Setup and Installation

Step 1: Determine Mounting Location and Wall Type

1. Use a stud finder to locate the center of a wood stud if installing on wood. Mark the stud edges.
2. For concrete or brick walls, ensure the wall is solid and free of obstructions.
3. Hold the wall plate against the wall at your desired height and use a pencil to mark the pilot hole locations. Use the included bubble level to ensure it is level.

Step 2: Drill Pilot Holes

• For wood studs: Drill pilot holes using a 7/32 inch (5.5mm) drill bit to a depth of 2.2 inches (55mm).
• For concrete/brick walls: Drill pilot holes using a 3/8 inch (10mm) masonry drill bit to a depth of 2.4 inches (60mm). Insert concrete anchors into the holes, ensuring they are flush with the wall surface.

Step 3: Attach Wall Plate to Wall

• Align the wall plate with the drilled holes.
• Secure the wall plate to the wall using the provided lag bolts and washers. Tighten firmly with a socket wrench.

Step 4: Attach TV Brackets to TV

1. Lay your TV face down on a soft, clean surface.
2. Identify the correct diameter and length of screws for your TV's VESA mounting holes. Use the provided spacers if the TV back is uneven or if screws are too long.
3. Attach the two TV brackets to the back of your TV using the chosen screws and washers. Ensure the brackets are centered and level.

Step 5: Mount TV to Wall Plate

• With an assistant, carefully lift the TV and hook the TV brackets onto the wall plate.
• Ensure the TV is securely seated on the wall plate.
• Engage the safety locks on the bottom of the TV brackets to prevent accidental dislodging.

Operating and Adjustments

Your Pipishell Full Motion TV Wall Mount allows for various adjustments to optimize your viewing experience.

Tilt Adjustment:

The mount allows for a tilt range of -15° to +5° (PIMFK3) or -15° to +5° (PILFK4). Loosen the tilt adjustment knobs on the TV brackets, adjust the TV to the desired angle, and then re-tighten the knobs to secure the position.

Swivel Adjustment:

The articulating arm allows the TV to swivel up to 90° left or right (PIMFK3) or 120° (PILFK4), depending on TV size and wall distance. Gently push or pull the TV to the desired viewing angle.

Level Adjustment:

After installation, you can adjust the TV's level by ±3°. Loosen the leveling screws on the TV brackets, adjust the TV to be perfectly level, and then re-tighten the screws.

Extension and Retraction:

The mount can extend the TV away from the wall up to 19.5 inches (PIMFK3) or 16 inches (PILFK4) and retract it to a minimum distance of 3.2 inches (PIMFK3) or 3.1 inches (PILFK4) from the wall. Gently pull or push the TV to adjust the distance.

Maintenance

• Periodically check that all screws and connections are secure. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Clean the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Ensure cables are properly managed and not pinched by moving parts of the mount. Use the provided cable ties to keep cables tidy.

Troubleshooting

TV is not level after installation:

Loosen the level adjustment screws on the TV brackets, adjust the TV to the desired level using a bubble level, and then re-tighten the screws.

Mount feels loose on the wall:

Immediately remove the TV from the mount. Check that all lag bolts securing the wall plate to the wall are fully tightened. If the wall material is damaged, consult a professional for repair before re-mounting.

Difficulty adjusting tilt or swivel:

Ensure that the tilt adjustment knobs are sufficiently loosened before attempting to adjust the tilt. For swivel, ensure no cables are snagged or preventing movement. Do not force adjustments.
