4.2 Step-by-Step Installation

  1. Attach TV Brackets: Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface. Attach the two vertical TV brackets to the back of your TV using the appropriate screws, washers, and spacers from the hardware kit. Ensure the brackets are centered and securely fastened.
  2. Mark Wall Plate Position: Determine the desired height for your TV. Use the wall plate as a template to mark the drilling holes on your wall. For wood stud installation, ensure the wall plate is centered on a single stud. For concrete/brick, mark holes directly.
  3. Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. For wood studs, use a 7/32" (5.5mm) drill bit. For concrete/brick, use a 3/8" (10mm) drill bit and insert concrete anchors flush with the wall surface.
  4. Mount Wall Plate: Attach the wall plate to the wall using the lag bolts and washers. Tighten the bolts firmly but do not overtighten. Use the included bubble level to ensure the wall plate is perfectly horizontal.
  5. Hang TV: With assistance, carefully lift the TV with the attached brackets and hook them onto the wall plate. Ensure the TV is securely seated on the mount.
  6. Secure TV to Mount: Tighten the security screws located on the bottom of the TV brackets to lock the TV in place, preventing accidental dislodgement.

5. Operating Instructions

Your PERLESMITH Full Motion TV Wall Mount offers versatile adjustments to achieve the perfect viewing angle from anywhere in the room.

  • Tilt Adjustment: The mount allows a tilt range of +5° to -15°. Loosen the tilt knobs on the TV brackets, adjust the TV to your desired angle, and then tighten the knobs to secure it. This helps reduce glare from lights or windows.
  • Swivel Adjustment: The articulating arm allows for a swivel of up to +/-90° (maximum swivel angle depends on TV size). Gently push or pull the TV to the left or right to achieve your preferred viewing direction.
  • Extension: The mount can extend up to 18.89 inches (PSMFK12) or 18.3 inches (PSMFK1) from the wall, allowing you to pull the TV out for better viewing or access to cables.
  • Level Adjustment: After installation, you can fine-tune the TV's level by +/-3° to ensure it is perfectly horizontal.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your TV wall mount.

  • Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they are secure. Retighten if necessary, but do not overtighten.
  • Clean the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • If the mount becomes stiff or difficult to move, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the articulating joints.

7. Troubleshooting

  • TV is not level: Use the +/-3° level adjustment feature. If the wall plate itself is not level, you may need to slightly loosen the lag bolts, adjust, and retighten.
  • Difficulty moving the mount: Ensure all adjustment knobs are loosened before attempting to move the TV. If still stiff, apply lubricant as per maintenance instructions.
  • Mount feels unstable: Immediately remove the TV from the mount. Recheck all connections and ensure the wall plate is securely fastened to a suitable wall structure. Verify that the TV's weight and VESA pattern are within the mount's specifications.
