Operating Your TV Mount
PSMTK1 Tilting Mount Operation
To adjust the tilt angle of your PSMTK1 mount, gently push the bottom of the TV forward to achieve the desired tilt (up to 7°). This helps reduce glare from lights or windows. No tools are typically required for tilt adjustment once installed.

PSMFK1 Full Motion Mount Operation
The PSMFK1 mount offers extensive flexibility for optimal viewing from various positions in a room.
- Swivel: Gently push or pull the TV to swivel it left or right up to +/-90°. The maximum swivel angle depends on your TV's size and its distance from the wall.
- Tilt: Adjust the vertical tilt angle from +5° to -15° to eliminate glare and find the most comfortable viewing position.
- Extension/Retraction: Pull the TV away from the wall to extend it up to 18.3 inches, or push it back towards the wall for a more compact profile.
- Level Adjustment: If your TV appears slightly unlevel after installation, you can make a fine adjustment of +/-3° to ensure perfect horizontal alignment.

Maintenance
Your PERLESMITH TV wall mount requires minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure its longevity and safe operation:
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check all mounting bolts and screws to ensure they remain tight. Over time, vibrations or adjustments can cause slight loosening.
- Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which could damage the finish.
- Lubrication (PSMFK1): For the articulating arms of the PSMFK1, if movement becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the pivot points. Do not use oil-based lubricants.
- Weight Limit: Never exceed the specified weight capacity of the mount.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your PERLESMITH TV wall mount, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| TV is not level | Wall plate not level during installation; minor shift. | For PSMFK1, use the +/-3° level adjustment feature. For PSMTK1, re-check wall plate level and adjust if necessary. |
| Mount feels loose on the wall | Wall bolts are not sufficiently tightened; incorrect wall anchors used. | Carefully re-tighten all wall mounting bolts. Ensure correct anchors were used for your wall type. If problem persists, consult a professional. |
| TV not securely attached to mount | Locking mechanisms not engaged; TV brackets not properly seated. | Ensure the anti-drop buckle (PSMTK1) or locking screws (PSMFK1) are fully engaged. Verify TV brackets are correctly hooked onto the wall plate/mount. |
| Full motion mount (PSMFK1) is stiff to move | Lack of lubrication; dust/debris in joints. | Clean joints and apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to pivot points. |
