4.2 Mounting Steps (3-in-1 Easy Installation)
The installation process is simplified into three main steps:
Image: A visual guide to the three-step installation process: attaching brackets to the TV, installing the wall plate, and hanging the TV onto the wall plate.
- Attach Brackets to TV: Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface. Align the TV bracket arms with the VESA mounting holes on the back of your TV. Select the correct screws, washers, and spacers from the hardware kit that fit your TV. Secure the brackets to the TV, ensuring they are firmly attached but do not overtighten.
- Install Wall Plate:
- For Wood Stud Walls: Use a stud finder to locate the center of a single wood stud at your desired mounting height. Mark the drill holes. Drill pilot holes (refer to manual for specific drill bit size). Secure the wall plate to the stud using the provided lag bolts and washers. Use a level to ensure the wall plate is perfectly horizontal before tightening all bolts.
- For Concrete/Brick Walls: Mark the drill holes at your desired mounting height. Drill pilot holes (refer to manual for specific drill bit size). Insert the concrete anchors into the drilled holes. Secure the wall plate to the wall using the provided lag bolts and washers, ensuring the anchors are fully engaged. Use a level to ensure the wall plate is perfectly horizontal before tightening all bolts.
- Hang 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 wall plate. Some models may have safety screws or locking mechanisms to prevent accidental dislodging; engage these as per the specific instructions for your mount.
5. Operating Your TV Mount
Your Pipishell full motion mount allows for various adjustments to achieve the best viewing experience.
5.1 Adjusting Viewing Angles
- Tilt Adjustment: The mount allows for tilting the TV 5° upward and 15° downward. Loosen the tilt adjustment knobs/bolts on the TV brackets, adjust to the desired angle to reduce glare, and then re-tighten securely.
- Swivel Adjustment: The articulating arm allows you to swivel the TV left or right up to 90° (maximum angle depends on TV size and distance from wall). Gently push or pull the TV to the desired swivel position.
- Extension and Retraction: Extend the TV away from the wall for greater flexibility or retract it back to a minimum distance of 2.2 inches to save space. Gently pull or push the TV to extend or retract the arm.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your TV mount.
- Cleaning: Dust the mount regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and mild detergent, then wipe dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Check Connections: Periodically (e.g., every 6 months) check all screws and bolts to ensure they are still tight and secure. Do not overtighten.
- Inspect for Damage: Visually inspect the mount for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. If any damage is found, do not use the mount and contact customer support.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues during or after installation, refer to the following common problems and solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| TV is not level after installation. | Wall plate not level; TV brackets not adjusted correctly. | Ensure the wall plate is perfectly level during installation. Some mounts have a post-installation leveling adjustment feature on the TV brackets; consult your specific model's instructions. |
| Mount feels loose or wobbly. | Mounting bolts not fully tightened; incorrect wall anchors used; wall not strong enough. | Re-check and tighten all mounting bolts. Ensure correct anchors were used for your wall type. If the wall is insufficient, consult a professional. |
| TV does not fit the mount. | Incorrect VESA pattern; TV too heavy or too large. | Verify your TV's VESA pattern, weight, and size against the mount's specifications. Ensure you have the correct Pipishell model (PISF1 or PIMF2) for your TV. |
| Difficulty adjusting tilt/swivel. | Adjustment bolts are too tight. | Slightly loosen the adjustment bolts/knobs, make the adjustment, then re-tighten to secure the position. Do not loosen excessively. |
