5.1. Attach Brackets to TV
Lay your TV face down on a soft, clean surface. Select the appropriate screws, washers, and spacers from the provided hardware kit that fit your TV's VESA mounting holes. Attach the two TV brackets to the back of your TV, ensuring they are centered and securely fastened. Open the safety locks on the brackets.

5.2. Find and Mark Studs
Use a stud finder to locate the center of a wood stud in your desired mounting location. Mark the stud's center with a pencil. For corner installations, ensure the stud is within the recommended 9.5"-25" distance from the corner.
5.3. Use Drilling Template
Position the provided drilling template on the wall, aligning it with your marked stud center and desired TV height. Use tape to secure the template. Ensure the template is level before marking the drill points.

5.4. Drill Holes
Using the appropriate drill bit (7/32" for wood, 3/8" for concrete), drill pilot holes at the marked locations on the template. Drill to the specified depth as indicated in the full instruction manual.
5.5. Secure Wall Plate
Align the wall plate with the drilled holes. Insert the lag bolts and tighten them using a socket wrench. Ensure the wall plate is perfectly level before fully tightening the bottom bolt.
5.6. Assemble Extensions (if needed for larger TVs or corner mounting)
For larger TVs or specific corner placements, attach the extension arms to the main wall plate assembly. Secure them with the provided screws and tighten them firmly.

5.7. Attach End Caps
Once the extensions are assembled, attach the decorative end caps to the ends of the mount arms for a finished appearance.
5.8. Hang TV
With assistance, carefully lift the TV and hook the attached TV brackets onto the wall plate. Ensure the TV is securely seated on the mount.
5.9. Close Safety Locks
Once the TV is hung, close the safety locks on the TV brackets to prevent accidental dislodgement.
5.10. Level After Install
The mount allows for post-installation leveling. Use a level to ensure your TV is perfectly horizontal. Adjust as needed.
