5. Setup (Installation Guide)
5.1 Pre-Installation Checklist
- Ensure you have all necessary tools: drill, stud finder (for wood studs), level, tape measure, pencil, screwdriver, socket wrench.
- Confirm your TV's weight and VESA pattern are within the mount's specifications.
- Identify the type of wall you are mounting to (wood stud, concrete, or brick).
- Locate the center of your desired mounting position and mark it.
5.2 Installation Steps
- Attach TV Brackets to TV: 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 to the TV's VESA holes.
- Mount Wall Plate: Position the wall plate assembly on the wall at your desired height. Use a level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal. Mark the drilling locations through the holes on the wall plate. For wood studs, drill pilot holes into the center of the studs. For concrete/brick walls, drill holes and insert concrete anchors. Secure the wall plate to the wall using the provided lag bolts.
- Adjust Level (if needed): Before hanging the TV, ensure the wall plate is level. If minor adjustments are needed, some mounts allow for slight leveling adjustments on the wall plate itself.
- Hang TV on Wall Plate: With assistance, carefully lift the TV with the attached brackets and hook them onto the arms of the wall plate assembly. Ensure the TV is securely seated.
- Secure TV to Mount: Tighten the security screws on the TV brackets to lock the TV onto the mount, preventing accidental dislodgement.

6. Operating (Adjustments)
Your FORGING MOUNT TV wall mount offers full motion capabilities for optimal viewing. Adjustments should be made carefully to avoid damage to the TV or mount.
- Swivel: The mount allows for ±90° swivel. Gently push or pull the TV to the desired left or right angle. This is particularly useful for corner installations or viewing from different areas of a room.
- Tilt: Adjust the vertical tilt from +5° (upward) to -10° (downward) to reduce glare or achieve a better viewing angle. Loosen the tilt adjustment screws on the TV plate, adjust the angle, and then re-tighten the screws securely.
- Level: If your TV appears slightly unlevel after installation, you can adjust the level by ±3°. Loosen the leveling screws, rotate the TV slightly, and then re-tighten.
- Extension/Retraction: The articulating arms allow the TV to extend up to 25.6 inches from the wall and retract to a minimum of 2.48 inches. Gently pull or push the TV to extend or retract the arms.

7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your TV mount.
- Cleaning: Dust the mount regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and mild detergent, then wipe dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Check Connections: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Inspect for Damage: Inspect the mount for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. If any damage is observed, discontinue use and contact customer service.
8. Troubleshooting
Refer to the table below for common issues and their solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| TV is not level. | Wall plate not perfectly level during installation, or leveling screws need adjustment. | Loosen the leveling screws on the TV plate, adjust the TV to be level using a spirit level, then re-tighten the screws. |
| Mount feels unstable. | Mounting bolts not fully tightened, incorrect wall anchors used, or wall type is unsuitable. | Ensure all wall bolts are securely tightened. Verify that the correct anchors were used for your wall type. If unsure, consult a professional. Do not use if unstable. |
| Difficulty adjusting tilt/swivel. | Adjustment screws are too tight, or joints need lubrication. | For tilt, loosen the tilt adjustment screws slightly, adjust, then re-tighten. For swivel, ensure no cables are snagged. Joints are pre-lubricated; if stiffness persists, contact support. |
| TV is too heavy for the mount. | TV weight exceeds the mount's maximum capacity. | Immediately remove the TV from the mount. This mount supports up to 77 lbs (35 kg). Do not use if your TV is heavier. |
