  WARNING: If attaching this TV Wall Mount using this method, you MUST center the wall plate across 2 wall studs.

2. Mark a minimum of 4 fixing holes over stud centers using the wall plate as a guide – position 2 at either end of the Wall Plate (see Figure 1A). Ensure the plate is level.
3. Pre-drill holes to a minimum depth of 50mm using a high-speed 4.5mm drill bit. If installing in hardwood, larger diameter and deeper holes may be required.
4. Attach the wall plate (A) using the lag bolts (W-A) through the washers (W-C). Do not over tighten.

Step 1: Attach Wall Plate to Wall
A. INSTALLING IN DRYWALL (TIMBER FRAME)
WARNING: If attaching this TV Wall Mount using this method, you MUST centre the wall plate across 2 wall studs. Wall studs can be 450mm or 600mm apart depending upon the position of the wall and the geographical state you live in. The Crest Company will not accept any damages that may occur if only 1 stud is used.
The Crest Company holds no responsibility for incorrectly installed TV Wall Mounts.

1. Locate the centre of two adjacent timber studs. Crest recommends the use of a stud finder (not included).
   (NOTE: You must use the centre of the stud to avoid cracking or splitting the timber during installation).

2. Mark a minimum of 4 fixing holes over stud centres using the wall plate as a guide – position 2 at either end of the Wall Plate (see Figure 1A). Ensure plate is level.

3. Pre-drill holes to a minimum depth of 50mm using a high speed 4.5mm drill bit. If installing in hardwood, larger diameter and deeper holes may be required.

4. Attach the wall plate (A) using the lag bolts (W-A) through the washers (W-C). Do not over tighten.

INSTALLING IN MASONRY
WARNING: Ensure you have a minimum of 35mm of actual concrete/brick thickness in the hole for the anchors. Do not drill into mortar joints. Installer must verify that the supporting surface will safely support the combined weight of the TV Wall Mount and TV.
The Crest Company holds no responsibility for incorrectly installed TV Wall Mounts.

1. Mark a minimum of four fixing holes (preferably 6) using the Wall Plate as a guide – position 2 at either end of the Wall Plate (see Figure 1B). Ensure plate is level.
2. Pre-drill holes to a minimum depth of 60mm using 10mm masonry drill bit. Clean out holes.
3. Fully insert concrete anchors (W-B). Tap in with hammer if required.
4. Attach wall plate (A) by inserting the lag bolts (W-A) through the washers (W-C) into each concrete anchor (W-B). Do not over tighten.

Step 2: Attach Mounting Arms to TV
The Crest Company endeavours to provide the correct sized bolts required to mount the arms to the back of the TV, however this may not be possible for all TV models. If this is the case please purchase the correct sized bolts from your local hardware.

1. Using a second person for assistance, lay your TV face down on something soft so as not to scratch the TV screen.
2. Check the back of your TV to find the appropriate mounting pattern.
3.  Sort through the provided bolts (M-A to M-E) until you find the correct size that easily fits into the back of your TV and fits snugly (the bolt must turn at least 3 full turns, do not tighten). If you feel resistance stop immediately and select a smaller bolt. Once you have selected the correct bolt size, use the multi-sized washer (M-F). If no bolts fit you will need to go to your local hardware supplier to find the correct bolt and washer sizes.
4. Screw Lock Nuts (D) through Black Washers (E) into Left and Right Mounting Arms (B/C) to lock in the required tilt angle (see figure 2A). It is important to attached the Lock Nuts to the opposite side of each Mount Arm (see figure 2A)
5. Gently put your mounting arms (B and C) on the back of the TV so that the mounting holes are showing through the holes of the mounting arms (see Figure 2B). If the back of your TV is curved or recessed you will also need to use spacers (M-G and M-H) depending upon the amount of space you are trying to clear. If using a spacer you will also need to use longer screws. Remember that the bolt needs to turn at least 3 full turns.
6. Using the correct mounting bolt size and length, insert these through the corresponding hole on the multi-sized washer (M-F) to attach mounting arms to the rear of the TV (see Figure 2B). To avoid damaging TV, do not over tighten bolts. The Crest Company is not responsible for any damage caused by screwing the bolt too far into the back of the TV.

Step 3: Hook Arms Over Wall Plate

1. Using a second person for assistance, carefully lift the TV and hook arms over the top of the wall plate (see Figure 3).
2. Slowly lower the bottom of the TV until the bottom of the mounting arm locks on the wall plate. This will help ensure that your TV does not fall off your wall plate during use (see Figure 3).
3. Slide lockable bar (F) through the mounting arms and secure with padlock (not included) (See figure 4).

Check your TV Wall Mount is secure and safe to use at regular intervals (at least every three months).
