Setup and Installation
Pre-Installation Checks
- Check TV VESA Pattern: Measure the horizontal and vertical distance between the mounting holes on the back of your TV. This is your VESA pattern.
- Check TV Weight: Ensure your TV's weight does not exceed the maximum capacity of the chosen mount.
- Identify Wall Type: Determine if your wall is concrete, brick, or wood stud. This will dictate the appropriate hardware and drilling method.

Step-by-Step Installation (General Guide)
- Attach TV Brackets to TV: Secure the vertical mounting brackets to the back of your TV using the appropriate screws and spacers from the hardware kit. Ensure the brackets are centered and level.
- Mark Drilling Holes: Hold the wall plate against the wall at your desired mounting height. Use a pencil to mark the drilling locations. For wood studs, ensure marks are centered on the stud. For concrete/brick, use a level to ensure accuracy.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations using the recommended drill bit size for your wall type.
- Mount Wall Plate: Attach the wall plate to the wall using the provided lag bolts and washers. Tighten securely, but do not overtighten.
- Hang TV on Wall Plate: Carefully lift the TV with the attached brackets and hook them onto the wall plate. Ensure the TV is securely seated.
- Secure TV to Mount: Use the safety screws or locking mechanisms on the brackets to secure the TV to the wall plate, preventing accidental dislodgement.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the mount. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
- Periodic Checks: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. If any looseness is detected, re-tighten them immediately.
- Lubrication: The articulating joints are designed for smooth movement. If any stiffness occurs over time, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the moving parts.
Troubleshooting
- TV Not Level: If the TV appears unlevel after installation, check the level adjustment feature on your mount (CT139M has +/- 3° level adjustment). For CT129, ensure the wall plate and TV brackets were installed perfectly level.
- Difficulty Adjusting Movement: Ensure no cables are snagged or obstructing movement. Check that all pivot points are free from debris. If the mount feels too stiff or too loose, check the tension screws on the articulating arms and adjust as needed.
- Mount Feels Unstable: Immediately remove the TV from the mount. Re-check all wall plate and TV bracket connections. Ensure the wall anchors are properly installed and the wall type is suitable for the mount. Do not re-mount the TV until stability is confirmed.
