Installation Steps:
- Attach Wall Plate to Wall:
Carefully determine the desired mounting location. Use the included bubble level to ensure the wall plate is perfectly horizontal. Mark the drilling points, drill pilot holes, and securely fasten the wall plate to the wall using the appropriate hardware for your wall type (wood studs, concrete, or brick).

- Attach Brackets to TV:
Align the two TV brackets with the VESA mounting holes on the back of your television. Use the appropriate screws and washers from the hardware kit to securely attach the brackets to the TV. Ensure the brackets are oriented correctly and tightened firmly.
- Attach TV to Wall Plate:
With assistance, carefully lift the television and hook the attached TV brackets onto the wall plate. Ensure both brackets are properly seated on the wall plate. Once the TV is hanging, use the safety screws or locking mechanisms on the brackets to secure the TV to the wall plate, preventing accidental dislodgement. This step also involves adjusting the tilt mechanism.

6. Operating the Tilt Feature
The Stellar Mounts Ultra Slim Tilt TV Wall Mount allows for easy adjustment of your TV's vertical viewing angle.
- Adjusting Tilt: The mount provides a tilt range of 0° to 12° downwards. To adjust the tilt, loosen the tilt locking knobs or screws located on the TV brackets (refer to Figure 4). Carefully tilt the TV to your desired angle.
- Securing Tilt: Once the desired tilt angle is achieved, firmly tighten the tilt locking knobs or screws to secure the TV in position.
- Horizontal Adjustment: The sliding bracket design allows for minor horizontal adjustments of the TV along the wall plate even after installation, helping you center your screen perfectly.

7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and safety of your TV wall mount.
- Cleaning: Dust the mount periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
- Inspection: Annually, or if you notice any changes, inspect all mounting screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Check for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage.
- Weight Limit: Never exceed the maximum weight capacity of the mount.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues during or after installation, refer to the following common solutions:
- TV is not level: Ensure the wall plate was installed level using the bubble level. If the wall plate is level, check if the TV brackets are securely and evenly attached to the TV. Minor adjustments can sometimes be made by slightly loosening and re-tightening the TV bracket screws.
- Difficulty tilting the TV: Ensure the tilt locking knobs or screws are sufficiently loosened before attempting to adjust the angle. If the TV is too heavy or the mechanism feels stiff, apply gentle, even pressure.
- Mount feels loose: Immediately remove the TV from the mount. Re-inspect all wall mounting screws and TV bracket screws to ensure they are fully tightened. Verify that the wall structure is sound and capable of supporting the weight. If issues persist, consult a professional installer.
- Missing parts: Refer to the 'Package Contents' section. If any parts are missing, contact Stellar Mounts customer support for assistance.
