Step 1
Installing The Spring Arm To The Wallplate
Attach the Spring Arm (B) and Wall Plate (A) with bolts (4 x I) as shown, using the Allen Wrench (Q) to tighten securely.

Step 2
Installing The TV Bracket To The Spring Arm
Placing Washer (J) on the 3 exposed bolts on the Spring Arm (B) attach TV BRACKET (C) as shown then secure with Washer (K) and Nut (L). Use Wrench (T) to tighten securely.

Attaching The Plastic Plate To The TV Bracket
Install Plastic Plate (H) to cover the nuts from the previous step inserting Bolt (M) from the opposite side as shown using a screwdriver to tighten.

Step 3
Positioning The Mount Over The Fireplace
The height of the mount is dependent on the depth of the mantel to ensure the spring arm clears the mantel when fully lowered.
Determine the proper wall placement using the chart below.
Measure the depth of your mantel and locate the closest measurement in column A that your mantel depth is Greater Than Or Equal To. The corresponding measurement in column B will show the minimum required mounting height  from the mantel to the bottom of the wall plate.
Note: Installing below the required mounting height for your mantel depth will prevent the mount from fully clearing the mantel.

Step 4
Option 1. Wood Studs Installation
Use a stud finder to locate 2 drywall studs and mark the location with a pencil. Using a bubble level to ensure straightness, hold the Wall Template (U) to the wall at required mounting height determined by step 3. Mark the center of the  template holes which align with the center of each stud.
Use a 3/16″ (4.5mm) drill bit to drill pilot holes on the wall with a depth of 2.2″ (55mm). Please note, failure to drill pilot holes may result in the lag bolt heads snapping during installation.
Holding the mount to the wall aligned with the pilot holes install Washer (W-C) and Lag Bolt (W-A) and tighten securely. Do not overtighten. Overtightening can damage the lag bolts, greatly reducing their holding power.
NOTE: This step may require assistance of 1 or more persons to hold heavy parts in place.
CAUTION: DO NOT INSTALL ON DRY WALL ALONE. INSTALL MOUNT ON WOOD STUDS. USER MUST VERIFY THE WALL CAN HOLD THE WEIGHT OF THE TV AND THE TV MOUNT.
WARNING: Tighten screws so that the wall plate is firmly attached, but do not overtighten. Overtightening can damage screws, greatly reducing their holding power.

Option 2. Concrete/brick Installation
Using the bubble level (V) to ensure straightness, hold the Wall Template (U) to the wall at the required mounting height determined by step 3. Identify the 4 outermost holes (located at each corner) and mark the center of the holes with a pencil.
Use a 3/8″ (10mm) drill bit to drill pilot holes on the wall with a depth of 2.4″ (60mm). Please note, failure to drill pilot holes may result in the lag bolt heads snapping during installation, or stone cracking/crumbling.
Never drill into the mortar in between the blocks, make sure that the anchors are seated flush with the concrete surface.

Carefully clear any dust or debris from inside the drilled holes and insert all 4 Plastic Wall Anchors (W-B).
Holding the mount to the wall aligned with the pilot holes install Washer (W-C) and Lag Bolts (W-A) and tighten securely. Do not overtighten. Overtightening can damage the lag bolts or the wall, greatly reducing their holding power.

WARNING: Tighten screws so that wall plate is firmly attached, but do not overtighten. Overtightening can damage screws, greatly reducing their holding power.

Step 5
Attaching The Decorative Plates
Install Decorative Cover (G) as shown over the top and bottom of the wall bracket, covering the now installed lag bolts.

Step 6
Attaching The Vesa Brackets To The TV
Lay your display face down on a soft, flat, or even surface to prevent damage, and place the VESA Bracket (D) over the bolt holes on the rear of the TV so that the VESA Brackets (D) are aligned with one another and not hanging over the  top or bottom of the screen. Select the appropriate size mounting bolt for your display’s mounting holes and verify the length of the VESA bolt is not too long. If you are unsure of the correct bolt size for your display refer to your TV user  manual or contact the TV manufacturer for sizing information. If necessary use the included spacers (M-G or M-H) between the mount and the TV as shown above to adjust the length of the mounting bolt. Multiple spacers can be used in  combination to achieve the desired bolt depth. Square Washer (M-F) must be used in all configurations.

Step 7
Attaching the pull handle
a. Attach the Cross Bar (E) to the VESA Brackets (D) using Washer (P) and Bolt (O). Tighten securely using Allen Wrench (Q).
b. Attach Pull Handle (F) to the Cross Bar (E) using Washer (P) and Bolt (N). Tighten securely using Allen Wrench (Q).

Step 8
Attaching TV To The Spring Arm
a. Insert the Allen Key into the hole as shown to prevent the end of the mount from moving when you are hanging the TV.
CAUTION: FAILURE TO FIX THE SPRING ARM POSITION BY INSERTING ALLEN KEY (Q) MAY RESULT IN INJURY ”
b. To attach the TV to the mount, remove the Nut (D1) pictured, lower the latch as shown. Once lowered, attach the VESA bracket to the TV Plate.
Raise the latch up and reinstall nut (D1) to secure the TV in place.

Step 9
Adjusting the spring arm tension
The tension of the spring arm must match the weight of the TV for easy height adjustment of the TV.
The spring arm tension is set at the lowest level as factory default. Depending on the weight of the TV, the spring arm tension may need to be increased.
Note: Omitting spring arm tension adjustment may result in your TV not staying in the desired position.

Note: Use the included ratchet wrench(R) and ratchet bit(S) to adjust the tension adjustment.
To increase the tension (heavier TV) rotate the Ratchet wrench clockwise(multiple rotations might be required to reach the adequate spring tension level.)
To decrease the tension (lighter TV) rotate the Ratchet wrench (R) counter- clockwise (multiple rotations might be required to reach the adequate spring tension level.)

Ratchet wrench (R) counter-clockwise (multiple rotations might be required to reach the adequate
