4.2 Mounting the Wall Plate

1. Locate the desired mounting position on your wall. Use a stud finder to locate wood studs if applicable.
2. Mark the drill holes for the wall plate. Use the included bubble level to ensure the plate is perfectly horizontal.
3. Drill pilot holes according to your wall type. For wood studs, drill directly. For concrete or brick, insert the provided concrete anchors.
4. Secure the wall plate to the wall using the self-tapping screws and washers. Ensure it is firmly attached.

4.3 Attaching TV Brackets

1. Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
2. Attach the two TV brackets to the back of your TV using the appropriate screws and spacers from the hardware kit. Ensure the brackets are centered and securely fastened to the VESA mounting holes.

4.4 Mounting TV to Wall Plate

1. With assistance, carefully lift the TV with the attached brackets.
2. Hook the TV brackets onto the wall plate. Ensure the TV is securely seated on the mount.
3. Engage any safety locking mechanisms on the brackets to prevent accidental dislodgement.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and safe operation of your BONTEC TV Wall Mount, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the mount. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
• Periodic Checks: Regularly inspect all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Over time, vibrations or frequent adjustments may cause them to loosen.
• Lubrication: If the articulating arms become stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the pivot points. Do not use oil-based lubricants.
• Weight Limit: Never exceed the maximum weight capacity of 132 lbs (60 kg).

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your BONTEC TV Wall Mount, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• TV is not level:
  Check the +/-3° level adjustment feature. Loosen the leveling screws slightly, adjust the TV to be level using the built-in bubble level or a separate one, and then re-tighten the screws. Ensure the wall plate itself was installed level.
• Difficulty extending or retracting the arm:
  Ensure no cables are snagged or obstructing the movement. Check for any debris in the joints. If the movement is stiff, apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the articulating joints.
• TV feels unstable or wobbly:
  Immediately remove the TV from the mount. Re-check all wall mounting screws and TV bracket screws to ensure they are securely tightened. Verify that the wall type is appropriate and that the anchors (if used) are properly installed. Ensure the TV's weight does not exceed the 132 lbs (60 kg) limit.
• Missing parts:
  Refer to the 'Package Contents' section. If any parts are missing, do not proceed with installation. Contact BONTEC customer support for assistance.
