Setup and Installation

Tools Required (Not Included): Pencil, Stud Finder, Drill, Drill Bits, Level (optional, as a bubble level is included), Phillips Head Screwdriver, Socket Wrench.

Step 1: Attach Wall Plate to Wall

1. Determine Location: Choose the desired height for your TV. Use a stud finder to locate the center of two adjacent wood studs. Mark these locations with a pencil. For concrete/brick walls, mark desired drill points.
2. Position Wall Plate: Hold the wall plate against the wall at the marked locations. Use the included bubble level to ensure the wall plate is perfectly horizontal. Mark the drill holes through the wall plate.
3. Drill Pilot Holes: For wood studs, drill pilot holes (typically 7/32" or 5.5mm) at the marked locations. For concrete/brick, drill holes (typically 3/8" or 10mm) and insert concrete anchors (if applicable, ensure they are suitable for your wall type and included in hardware).
4. Secure Wall Plate: Attach the wall plate to the wall using the lag bolts and washers provided in the hardware kit. Tighten securely, but do not overtighten.

Step 2: Attach Brackets to TV

1. Identify VESA Holes: Lay your TV face down on a soft, clean surface. Locate the four threaded mounting holes on the back of your TV. These are the VESA mounting holes.
2. Select Screws and Spacers: Choose the correct diameter and length of screws from the hardware kit that fit your TV's VESA holes. If the screws are too long, use the provided spacers to ensure a secure fit without damaging the TV.
3. Attach TV Brackets: Align the two vertical TV brackets with the VESA holes on the back of your TV. Ensure the hooks on the brackets are facing downwards. Secure the brackets to the TV using the selected screws and washers (and spacers if needed). Tighten firmly.

Step 3: Attach TV to Wall Plate

1. Lift TV: With assistance, carefully lift the TV with the attached brackets.
2. Hook onto Wall Plate: Align the hooks on the TV brackets with the top edge of the wall plate. Carefully lower the TV, ensuring both brackets securely engage with the wall plate.
3. Secure TV: Locate the safety screws at the bottom of the TV brackets. Tighten these screws to anchor the TV brackets to the wall plate, preventing accidental dislodgement.
4. Horizontal Adjustment: The sliding bracket design allows for horizontal adjustment of the TV on the wall plate. Gently slide the TV left or right to achieve perfect screen placement.

Operating the Tilt Feature

This mount allows for a tilt adjustment of 0 to 12 degrees, enabling you to optimize your viewing angle and reduce glare.

• Adjusting Tilt: Gently push the bottom of the TV forward or pull it back to achieve the desired tilt angle. The mount is designed to hold the TV securely at the chosen angle.
• Reducing Glare: Adjust the tilt to minimize reflections from windows or lights, enhancing your viewing experience.

Maintenance

• Regular Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Over time, vibrations or movement can loosen fasteners.
• Cleaning: Clean the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
• Weight Changes: If you replace your TV with a heavier model, ensure it does not exceed the mount's maximum weight capacity.

Troubleshooting

• TV Not Level: If the TV appears unlevel after installation, check the wall plate's levelness. If the wall plate is level, ensure the TV brackets are securely and evenly attached to the TV. The integrated bubble level on the wall plate should assist in initial leveling.
• Difficulty Tilting: Ensure no cables are obstructing the tilt mechanism. Check that the safety screws are not overtightened to the point of restricting movement.
• Mount Feels Loose: Immediately remove the TV from the mount. Re-check all wall plate fasteners and TV bracket screws for tightness. Ensure the wall structure is sound and the correct anchors/bolts were used. Do not re-mount the TV until the issue is resolved.
• Missing Parts: Refer to the "Package Contents" section. If parts are missing, contact Stellar Mounts customer support.
