Step 1: Secure the Extender Brackets to Faceplate (Optional)

Select the combination that applies to your TV's VESA Hole Pattern.

Option A: No Need to Attach Extender Brackets to Faceplate

This option is for VESA hole patterns such as:

3x3 in (75x75 mm)
4x4 in (100x100 mm)
4x5.9 in (100x150 mm)

Diagrams show the faceplate [01A] with the [up-arrow] indicator, and how it connects directly to the TV's VESA holes.

Option B: Need to Attach Extender Brackets to Faceplate

This option is for larger VESA hole patterns where extender brackets [02] and [03] are required. Diagrams illustrate various configurations for VESA hole patterns including:

11.8x11.8 in (300x300 mm)
15.7x15.7 in (400x400 mm)
15.7x11.8 in (400x300 mm)

Diagrams show the faceplate [01A] with extender brackets [02] and [03] attached, with [up-arrow] indicators.

Step 2: Secure the Faceplate [01A] or Faceplate [01A] with Extender Brackets [02] and [03] to TV

Note: The side with the nut and Phillips head bolt should be upwards-facing.

Note: The side with a bump should be touched with the faceplate.

Note: Please do not firmly tighten the bolts [G] and nuts [H] until Step 2 is finished.

Select TV Bolts:

Only one bolt size fits your TV. Diagrams show M4, M6, and M8 bolt types.

Bolt length: Verify adequate thread engagement with bolts or bolts/spacers combination. Recommend thread engagement by at least 5 turns.

Too short will not hold the TV.
Too long will damage the TV.

Diagrams illustrate "Too Short", "Too Long", and "Correct" bolt lengths.

Please Note: The provided TV bolts meet most of today's TVs. However, some TVs require special bolts. Perlesmith offers the "PSUHP" Universal Hardware Kit for older or unique applications.

Please Note: When using spacers, they can be used in multi-layers (stacked). If you have difficulty installing TV bolts or spacers, contact customer service at supportus@perlesmith.com.

CAUTION: Ensure the faceplate [01A] or faceplate [01A] with extender brackets [02] and [03] is EQUALLY CENTERED on your TV and securely fastened in place.

PLEASE NOTE: The bolt hole locations on your TV may vary. The diagrams illustrate possible locations.

The manual then details three options for attaching the mount to the TV:

Option A (For Flat Back TV): Shows the faceplate [01A] with bolts [06] and optional spacers [05] and [04].
Option B (For Round Back TV): Shows the faceplate [01A] with extender brackets [02], [03], bolts [06], and optional spacers [05] and [04].
Option C (For TV with A "Bump"): Similar to Option B, showing attachment with extender brackets, bolts, and spacers.
Option D: For cable interference or inset holes, use spacers [05] to create extra space between the TV and the faceplate.

Diagrams show "Alternate Spacer Setups" for various configurations.

Note: When finished securing TV bolts, remember to tighten nuts [H] using a socket wrench.

Step 3: Attach the Arm Assembly/Wall Plate [01B] to Wall

For wood stud installation, follow STEP 3A.

For concrete installation, follow STEP 3B.

Step 3A Wood Stud Option

WARNING: Avoid potential personal injury or property damage! DO NOT over-tighten the lag screws [A1]. Tighten lag screws [A1] only until they are pulled firmly against the arm assembly/wall plate [01B].

DO NOT USE ANCHOR [A2] FOR THIS STEP.

Ensure the arm assembly/wall plate [01B] is securely fastened to the wall before continuing.

Any material covering the wall must not exceed 5/8 in (16 mm).
Nominal wood stud size: common 2 x 4 in (51 x 102 mm) minimum, or 1.5 x 3.5 in (38 x 89 mm).
Stud center must be verified.

Installation Steps:

3A-1: Locate studs using a stud finder or awl, marking edges and centers.
3A-2: Position the Wall Plate Template [07] at the desired height, align with stud centers, level, and mark holes. [assistance-required] Assistance may be needed.
3A-3: Drill 3 pilot holes (5/32 in / 4mm) to a depth of at least 2 23/64 in (60mm).
3A-4: Install the arm assembly/wall plate [01B] using lag screws [A1] and a 3/8 in (10mm) socket wrench. Tighten screws firmly but do not overtighten. [assistance-required] Assistance may be needed.

Step 3B Solid Concrete or Concrete Block Option

Ensure the arm assembly/wall plate [01B] is securely fastened to the wall before continuing.

Any material covering the wall must not exceed 5/8 in (16 mm).
Mount the arm assembly/wall plate directly onto the concrete surface.
Minimum solid concrete thickness: 203 mm (8 in).
Minimum concrete block size: 203 x 203 x 406 mm (8 x 8 x 16 in).
Never drill into the mortar between blocks.

Installation Steps:

3B-1: Position Wall Plate Template [07] at the desired height, level it, and mark pilot hole locations. [assistance-required] Assistance may be needed.
3B-2: Drill 4 pilot holes (3/8 in / 10mm) to a depth of at least 2 9/16 in (65mm). Never drill into mortar.
3B-3: Use a hammer to knock anchors [A2] into the wall, ensuring they are seated flush with the concrete surface.
3B-4: Install wall plate using lag screws [A1] and a 3/8 in (10mm) socket wrench. Tighten screws firmly but do not overtighten. [assistance-required] Assistance may be needed.

Step 4: Secure the TV onto the Arm Assembly/Wall Plate [01]

4-1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the bolt [S1] from the faceplate [01A] and keep it for Step 4-3.

4-2. Hang the TV to the arm assembly/wall plate, ensuring the upper bolt hangs on the hook.

4-3. Tighten the bolt [S1] to secure the TV to the arm assembly/wall plate.

Diagrams illustrate these steps, showing the TV being hung and then secured with bolt [S1].

[assistance-required] Assistance may be needed. Use a 1/2 in (13mm) Socket Wrench (Not Included) and Phillips Screwdriver (Not Included).

Step 5: Adjustments

5-1 Level Adjustment

If needed, the TV can be levelled.

CAUTION! Please do not over-tighten or over-loosen the bolts.

Steps:

Slightly loosen the bolt [S1] using a Phillips Screwdriver (Not Included).
Level your TV.
Tighten the bolt [S1] to secure the TV in place.

Diagrams show the loosening, leveling, and tightening of bolt [S1].

5-2 Tilt Adjustment
