4. Setup and Installation
Installation requires a drill and basic hand tools. Follow these steps carefully.
4.1 Planning Your Installation
- Determine the ideal viewing height for your TV.
- Locate wall studs if mounting on wood. Use a stud finder for accuracy.
- Ensure there are no electrical wires, water pipes, or other obstructions in the drilling area.
- Confirm your TV's VESA pattern is compatible with the mount (200x100mm to 800x400mm).
- Verify your wall type: wood studs (8"/12"/16"/24" spacing), concrete, or brick. Do not install on drywall alone.
4.2 Installing the In-Wall Cable Management Kit (PGWH02W-US)
- Prepare the Wall: Use the provided drill template to mark the locations for the upper and lower cable modules. Ensure the wall depth is at least 2.8 inches at these locations.
- Drill Holes: Attach the drywall hole saw drill attachment to your drill. Position the dust bag directly below the drilling area to collect debris. Carefully drill the marked holes for both the upper and lower modules.
- Insert Modules: Insert the cable modules into the drilled holes. The secure locking wings will engage to hold the modules firmly in place.
- Route Cables: Feed your TV and media device cables through the upper module, down inside the wall, and out through the lower module. This conceals all wires for a clean look.

4.3 Installing the Full Motion TV Wall Mount (PGXLF02-US)
- Attach TV Brackets: Secure the TV brackets to the back of your television using the appropriate screws, washers, and spacers from the provided hardware kit. Ensure the brackets are centered and level.
- Mount Wall Plate: Position the wall plate on the wall at your desired height, ensuring it is level. Mark the drilling points. For wood studs, drill pilot holes. For concrete or brick, drill holes and insert anchors before securing the wall plate with lag bolts.
- Hang TV: Carefully lift the TV and hook the TV brackets onto the wall plate. Secure the TV to the mount using the safety screws or locking mechanisms provided.
Image: The TV mount is compatible with various wall types including concrete, wood studs (with spacing options), and brick. It supports VESA patterns from 200x100mm to 800x400mm and a maximum load of 150 lbs.
5. Operating the TV Wall Mount
The Perlegear Full Motion TV Wall Mount offers flexible viewing options:
- Extension: Pull the TV gently away from the wall to extend it up to 40.1 inches for closer viewing or to access the back of the TV.
- Retraction: Push the TV back towards the wall to retract it to a minimum distance of 3.7 inches, saving space when not in use.
- Swivel: The mount allows for a swivel range of ±90°, enabling multi-zone viewing from different angles in your room.
- Leveling: Adjust the TV ±4° for perfect leveling after installation.

6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the mount and cable management components with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Periodic Checks: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Cable Inspection: Inspect cables routed through the wall for any signs of wear or damage. Replace damaged cables immediately.
7. Troubleshooting
- TV is not level: Use the ±4° leveling adjustment feature on the mount to fine-tune the TV's horizontal position.
- Mount feels loose: Re-check all wall plate lag bolts and TV bracket screws. Ensure they are tightened securely. Do not overtighten.
- Cables do not fit through modules: Ensure you are not trying to route excessively thick or too many cables through the modules. The modules are designed for standard TV and media device cables.
- Difficulty extending/retracting: Check for any obstructions behind the TV or along the mount's arms. Ensure the mount is not overloaded beyond its 150 lbs capacity.
