5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and proper function of your Pipishell TV wall mount, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

- Weight Limits: Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 132 lbs.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your TV wall mount, please refer to the following common solutions:
- TV not level: Ensure the wall plate is level during installation. Most mounts allow for minor post-installation leveling adjustments. Consult the detailed installation guide for specific adjustment mechanisms.
- Mount feels loose: Re-check all wall and TV attachment screws. Ensure they are tightened according to the installation instructions. If mounted on wood studs, confirm screws are fully engaged in the center of the studs. If on concrete/brick, verify anchors are correctly installed.
- Difficulty tilting: Check for any obstructions behind the TV. Ensure all tilt adjustment knobs or bolts are loosened before attempting to adjust and tightened afterward.
- Missing parts: If any parts are missing from your package, please contact Pipishell customer support immediately.
