Before beginning, ensure you have all necessary tools (e.g., drill, level, stud finder, screwdriver, wrench) and that your wall type is compatible. Follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the product packaging for detailed guidance.

- TV Weight and Size: Ensure your TV is within the 26-65 inch range and weighs no more than 35 kg (77 lbs).

7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Periodically (e.g., every 6 months) check all mounting screws and connections to ensure they are tight and secure.
- Lubrication: If the articulated arms become stiff or difficult to move, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the pivot points and joints. Avoid oil-based lubricants that may attract dust.
8. Troubleshooting
- TV is not level: Use the post-installation level adjustment feature (+/-3°) to correct the tilt. Ensure all mounting screws are tightened evenly.
- Mount is difficult to move: Check if any cables are snagged. If the joints are stiff, apply a small amount of silicone lubricant as described in the Maintenance section.
- Mount feels unstable: Immediately remove the TV from the mount. Re-check all wall and TV connections. Ensure the wall type is appropriate and that the weight capacity has not been exceeded. If unsure, consult a professional installer.
