Setup and Installation

Follow these steps carefully for a secure installation. It is recommended to have at least two people for installation, especially when mounting the TV.

Tools Required (Not Included):

• Pencil
• Stud Finder (for wood stud installation)
• Drill with appropriate drill bits (e.g., 1/2 inch for concrete, 7/32 inch for wood studs)
• Socket Wrench or Adjustable Wrench
• Phillips Head Screwdriver
• Hammer (for concrete anchors)

Installation Steps:

1. Step 1: Attach Brackets to Your 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 screws, washers, and spacers from the hardware kit that fit your TV. Attach the two vertical TV brackets to the back of your TV using the selected hardware. Ensure the brackets are securely fastened and evenly spaced.
2. Step 2: Mount Arm Assembly on Wall
   Determine the desired height for your TV. Use a stud finder to locate the center of two adjacent wood studs if installing on wood. For concrete/brick, mark the desired drilling points. Use the provided drilling template to mark the pilot holes on the wall. Drill the pilot holes to the appropriate depth and diameter for your wall type. Secure the wall plate assembly to the wall using the lag bolts and washers. For concrete/brick, insert concrete anchors into the pilot holes before securing the lag bolts. Ensure the wall plate is level using the included bubble level.
3. Step 3: Hang TV on the Arm Assembly
   With assistance, carefully lift the TV with the attached brackets and hook them onto the wall plate assembly. Ensure the TV brackets are properly seated on the wall plate. Secure the TV to the mount using the safety screws or locking mechanisms provided. This prevents accidental dislodging.
4. Step 4: Post-Installation Leveling (Optional)
   After the TV is mounted, you can make minor horizontal adjustments (+/-3°) to ensure perfect leveling. Refer to the mount's specific leveling mechanism, usually a screw or knob on the TV brackets.

Operating Instructions

Your Pipishell Full Motion TV Wall Mount allows for various adjustments to achieve the best viewing angle.

Extension and Retraction:

Gently pull or push the TV from the sides to extend it up to 16.54 inches from the wall or retract it to a minimum distance of 2.79 inches. Ensure smooth movement and avoid sudden forceful actions.

Swivel Adjustment:

The mount allows for a +/-45° swivel. Gently push the TV screen to the left or right to adjust the viewing angle. The enhanced hinges ensure smooth and controlled movement.

Tilt Adjustment:

Adjust the vertical tilt of your TV from +5° (upward) to -15° (downward) to reduce glare or optimize viewing. This is a tool-free adjustment, typically involving a friction gear or knob on the TV brackets. Loosen, adjust, and then tighten to secure the desired tilt angle.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your TV mount.

• Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Periodic Checks: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight and secure. Over time, vibrations or adjustments can cause them to loosen.
• Movement: If the mount's movement becomes stiff, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the articulating joints. Avoid oil-based lubricants.
