Installation Guide
Follow these steps carefully to install your TV wall mount. It is recommended to have a second person assist during certain steps for safety and ease of installation.
1. Identify Mounting Wall Type
Use a stud finder to locate the center of a wood stud. For concrete or brick walls, ensure the surface is solid. Place the mounting template (IT) at the desired height and mark the drilling locations. Drill pilot holes according to the instructions for your specific wall type.
2. Attaching Mounting Bracket to the Wall
Align the wall plate of the mount with the drilled holes. Secure it to the wall using the provided lag bolts (TS) for wood studs, or concrete anchors (U8) for concrete/brick. Ensure the mount is level using a spirit level.
3. Identify Mounting Pattern on TV
Measure the VESA pattern on the back of your TV. Attach the mounting plate (MP) to the TV using the appropriate screws (D) and the VESA adapters (AP) if needed, ensuring the arrows on the adapters point upwards.
4. Selecting Screw Bolt Size
Choose the correct M4, M6, or M8 screw bolts (B, D, M, N, J, K) that fit your TV's threaded holes. Use the provided washers (R, S) and spacers (Q) as necessary to ensure a snug fit without overtightening. For curved back TVs, use the appropriate screws and spacers as indicated in the manual.
5. Mounting TV Plate
Attach the TV plate to the back of your TV. Ensure the screws are tightened securely but do not overtighten to avoid damaging the TV.
6. Final Assembly and Adjustment
With assistance, mount the TV onto the wall bracket by hooking the TV plate onto the mounting bracket. Secure the TV by tightening the two bolts at the lower back of the mount assembly (EA). Adjust the tilt by loosening the angle bolts on the mounting base, setting the desired angle, and then retightening the bolts. Manage cables using the integrated cable management clips.
For precise installation, refer to the included mounting template:
Operating Your Mount
The full motion design of your Amazon Basics TV Wall Mount allows for flexible positioning to achieve the best viewing experience from anywhere in the room.
- Tilt: Adjust the vertical viewing angle from +15° to -5° to reduce glare or optimize for different seating positions. Loosen the tilt bolts, set the desired angle, and retighten.
- Swivel: Pivot the TV horizontally up to 180° (90° left/right) to direct the screen towards your viewing area.
- Extension: Pull the TV away from the wall from 2.3" up to 16.3" for closer viewing or to access cables.
Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and safe operation of your TV wall mount, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
- Periodic Checks: Regularly inspect all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight and secure. Over time, vibrations or adjustments can cause them to loosen.
- Movement: If the mount becomes stiff or difficult to move, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the pivot points.
- Weight Limit: Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 40 lbs (18.2 kg).
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your TV wall mount, refer to the following common problems and their solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Mount is not level | Improper installation or loose bolts. | Check the wall plate and TV plate for levelness. Loosen and re-tighten mounting bolts while ensuring the mount is level with a spirit level. |
| Difficulty moving the mount (swivel/extension) | Joints are too tight or require lubrication. | Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the moving joints. Do not use oil-based lubricants. |
| TV is tilting unexpectedly | Tilt adjustment bolts are loose. | Tighten the tilt adjustment bolts on the mounting base. |
| Mount feels unstable | Incorrect wall type or loose wall mounting hardware. | Ensure the mount is installed on a compatible wall type (wood stud, concrete, or brick). Re-check all lag bolts/anchors for tightness. If unsure, consult a professional installer. |
