8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your TV mount, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| TV is not level | Mounting plate or TV brackets are not perfectly aligned. | Use the +/- 3 degree horizontal adjustment feature to level the TV. Ensure all screws are tightened evenly. |
| Difficulty adjusting height/tilt/swivel | Securing bolts are too tight or components are stiff. | Loosen securing bolts slightly before adjusting. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to moving parts if necessary (avoiding electrical components). |
| Mount feels unstable | Incorrect installation, loose fasteners, or overloaded. | Immediately remove TV. Re-check all installation steps, ensuring fasteners are securely tightened and the mount is attached to a solid structural element. Verify TV weight is within limits. If issues persist, consult a professional installer. |
| TV does not fit mount | Incorrect VESA pattern or TV size/weight. | Verify your TV's VESA pattern, size, and weight against the mount's specifications. This mount supports 26-65 inch TVs, up to 50kg, with VESA 75x75mm to 400x400mm. |
