Before beginning installation, ensure you have all components and tools as listed in the included installation guide. It is highly recommended to have a second person assist with lifting and positioning the TV.

3.1 Safety Precautions

• Read all instructions carefully before installation.
• Ensure the wall structure can support the combined weight of the mount and your TV.
• Locate wood studs accurately using a stud finder.
• Do not overtighten screws.
• Keep children and pets away from the installation area.

3.2 Installation Steps (General)

1. Prepare the Wall: Identify and mark the location of wood studs where the mount will be secured. Ensure the chosen height provides optimal viewing.
2. Attach Wall Plate: Secure the wall plate to the marked studs using the provided lag bolts. Use a level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal.
3. Attach TV Brackets: Fasten the TV brackets to the back of your television using the appropriate screws and spacers from the included hardware kit. Ensure a secure fit.
4. Mount TV to Wall Plate: Carefully lift the TV with the attached brackets and hook them onto the wall plate. Secure the TV to the mount using the locking mechanisms.
5. Cable Management: Route all necessary cables through the built-in cable management channels on the articulating arms for a neat and organized appearance.
6. Adjust Height: Utilize the 4-inch post-install height adjustment feature to fine-tune the TV's vertical position if needed.

4. Operating the TV Wall Mount

The Rocketfish Full-Motion TV Wall Mount offers versatile adjustments to achieve your desired viewing experience.

4.1 Swivel Adjustment

Gently grasp the sides of your TV and pivot it left or right to achieve the desired horizontal viewing angle. The dual articulating arms allow for a wide range of motion, up to 90 degrees swivel.

4.2 Tilt Adjustment

To adjust the vertical tilt, gently push the top or bottom of the TV forward or backward. The mount allows for a tilt range of +5 to -15 degrees. Some models may feature a tilt tension knob (refer to Image 2.3) to secure the TV in position after adjustment, providing extra security.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your TV wall mount.

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the mount. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight and secure. Over time, vibrations or adjustments may cause them to loosen.
• Lubrication: If the articulating arms or swivel points become stiff, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts. Do not use oil-based lubricants.
• Weight Limit: Never exceed the maximum weight capacity of 55 lbs.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Rocketfish TV Wall Mount, refer to the following common solutions:

• TV is not level: Check the wall plate installation. Ensure it was mounted perfectly level. Some mounts offer post-installation leveling adjustments; consult your specific model's detailed manual.
• Difficulty swiveling/tilting: Ensure no cables are snagged or obstructing movement. If the joints feel stiff, apply a small amount of silicone lubricant as described in the Maintenance section.
• Mount feels loose: Immediately check all mounting bolts and screws. Tighten any that are loose. If the issue persists, re-evaluate the installation to ensure it is properly secured to wall studs.
• Missing hardware: If any hardware was missing upon unboxing, contact Rocketfish customer support immediately for replacement parts.
