Setup and Installation

Tools Required (Not Included):

• Drill
• Stud finder
• Level
• Screwdriver
• Pencil
• Measuring tape

Before You Begin:

• Ensure your TV's weight and VESA pattern are within the mount's specifications.
• Locate wall studs for secure mounting. Do not mount into drywall alone.
• Have a second person assist with lifting the TV.

Step 1: Attach TV Brackets to TV

1. Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface.
2. Identify the VESA mounting holes on the back of your TV.
3. Select the appropriate screws, washers, and spacers (if needed) from the hardware kit that fit your TV's mounting holes.
4. Attach the two vertical TV brackets to the back of your TV, ensuring they are centered and level. Do not overtighten.

Step 2: Install Wall Plate to Wall

1. Determine the desired height for your TV.
2. Use a stud finder to locate the center of two adjacent wall studs. Mark their positions.
3. Position the wall plate against the wall at the desired height, ensuring it is level. Mark the drilling locations through the holes on the wall plate.
4. Drill pilot holes at the marked locations.
5. Secure the wall plate to the wall using the provided lag bolts and washers. Tighten firmly, but do not overtighten.

Step 3: Hang TV on Wall Plate

1. With assistance, carefully lift the TV (with brackets attached) and hook the brackets onto the wall plate.
2. Ensure the TV is securely seated on the wall plate.
3. Engage any safety locking mechanisms on the TV brackets to prevent accidental dislodging.

Operating Instructions

This full motion mount allows for flexible TV positioning.

• Extension: Gently pull or push the TV to extend or retract it from the wall.
• Swivel: Carefully pivot the TV left or right to achieve the desired viewing angle. The mount supports a ±90° swivel range.
• Tilt: Loosen the tilt adjustment knobs (if present) on the TV brackets, adjust the TV to the desired vertical angle (+12° to -12°), and then re-tighten the knobs to secure the position.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Periodic Check: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Lubrication: No lubrication is required for the moving parts.

Troubleshooting

Problem: TV is not level after installation.

Solution: Check the wall plate and TV brackets for levelness. Adjust as needed by slightly loosening and re-tightening screws. Some mounts have a post-installation leveling feature; refer to specific instructions if applicable.

Problem: Mount feels loose or unstable.

Solution: Immediately remove the TV. Re-check all wall mounting bolts and TV bracket screws for tightness. Ensure the mount is securely fastened to wall studs. If the issue persists, consult a professional installer.

Problem: Difficulty adjusting tilt or swivel.

Solution: For tilt, ensure the tilt adjustment knobs are sufficiently loosened before attempting to adjust, then re-tighten. For swivel, ensure no cables are snagged or obstructing movement. Do not force movement.
