Secure the wall plate to the wall using the provided lag bolts and washers. Tighten firmly but do not overtighten.
4.3. Attach TV Brackets to TV
- Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface.
- Identify the VESA mounting holes on the back of your TV. This mount supports VESA patterns up to 400x400 mm.
- Select the appropriate screws (M4, M6, or M8) and washers from the hardware kit that fit your TV's mounting holes.
- Attach the TV brackets to the back of your TV, ensuring they are centered and securely fastened. Do not overtighten.
4.4. Mount TV to Wall Plate
- With assistance, carefully lift the TV and hook the TV brackets onto the wall plate assembly.
- Ensure the TV is securely seated on the wall plate.
- Engage any safety locking mechanisms (if present) to prevent accidental dislodgement.
5. Operating Instructions
The Lumi LPA36-463A mount offers full-motion capabilities for optimal viewing flexibility.
5.1. Adjusting Extension and Retraction
- Gently pull the TV away from the wall to extend the arm. The mount can extend up to 475 mm.
- Push the TV back towards the wall to retract the arm. The mount can retract to a minimum distance of 95 mm from the wall.
- Always move the TV smoothly and avoid sudden jerks.
5.2. Adjusting Tilt
- The mount allows for vertical tilt adjustment. Loosen the tilt adjustment knobs (if present, refer to diagram in physical manual) on the TV brackets.
- Adjust the TV to the desired upward or downward angle.
- Tighten the tilt adjustment knobs to secure the TV in position.
5.3. Adjusting Swivel (Rotation)
- The articulated arm allows for horizontal swivel of the TV up to 90 degrees left and right.
- Gently push or pull the side of the TV to rotate it to your preferred viewing angle.
- No locking mechanism is typically required for swivel; the friction of the joints holds the position.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your TV wall mount.
- Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Periodic Inspection: Every 3-6 months, check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight and secure. Retighten if necessary.
- Joint Lubrication: If the arm movement becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the pivot points. Avoid oil-based lubricants.
- Damage Check: Inspect the mount for any signs of damage, wear, or corrosion. If any damage is found, discontinue use and contact customer support.
