WARNING INFORMATION
WARNING: FAILURE TO READ, THOROUGHLY UNDERSTAND, AND FOLLOW ALL
INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, DAMAGE TO PERSONAL
PROPERTY, OR VOIDING OF FACTORY WARRANTY!
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure all components are
properly assembled and installed using the instructions provided. If you do
not understand these instructions or have any questions or concerns, please
contact customer service at
1-800-645-7750.
Do not attempt to install or assemble this product if the product or hardware is damaged or missing. In the event that replacement parts or hardware are needed, please contact Customer Service at 1-800-645-7750. International customers needing assistance should contact the Dealer from which they purchased the product.
The included hardware is designed for use on vertical walls constructed of
wood studs or solid concrete. A wood stud wall is defined as consisting of a
minimum of 2×4 wooden studs (2” wide by 4” deep) with a maximum of 5/8”
drywall.
The included hardware is not designed for use with metal studs or cinderblock
walls. If you’re uncertain about the construction of your wall, then please
consult a qualified contractor or installer for assistance. For a safe
installation, the wall you are mounting to must support 4 times the weight of
the total load. If not, then the surface must be reinforced to meet this
standard. The installer is responsible for verifying that the wall structure
and hardware used in any installation method will safely support the total
load.

Attach the mount arms to your TV
IMPORTANT! Use extra care during this part of the installation. If possible, avoid placing your display facedown as it may damage the viewing surface.
NOTE: This mount comes with a selection of different bolt diameters and lengths to accommodate a wide variety of display models. Not all of the hardware in the kit will be used. If you cannot find the appropriate bolt size in the kit provided, consult the manufacturer of your display for more information.
- Determine the correct length of bolt (M-A, M-B, or M-C) to use.
- If the back of your display is flat and the mounting holes are flush with the surface, use the shorter bolts from the hardware kit.
- If the back of your display is curved, has a protrusion, or if the mounting holes are recessed, use the longer bolts. You may also need to use the big spacers.
- Determine the correct diameter of bolt to use by carefully trying one of each size (M-A, M-B, or M-C) from the hardware kit. Do not force any of the bolts – if you feel resistance stop immediately and try a smaller diameter bolt.
- Attach the mount arms to the back of your display using the bolts identified in Steps 1 and 2 along with the M-D washers and spacers.
Installation on wood stud
-
Use a stud finder to locate two wood studs where you wish to install your mount. Mark both edges of each stud to help identify the exact center.
NOTE: You must use the center of each stud to avoid cracking or splitting the wood during installation.
-
Place the base of the mount against the wall over the marked studs. Use the included bubble level (B) to make sure the base is level and mark where the four mounting screws will go.
-
Drill 4.5 mm (3/16”) pilot holes in the wall 2.2” deep.
-
Place the base against the wall over the pilot holes.
-
Attach the wall mount base and arm to the wall using four of the mounting screws (W-A) and mounting washers (W-C) provided. Do not over-tighten these screws and do not release the wall plate until all screws are in place. Ensure that the wall mount base remains level after all screws are secured.
Installation on concrete
IMPORTANT! For safety reasons, the concrete wall must be capable of supporting the combined weight of the mount and the display. The manufacturer takes no responsibility for failure caused by walls of insufficient strength.
-
Place the base of the mount against the wall where you want to install it. Use the included bubble level (B) to make sure the base is level and mark where the four mounting screws will go.
-
Drill four 10 mm (3/8”) holes in the wall where you marked, 2.4” deep. Remove any excess dust from the hole.
-
Insert a concrete anchor (W-B) into each hole so that it is flush with the concrete surface. A hammer can be used to lightly tap the anchors into place if necessary.
NOTE: If the concrete wall is covered by a layer of plaster or drywall, the concrete anchor must pass completely through the layer to rest flush with the concrete surface. -
Place the wall plate against the wall over the inserted anchors and attach it using the mounting screws (W-A) and mounting washers (W-C) provided. Do not over-tighten these screws and do not release the wall plate until all screws are in place. Ensure that the wall plate remains level after the screws are secured.
Place your TV on the mount
-
Use the Allen wrench (C) to loosen the tilt adjustment bolts on each mount arm. Extend each tilt mechanism all the way from the TV. Then use the Allen wrench to tighten the bolts again.
-
With the help of another person, carefully lift your TV with mounting arms attached and place it on the wall plate. Do not release the display until the mounting arms have securely hooked onto the wall plate.
-
Pull down on the locking mechanism for each arm so that the mount arms can lock into place on the mount base. (You might need to gently push the bottom of the TV.)
-
Release the locking mechanism to lock the arms lock to the base.
Adjust the tilt of your TV
To adjust the tilt: Use the included Allen wrench (C) to loosen the tilt
adjustment bolts on each arm. Tilt your TV to the desired angle. Use the Allen
wrench to tighten the bolts and secure the TV at the desired angle.
To remove your TV from the wall mount: Pull down on the locking mechanism
for each arm. Gently pull the bottom of the TV out from the mount base. Then
with the help of another person, carefully lift your TV off the mount base.
