Installation Guide
Follow these steps for a secure and successful installation. It is recommended to have two people for installation, especially when mounting the TV.
Step 1: Attach TV Brackets to TV
- Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
- Identify the VESA mounting holes on the back of your TV.
- Select the appropriate screws (M4, M5, M6, or M8) and spacers that fit your TV's VESA holes.
- Attach the two TV brackets to the back of your TV using the selected screws and spacers. Ensure the brackets are securely fastened and level.

Step 2: Secure Arm Assembly/Wall Plate to Wall
- Determine the desired height for your TV.
- Use the provided wall plate template to mark the drilling locations on your wall. Ensure the template is level using the included spirit level.
- Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. The size of the drill bit will depend on your wall type (wooden stud, concrete, or brick).
- Insert concrete anchors into the holes if installing on concrete or brick.
- Align the wall plate with the drilled holes and secure it to the wall using the appropriate screws (self-tapping screws for wooden studs, or screws with concrete anchors for concrete/brick). Ensure the wall plate is firmly attached and level.

Step 3: Secure the TV on the Arm Assembly/Wall Plate
- With assistance, carefully lift the TV with the attached brackets.
- Hook the TV brackets onto the wall plate. Ensure they are properly seated and engaged with the safety latches.
- Once the TV is securely hung, engage any additional safety screws or mechanisms to prevent accidental dislodging.
Operating Instructions
The BONTEC TV wall mount allows for flexible adjustments to achieve your desired viewing angle.
Adjusting Tilt Angle
- The mount allows for a tilt adjustment of +5° to -15°.
- To adjust the tilt, use the easy-to-operate knob device located on the mount. No additional tools are required for this adjustment.
- Loosen the knob, adjust the TV to the desired vertical angle, and then tighten the knob to secure it in place.

Adjusting Swivel and Level
- The mount offers a swivel adjustment of +/-45° to position your TV horizontally.
- A fine horizontal level adjustment of +/-3° is also available for precise alignment after installation.
- Gently push or pull the TV to achieve the desired swivel angle. For level adjustment, consult the specific mechanism on your mount (often involves loosening and re-tightening specific screws).

Extending and Retracting
- The mount can extend up to 420 mm (16.5 inches) from the wall and retract to a slim 68 mm (2.7 inches).
- Gently push or pull the TV forward to extend the arms or push it back towards the wall to retract.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and proper functioning of your BONTEC TV wall mount, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Dust the mount regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspections: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Over time, vibrations or adjustments may cause slight loosening.
- Lubrication: If the articulating arms or swivel mechanism become stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the moving joints. Avoid oil-based lubricants that may attract dust.
- Weight Capacity: Do not hang additional items or exceed the maximum weight capacity of the mount, as this can compromise its structural integrity and safety.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your BONTEC TV wall mount, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- TV is not level after installation:
- Check the wall plate to ensure it was installed perfectly level.
- Utilize the fine horizontal level adjustment (+/-3°) feature of the mount to correct minor discrepancies.
- Ensure all screws securing the TV brackets to the mount are tightened evenly.
- Mount feels loose or wobbly:
- Immediately remove the TV from the mount.
- Re-check all wall mounting screws and anchors to ensure they are securely fastened to the wall.
- Verify that the wall type is appropriate for the installation (not drywall alone).
- Ensure the TV brackets are properly engaged with the wall plate and safety locks are secured.
- Difficulty adjusting tilt or swivel:
- For tilt adjustment, ensure the adjustment knob is sufficiently loosened before attempting to change the angle.
- For swivel, ensure there are no obstructions preventing movement.
- Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the moving joints if stiffness persists.
- Missing parts:
- Refer to the "Parts List" section and contact BONTEC customer support if any components are missing from the original package.
If the problem persists after following these steps, please contact BONTEC customer support for further assistance.
