1. Attach Brackets to TV Back: Secure the two TV brackets to the VESA mounting holes on the back of your television using the appropriate screws, washers, and spacers from the hardware kit. Ensure they are firmly tightened.
2. Install the Wall Plate: Locate your desired mounting position on the wall. Use a stud finder to identify wood studs or ensure you are drilling into solid concrete/brick. Use the provided drilling template to mark pilot holes. Drill the holes and secure the wall plate assembly to the wall using the lag bolts and anchors (if applicable). Use the included bubble level to ensure the wall plate is perfectly horizontal.
3. Hang TV onto Wall Plate: Carefully lift the television (with attached brackets) and hook the TV brackets onto the wall plate. Ensure the TV is securely seated. Tighten any safety screws or locking mechanisms to prevent accidental dislodgement.
