5.2 Installation Steps

Follow these general steps for installation. Refer to the detailed instruction manual included in your package for precise measurements and hardware selection.

1. Attach Brackets to TV Back: Secure the TV brackets to the back of your television using the appropriate screws, washers, and spacers from the hardware kit. Ensure they are firmly attached and aligned with the VESA holes.

2. Install the Wall Plate: Locate the desired mounting position on your wall. Use the provided mounting template and a level to mark the drilling points for the wall plate. Drill pilot holes according to the instructions for your specific wall type (wood stud, concrete, or brick). Secure the wall plate firmly to the wall using the appropriate lag bolts and anchors.
3. Hang TV onto Wall Plate: Carefully lift the TV with the attached brackets and hook them onto the wall plate. Ensure the TV is securely seated on the mount. Fasten any safety screws or locking mechanisms as per the manual to prevent accidental dislodgement.

6. Operating Instructions (Adjustments)

The FORGING MOUNT TV wall mount offers full motion capabilities for flexible viewing.

6.1 Extension and Retraction

Gently pull or push the TV to extend it up to 43 inches (109 cm) from the wall or retract it to a slim 2.76 inches (7 cm) profile. This allows for optimal viewing from various distances and saves space when not in use.

6.2 Swivel Adjustment

The mount allows for a 180° swivel range, enabling you to turn your TV left or right to suit your viewing position. The actual swivel angle may vary slightly depending on the size of your television.

6.3 Tilt Adjustment

Adjust the tilt angle of your TV from +5° (upwards) to -12° (downwards). This feature is useful for reducing glare from lights or windows and optimizing viewing from different heights.

6.4 Level Adjustment

After installation, you can make fine-tune adjustments to level your TV by ±3°. This ensures your screen is perfectly horizontal, even if the wall plate was not installed perfectly level.

7. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and safe operation of your TV wall mount, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Regular Inspection: Periodically (e.g., every 6 months) inspect all mounting hardware, bolts, and connections to ensure they are tight and secure.
• Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Lubrication: The articulating joints are designed for smooth movement. If you notice any stiffness over time, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the pivot points.
• Weight Limit: Never attempt to mount a TV heavier than the specified 220 lbs (100 kg) limit.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your FORGING MOUNT TV wall mount, refer to the following common solutions:

• TV Not Level After Installation: Use the ±3° post-installation level adjustment feature. Loosen the leveling screws slightly, adjust the TV to the desired level using a spirit level, and then re-tighten the screws.
• Mount Feels Loose or Sags:
  • Ensure all lag bolts securing the wall plate to the wall are fully tightened.
  • Verify that the TV brackets are securely fastened to the TV and the mount.
  • Confirm that the wall type is appropriate and the installation was done correctly (e.g., not on drywall alone).
  • Check that the TV weight does not exceed the 220 lbs capacity.
• Difficulty Moving/Adjusting the Mount:
  • Check for any obstructions behind the TV or mount.
  • Ensure no cables are caught in the articulating arms.
  • The joints may be stiff initially; gentle force should allow movement. If persistent, apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the pivot points.
• Stud Alignment Issues (for wood stud installation): If your wall studs are not perfectly centered or spaced, you may need to install a wooden ledger board across multiple studs first, and then attach the wall mount to the ledger board. This provides a wider, more flexible mounting surface.
