- Weight Limit: Never exceed the specified weight limit of 110 lbs (50 kg).
9. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your TV wall mount, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| TV is not level after installation. | Minor misalignment during installation. | Use the post-installation leveling feature (up to +/- 3 degrees) to adjust the TV. Refer to the installation instructions for details. |
| Mount feels unstable or wobbly. | Loose fasteners or incorrect wall installation. | Ensure all lag bolts securing the wall plate to the wall are tightened. Verify that the TV is securely attached to the TV plate and the TV plate to the wall plate. Re-check wall type compatibility. |
| Difficulty moving the articulating arms or adjusting swivel/tilt. | Joints may be stiff or require lubrication. | Apply gentle, even pressure. If persistent, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the moving joints. Ensure no cables are obstructing movement. |
| TV 'creeps' or slowly shifts position in portrait mode. | Friction in the rotation mechanism may not be sufficient for the TV's weight. | Ensure all adjustment points are tightened after setting the desired orientation. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
