2. Setup and Installation
Before beginning installation, ensure you have all components and tools listed in the user manual. It is recommended to have at least two people for safe installation, especially when mounting the TV.

2.2. Prepare the Wall
- Locate wall studs (for wood stud walls) using a stud finder. Mark the center of the studs. For concrete or brick walls, ensure the wall is solid and capable of supporting the TV's weight.
- Tape the provided mounting template to the wall at your desired TV height, ensuring it is level.
- Drill pilot holes through the marked points on the template. Use a 1/4 inch (6.5 mm) drill bit for wood studs and a 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) drill bit for concrete/masonry.

2.3. Attach Wall Plate
Secure the wall plate to the wall using the provided lag bolts and washers. For concrete/masonry walls, insert the concrete anchors into the pilot holes before securing the lag bolts.
2.4. Attach TV Brackets
Attach the vertical TV brackets to the back of your television using the appropriate screws and spacers from the included hardware. Ensure the brackets are securely fastened and evenly spaced.

4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your TV wall mount.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the mount. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
- Periodic Inspection: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight and secure. Over time, vibrations or movement may cause them to loosen.
- Weight Limit: Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 150 lbs (68 KG).
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues during or after installation, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| TV is not level. | Wall plate not level; TV brackets not adjusted. | Ensure the wall plate is perfectly level during installation. Use the fine-tuning screws on the TV brackets to make minor adjustments. |
| Mount feels unstable. | Screws/bolts are loose; incorrect wall type used; insufficient stud support. | Tighten all mounting screws and bolts. Verify that the mount is installed into solid wood studs or appropriate masonry. Do not install on drywall alone. |
| TV does not tilt smoothly. | Tightened too much; mechanism needs lubrication. | Check if any screws on the tilt mechanism are overtightened. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant if necessary. |
If the issue persists, contact customer support.
