5. Installation Guide
The Stellar Mounts TV wall mount is designed for easy installation. Follow these three main steps:
- Attach Wall Plate to Wall:
Locate the desired mounting position on your wall. Use a stud finder to identify wood studs for secure mounting. Mark the drilling points for the wall plate. Drill pilot holes and secure the wall plate to the wall using the appropriate lag bolts and washers provided in the hardware kit. Ensure the wall plate is level using the included bubble level.

- Attach Brackets to TV:
Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface. Identify the VESA mounting holes on the back of your TV. Select the correct size screws, washers, and spacers from the hardware kit that fit your TV's mounting holes. Attach the two vertical TV brackets to the back of your TV, ensuring they are securely fastened and evenly spaced.

- Attach TV to Wall Plate:
With assistance, carefully lift the TV with the attached brackets. Align the hooks on the TV brackets with the top edge of the wall plate. Gently lower the TV until the brackets engage with the wall plate. Once the TV is hanging securely, install the safety screws (or locking mechanisms) at the bottom of the TV brackets to prevent accidental disengagement and limit shifting.

6. Operation (Tilt Function)
This mount features a tilt adjustment from 0° to 12° to help reduce glare and achieve optimal viewing angles from various positions in your room, such as a couch, floor, or bed. To adjust the tilt, gently push or pull the bottom of the TV to the desired angle. The friction-based design will hold the TV in place. For precise adjustments, some models may have knobs or levers on the side of the TV brackets that can be loosened, adjusted, and then re-tightened.

7. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and safe operation of your TV wall mount, periodic maintenance is recommended:
- Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Over time, vibrations or movement can cause fasteners to loosen.
- Weight Check: Ensure the weight of your TV does not exceed the mount's maximum capacity, especially if you replace your TV.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your TV mount, consider the following common solutions:
- TV not level: Ensure the wall plate was installed level. If the TV itself is slightly off, some mounts allow for minor post-installation leveling adjustments on the TV brackets. Re-check the bubble level.
- TV feels loose: Verify that all screws attaching the TV brackets to the TV and the safety screws securing the TV to the wall plate are fully tightened.
- Difficulty tilting: Ensure no cables are obstructing the tilt mechanism. If the tilt is too stiff or too loose, check if your specific mount model has adjustable tension screws on the tilt mechanism.
- Missing parts: Refer to the 'Package Contents' section. If parts are missing, do not proceed with installation. Contact Stellar Mounts customer support.
