• Tilt: The mount allows for a tilt range of +5° to -15° to reduce glare. Loosen the tilt adjustment knobs, adjust to the desired angle, and re-tighten.
• Swivel: The mount offers a +/-90° swivel range. Gently push or pull the TV to achieve the desired horizontal viewing angle. The maximum swivel angle depends on your TV's size.
• Level Adjustment: After installation, you can adjust the TV level by +/-4°. This feature helps correct any minor leveling discrepancies.

6.3 Cable Management

Use the built-in Velcro cable ties to organize and conceal cables along the mount's arms. This helps maintain a tidy appearance and prevents cable damage.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Connection Checks: Periodically inspect all mounting screws and bolts to ensure they are tight and secure.
• Movement: If the arm movement becomes stiff, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the pivot points.

8. Troubleshooting

• TV Not Level: Use the post-installation level adjustment feature (+/-4°) to correct any tilt. Ensure the wall plate was installed level initially.
• Difficulty Moving TV: Check for any obstructions. Ensure all pivot points are free of debris. If necessary, apply 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 fasteners are correctly installed and tightened. Do not re-mount the TV until stability is confirmed.
• Cable Blockage: Ensure cables are routed correctly using the cable management system and are not interfering with the mount's movement or being pinched.
