8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| TV is not level after installation. | Minor misalignment during wall plate installation. | Use the ±3° post-installation leveling feature to adjust. Refer to the operating instructions. |
| Difficulty adjusting tilt or swivel. | Adjustment bolts may be too tight; TV size may limit swivel range. | Loosen adjustment bolts slightly. Note that larger TVs may have reduced swivel range due to hitting the wall. |
| Mount feels loose on the wall. | Improper installation or loose fasteners. | Immediately remove the TV. Re-check all wall plate fasteners and ensure they are securely tightened into appropriate wall structures (wood studs, concrete). Do not re-mount TV until secure. |
| Missing parts in package. | Packaging error. | Contact USX MOUNT customer service for replacement parts. |
