Overview

Required Tools

Display/TV Placement

Before installing the Gabor Tilting Wall Mount, you will need to determine the placement of your display and identify surrounding support structures for attachment.
The best height for a display is at the viewer’s eye level. You can find this height in one of two ways.

1. Measure the distance from the seating area to viewing area. Ideally, the center of the display (where the diagonals meet) should be as close as possible to eye level.
2. Cut a piece of sturdy cardboard that’s approximately the same size as your display. Use the cardboard to determine a comfortable level for the display, and mark the location with a pencil.

Attaching the Display/TV Brackets

Selecting the Right VESA Mounting Hardware for Your Display

A variety of screws are included to fit VESA standards on the backs of most displays. Select the M4, M5, M6, or M8 screws and washers that best fit your display. Hand-thread the screws to determine the correct diameter.

If Your TV Has a Flat Back
Install the bracket directly to your TV. using only the screws and washers provided.

If Your TV Has a Curved Back or Recessed Mounting
Install the spacers between the bracket and your TV. Then fasten with the screws and washers until secure.

Attaching the Wall Bracket to Concrete

Note: Mounting hardware for attaching the bracket to concrete and masonry walls is included. Consult a professional for attaching the bracket to other wall surfaces.
Warning: Make sure the concrete wall is solid and at least 8 inches (20 cm) thick. If the concrete exhibits cracks or other defects, this may result in failure of the concrete anchors and cause serious personal injury or damage your display.

1. Place the wall bracket up to the location marked for your display, and use a pencil to mark the four drilling holes needed for the concrete anchors. Use the included bubble level to make sure the bracket is level before drilling.
2. Use a 3/8-inch (10 mm) concrete drill bit to predrill the marked spots 2.4 inches (60 mm) deep, and then clean out the debris from the holes.
3. Insert the concrete anchors into the predrilled holes, and use a hammer to tap the anchors into the concrete.
4. Attach the bracket to the wall by inserting the anchor screws through the washers and the wall brackets’ mounting holes, and screw them into the anchors until secure. Use the wrench to further tighten the anchor screws, but do not overtighten. Use the included bubble level to make sure the bracket is level.
