Setup and Installation
Before you begin, ensure you have all necessary tools and that your wall type is suitable for this mount. This mount is designed for single wood stud, solid concrete, or brick walls. It is not for drywall-only installation.
Step 1: Verify TV Compatibility
Check your TV's weight, size, and VESA pattern. The mount supports TVs from 26 to 55 inches, up to 70 lbs, and VESA patterns from 100x100mm to 400x400mm.
Step 2: Attach TV Brackets to TV
Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches. Attach the two vertical TV brackets to the back of your TV using the appropriate screws, washers, and spacers from the provided hardware kit. Ensure the brackets are centered and securely fastened.

Step 3: Install Wall Plate to Wall
Determine the desired height for your TV. Use a stud finder to locate the center of a wood stud if mounting to wood. Mark the drilling locations. For concrete or brick walls, use a masonry drill bit and anchors (not included for concrete/brick, but standard hardware is provided for wood stud). Ensure the wall plate is level using the included bubble level.

Operating Instructions
Once your TV is securely mounted, you can adjust its position for optimal viewing.
This image illustrates the various adjustments possible with the mount: tilting down 15 degrees, extending up to 19.17 inches, swiveling 180 degrees, and leveling +/-3 degrees.
Tilt Adjustment:
To adjust the tilt angle (+5°/-15°), loosen the tilt knobs on the TV brackets, adjust the TV to the desired angle, and then tighten the knobs to secure the position.
Swivel Adjustment:
The articulating arm allows for a +/-90° swivel. Gently push or pull the TV to the desired viewing angle. The mount is designed to perfectly center your TV when pushed back to the wall.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your TV wall mount.
- Periodically Check Connections: Every few months, check that all screws and bolts are securely tightened. Over time, vibrations or adjustments can cause fasteners to loosen.
- Clean the Mount: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
- Inspect for Wear: Look for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion on the mount components. If any issues are found, contact customer support immediately.
- Lubrication: The articulating joints are designed for smooth movement. If movement becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the pivot points.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any 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 or TV brackets are not perfectly level. | Use the +/-3° level adjustment feature to fine-tune the TV's horizontal position. If significant, re-check wall plate installation with a level. |
| Mount feels loose or wobbly. | Screws are not fully tightened; wall anchors are not secure; wall material is insufficient. | Ensure all wall and TV attachment screws are tightened. Verify wall type and stud location. If unsure, consult a professional. |
| TV does not fit the mount. | Incorrect VESA pattern or TV weight/size exceeds capacity. | Verify your TV's VESA pattern, weight, and size against the mount's specifications (100x100mm to 400x400mm, up to 70 lbs, 26-55 inches). |
| Mounting screws for TV are incorrect size. | TV requires a specific screw size not included in the standard kit. | The kit includes M4, M6, and M8 screws. If your TV requires a different size (e.g., M5), you may need to purchase it separately. |
