5.2 Attaching TV Brackets
Depending on your TV's back, choose the appropriate option:
- For Flat TV Back: Align the TV brackets with the VESA holes on the back of your TV. Secure them using the appropriate screws and washers from the hardware kit. Do not overtighten.
- For Irregular TV Back: If your TV has an irregular or curved back, use the provided spacers to create a flat mounting surface before attaching the brackets.
5.3 Mounting the Wall Plate
Use the provided mounting template to mark the drill holes on your wall. Ensure the template is level before marking.
- For Wood Studs: Locate the center of your wood studs. Drill pilot holes (7/32 in. / 5.5mm diameter, 2.5 in. / 64mm depth). Secure the wall plate using lag bolts and washers. Do not use plastic anchors for wood studs.
- For Concrete/Brick Walls: Drill pilot holes (3/8 in. / 10mm diameter, 2.5 in. / 64mm depth). Insert concrete anchors into the drilled holes. Secure the wall plate using lag bolts and washers.
After securing the wall plate, perform an integrity test by pulling on the mount to ensure it is firmly attached to the wall.
