7. Maintenance
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure.
- Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Lubrication: Moving parts are designed for smooth operation and generally do not require lubrication. If movement becomes stiff, consult customer support.
8. Troubleshooting
- Mount feels loose: Re-check all mounting screws on both the wall plate and the VESA plate. Ensure they are tightened securely. Verify that the mount is installed into a solid wood stud or properly anchored concrete/brick wall.
- Difficulty adjusting tilt/swivel: Check if any adjustment screws are overtightened. Loosen slightly to allow movement, then re-tighten to desired tension.
- TV not level: Use the integrated bubble level or a separate level to adjust the wall plate before final tightening. Small adjustments can be made by slightly loosening and re-tightening the mounting screws.
