Setup and Installation
The SANUS VLT7-B2 mount is designed for easy installation, typically completed in 20 minutes or less following these three steps. For detailed visual guidance, please refer to the official installation video.
Step 1: Attach Brackets to TV
Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches. Attach the provided TV brackets to the back of your TV using a Phillips head screwdriver. Ensure the bolts are tightened securely but do not overtighten.

Step 2: Secure Wall Plate to Wall
First, use a stud finder to locate your wall studs. Once located, use the included worry-free drilling template to mark the precise drill holes on your wall. Ensure the template is level before marking. Drill the pilot holes according to the template. Then, hold the mount wall plate against the wall, aligning it with the drilled holes. Secure the wall plate using the provided lag bolts and washers. Tighten them with a 1/2 inch socket wrench.

Step 3: Hang Your TV
With assistance, carefully lift your TV. Extend the mount's arm assembly slightly. Hang the TV by aligning the top of the TV brackets with the top rail of the wall plate. Once the top is secure, push the bottom of the TV brackets onto the bottom rail of the wall plate. You will hear an audible click when the TV is securely in position. Finally, secure the TV using the locking tab at the bottom of the TV brackets and close the top wall plate cover.

Operating and Adjustments
The SANUS VLT7-B2 mount offers flexible adjustments for optimal viewing:
- Tilt Adjustment: To adjust the tilt, simply push or pull the TV to your desired angle. The FluidMotion mechanism allows for smooth movement. You can tilt the TV up to 12 degrees down and 7 degrees up. To adjust the tension of the tilt, loosen the tilt knob located on the mount.
- Swivel Adjustment: Gently push or pull the side of the TV to swivel it left or right, up to 15 degrees in either direction. This provides flexibility for viewing from different areas of the room.
- Level Adjustment: If your TV is not perfectly level after installation, use a Phillips head screwdriver to turn the level adjustment screws located on top of either TV bracket. This allows you to raise or lower that side of the TV for precise leveling.
- Cable Management: To manage cables, extend the TV outward from the wall and tilt it up or down to gain better access to the back of the TV. This allows for clean routing of all necessary cords.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your SANUS TV wall mount, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Dust the mount regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Periodic Checks: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight and secure. Over time, vibrations or adjustments can cause them to loosen.
- Movement Check: Occasionally operate the tilt and swivel functions to ensure smooth movement. If any stiffness is noted, ensure no cables are obstructing the mechanism.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your SANUS VLT7-B2 mount, consider the following common solutions:
- TV Not Level: Use the level adjustment screws on the TV brackets to fine-tune the horizontal alignment. Refer to the "Operating and Adjustments" section for details.
- Difficulty Tilting/Swiveling:
- Check for any cables or obstructions behind the TV that might be impeding movement.
- Ensure the tilt knob (if applicable) is not overtightened. Loosen it slightly to allow for smoother motion.
- Mount Feels Loose: Re-check all lag bolts securing the wall plate to the wall and the screws attaching the TV brackets to the TV. Tighten any loose fasteners. If the issue persists, consult a professional installer.
