4. Setup and Installation
4.1 Pre-Installation Checks
- Verify your ceiling structure can support the combined weight of the mount and your TV.
- Confirm your TV's VESA mounting pattern is within the supported range (200x100mm to 600x400mm).
- For 55", 65", or 70" TVs, ensure the VESA holes on your TV are centered for proper clearance between the screen and the ceiling when folded. If the VESA holes are positioned lower on the TV back, additional planks or spacers may be needed to adjust the distance and prevent the TV from hitting the ceiling.

4.2 Mounting the Unit
- Identify the desired mounting location on your ceiling. Ensure it is structurally sound and free from electrical wires or plumbing.
- Using the mounting plate as a template, mark the drilling points on the ceiling.
- Drill pilot holes according to the recommended drill bit size for your ceiling type (wood or concrete).
- With the assistance of a second person, lift the mount into position and secure it to the ceiling using the appropriate fasteners.
- Attach the TV brackets to the back of your television, aligning them with the VESA holes.
- Carefully lift the TV and hook the TV brackets onto the mount's arms. Secure the TV to the mount using the provided screws and safety mechanisms.
