4.2 Mounting Steps
- Marking: Use a pencil to mark the desired mounting height and position for the wall plate. Ensure it is level.
- Drilling: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. The drill bit size will depend on your wall type and the anchors used. Refer to the detailed instructions in the included manual for specific drill bit sizes.
- Attach Wall Plate: Secure the wall plate to the wall using the appropriate screws and anchors. Ensure it is firmly attached and level.
- Attach TV Plate: Fasten the TV mounting plate to the back of your television using the provided VESA screws that match your TV's thread size.
- Mount TV: Carefully lift the television with the attached plate and hook it onto the wall plate. Secure it in place according to the manual's instructions, often involving tightening safety screws.
5. Operation
The GRIFEMA GB1008-1 TV wall mount offers flexible viewing options through its full-motion capabilities.
5.1 Adjusting Viewing Angle
- Tilt: The TV can be tilted +8 degrees upwards or -12 degrees downwards to reduce glare and optimize viewing from different heights. Loosen the tilt adjustment knobs, set the desired angle, and re-tighten.
- Swivel: The mount allows for a +/- 90-degree swivel, enabling you to angle the TV left or right to suit your seating position. Gently push or pull the TV to the desired angle.
- Rotation: A 360-degree rotation feature allows for fine-tuning the horizontal level of the screen after installation.

The articulated arm allows the TV to be extended up to 360mm from the wall or retracted to a compact 58mm, saving space when not in use.
- To extend, gently pull the TV away from the wall.
- To retract, gently push the TV back towards the wall until it reaches the desired position.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your TV wall mount.
- Periodic Checks: Every few months, check that all screws and connections are tight and secure. Loose connections can lead to instability.
- Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
- Lubrication: If the arm movement becomes stiff over time, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the pivot points.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your GRIFEMA GB1008-1 TV wall mount, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- TV feels unstable or wobbly:
Solution: Ensure all wall plate screws and TV plate screws are securely tightened. Verify that the wall type is appropriate for the mount and that anchors are correctly installed. Re-check the TV's weight against the mount's capacity. - Difficulty adjusting tilt or swivel:
Solution: Check if any adjustment knobs or bolts are overtightened. Loosen them slightly to allow movement, then re-tighten once the desired position is achieved. If movement is stiff, apply a small amount of lubricant to the joints. - TV is not level:
Solution: Use the 360-degree rotation feature to adjust the horizontal level of the screen. Ensure the wall plate was installed level during the initial setup.
