Important: A two-person installation is strongly recommended for safety and ease of handling due to the size and weight of the mount and television.
4.1 Prepare the Wall
Use a stud finder to locate the center of two adjacent wood studs. For concrete or brick walls, ensure the wall is solid and capable of supporting the weight. Use the provided drilling template to mark pilot holes. Drill holes according to the template and your wall type.

4.2 Mount the Wall Plate
Align the wall plate with the drilled holes. For wood stud installation, use the provided lag screws and washers. For concrete/brick walls, insert the concrete anchors into the pilot holes before securing the wall plate with lag screws and washers. Ensure the wall plate is level using the included bubble level.

With assistance, carefully lift the television and hook the VESA brackets onto the horizontal bars of the wall mount. Engage the safety latches on both VESA brackets to secure the TV in place. Tighten the security screws to prevent accidental dislodgement.

5.4 Screen Leveling
The mount allows for a +5° to -5° screen leveling adjustment to ensure your TV is perfectly horizontal after installation. Loosen the leveling bolts, adjust the screen, and then re-tighten.
5.5 Cable Management
Utilize the integrated cable management clips and cable ties to route and organize cables along the mount's arms. This helps maintain a clean appearance and protects cables during adjustments.
6. Maintenance
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure.
- Cleaning: Clean the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
- Lubrication: If movement becomes stiff over time, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the articulating joints.
7. Troubleshooting
7.1 TV is not level
- Check the screen leveling adjustment as described in Section 5.4.
- Ensure the wall plate was installed level. If not, minor adjustments can sometimes be made with the screen leveling feature.
7.2 Mount is difficult to move or adjust
- Ensure all bolts related to the specific adjustment (tilt, swivel) are slightly loosened before attempting to move, then re-tighten.
- Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the moving joints.
7.3 TV appears unstable
- Immediately remove the TV from the mount.
- Re-check all wall mounting bolts and TV bracket screws for tightness.
