6. Setup and Installation
6.1. Attaching TV Brackets to Your TV

- Identify the correct diameter and length of screws for your TV's VESA mounting holes. Refer to your TV's manual if unsure.
- Attach the two TV brackets to the back of your TV using the selected screws and washers. If your TV has an uneven back, use spacers as needed to ensure the brackets are flush and secure. Do not overtighten.
6.2. Mounting the Wall Plate
- Determine Mounting Location: Decide on the desired height for your TV. Use the provided installation template to mark the drill holes on the wall.
- For Wood Stud Installation:
- Use a stud finder to locate the center of the wood studs. Mark the drill holes.
- Drill pilot holes (e.g., 7/32" or 5.5mm) into the center of the marked studs to a depth of approximately 2.75 inches (70mm).
- Attach the wall plate to the wall using the lag bolts and washers. Tighten firmly but do not overtighten.
- For Solid Concrete or Brick Wall Installation:
- Mark the drill holes.
- Drill pilot holes (e.g., 3/8" or 10mm) into the solid concrete or brick to a depth of approximately 3 inches (75mm).
- Insert concrete anchors into the pilot holes, ensuring they are flush with the wall surface.
- Attach the wall plate to the wall using the lag bolts and washers, screwing them into the anchors. Tighten firmly.
- Use the included bubble level to ensure the wall plate is perfectly horizontal before fully tightening all bolts.
6.3. Hanging the TV on the Wall Plate
- With assistance, carefully lift the TV (with brackets attached) and hook the TV brackets onto the wall plate.
- Ensure the TV is securely seated on the wall plate.
