6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and safe operation of your TV wall mount, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Regular Screw Checks: Periodically (e.g., every 6 months) check all mounting screws and bolts to ensure they are tight and secure. Vibrations or movement can sometimes loosen connections over time.
- Cleaning: Clean the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish.
- Lubrication: If the articulating arms become stiff over time, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the pivot points. Do not use oil-based lubricants.
- Avoid Overloading: Never exceed the specified weight capacity of 45 kg.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your BONTEC TV wall mount, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- TV is not level: Use the ±3° level adjustment feature to fine-tune the horizontal position. Ensure the wall plate was installed level using the spirit level.
- Mount feels loose: Immediately check all wall mounting screws and TV bracket screws. Tighten any loose connections. If the issue persists, re-evaluate your wall type and consider professional assistance.
- Difficulty moving the arm/TV: Ensure no cables are snagged or obstructing movement. Check if any pivot points require lubrication (refer to Maintenance section). Do not force movement.
- Missing parts: Refer to the Package Contents section. If parts are missing upon unboxing, contact BONTEC customer support immediately.
