7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your Perlegear TV wall mount and pegboard.

• Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
• Inspect the wall mount and pegboard for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion.
• Clean the surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Ensure cables are still neatly organized and not under undue tension.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during or after installation, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• TV is not level:

  Check the wall plate and TV brackets with a bubble level. Loosen the mounting screws slightly, adjust for level, and then retighten securely.

• Mount feels unstable:

  Ensure all lag screws are fully tightened into the wall studs or concrete. Verify that the wall structure is adequate for the weight. Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity.

• Cannot tilt the TV:

  Ensure the tilt adjustment knobs are loosened before attempting to tilt. If they are too tight, they will prevent movement.

• Pegboard hooks do not fit or are loose:

  Ensure you are using the correct type of hooks for the pegboard holes. The included hooks are designed for a secure fit.
