Use the post-installation level adjustment feature (typically a screw or knob on the TV brackets) to fine-tune the horizontal alignment of your TV. Refer to section 6.4 for details.
8.2 Mount Feels Loose or Unstable
- Recheck all wall mounting bolts and TV bracket screws to ensure they are tightened to the recommended torque.
- Verify that the wall type is appropriate for the installation and that studs/anchors are correctly installed.
- Ensure the TV's weight does not exceed the mount's capacity.
8.3 Difficulty Adjusting Tilt/Swivel/Extension
- Ensure no cables are snagged or obstructing movement.
