Attach Wall Plate to Wall

A. INSTALLING IN DRYWALL (TIMBER SUPPORTS)

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.

Locate the centre of two adjacent timber studs using a stud finder.
(NOTE: You must use the centre of the stud to avoid cracking or splitting the timber during installation).
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. Ensure plate is level.
Pre-drill holes to a minimum depth of 55mm using a high speed 4.5mm drill bit. If installing in hardwood, larger diameter and deeper holes may be required.
Attach the wall plate using the lag bolts (W-A) through the washers (W-C). Do not over tighten.

B. 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

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

Attach Mounting Arms to TV

Using a second person for assistance, lay your TV face down on something soft so as not to scratch the TV screen.
Check the back of your TV to find the appropriate mounting pattern.
Sort through the provided bolts (M-A to M-D) 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 correct-sized washer (M-E or W-C). If no bolts fit you will need to go to your local hardware supplier to find the correct bolt and washer sizes.
Gently put your mounting arms (B) on the back of the TV so that the mounting holes are showing through the holes of the mounting arms.
If the back of your TV is curved or recessed you will also need to use a spacer (M-F or M-G or combination of both) 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.
Using the correct mounting bolt size and length, insert these through the corresponding hole on the correct-sized washer (M-E or W-C) to attach mounting arms to the rear of the TV. 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.

Hook Arms over Wall Plate

Using a second person for assistance, carefully lift the TV and hook arms over the top of the wall plate.
Slowly lower the bottom of the TV until the bottom of the mounting arm locks into the bottom of the wall plate (3a).
Once your TV is in place tighten the screws at the bottom of the mounting arms (3b). This will help ensure that your TV does not fall off your wall plate during use.
To remove the TV from the wall plate, loosen the screws at the bottom of the mounting arms this will release the mounting arms.
Pull the bottom of the TV slightly towards you and then lift the TV from the wall plate.
Check your TV Wall Mount is secure and safe to use at regular intervals (at least every three months).

Tilt Adjustment

Using a second person to help, extend the bracket out as far as it will go as shown in figure 3.
Loosen the tension of the bolts at the tilting mechanism using Socket Wrench or Spanner enough so you can carefully adjust the tilt angle of your TV to the desired angle.
It is important to note that the steel arms will flex slightly down under the weight of the TV, so if you require your TV to ultimately be at 0 degrees…then it would be desirable to set the angle at +3 degree to allow for the flex etc
Once the correct position has been reached tighten the bolts back up again to lock the angle is position. It is important not to over tighten the bolts.

Level Adjustment

In some instances a slight adjustment might be required to level the TV.
Using a second person to help, extend the bracket out as far as it will go as shown in figure 3 and have the second person hold the TV.
Loosen the tension of the 4 bolts directly behind the mounting plate (as shown in figure 5) enough so you can carefully adjust the left and right level of the TV.
Once the correct position has been reached tighten the bolts back up again to lock the levels position. It is important not to over tighten the bolts.
