Part 1 A – MOUNTING TO WALL (DRYWALL)

IMPORTANT! The mount MUST be secured to a wood stud capable of supporting the combined weight of the mount and TV.

Use a high-quality stud finder to locate the stud on the wall where you wish to install your mount. Mark both edges of the stud to help locate the exact centre. (Fig. 1)

NOTE: Use the centre of each stud to prevent cracking or splitting the wood.
Place the mount against the wall over the marked stud with the arrow on the mount pointing up. Make sure it is level.
While another person holds the mount in place, mark three locations for securing the mount to the wall.
Set the mount aside and drill a 1 /8″ pilot hole at each marked location. (Fig. 2)
Attach the mount to the wall with the arrow pointing up using the screws (A) provided (Fig. 3). DO NOT release the mount until all bolts are secure. Ensure that the mount remains level.

Set the mount aside and drill a 5/16″ hole al each marked location. Remove any excess dust from the holes. (Fig. 5 )
Insert a concrete anchor (B) into each hole so that it is flush with that concrete surface. A hammer can be used to lightly tap the anchors into place if necessary.

Determine the correct length of screw to use by examining the back of your TV:
• If the back is flat and the mounting holes are flush with the surface, you will use the shorter screws (C, E or H)
• If the back is curved, has a protrusion or if the mounting holes are recessed, you will need to use the longer screws (D, For I) and may also need to use the spacers (J)
Determine the correct diameter of the screw by carefully trying one of each size from the hardware kit. DO NOT force any of the screws. If you feel resistance, STOP IMMEDIATELY and try a smaller diameter screw.
Attach the mount lo the back of your TV using the screws identified in steps 1 and 2 long with the M6 washers (G). If you are using the longer screws on a display with a curved or recessed back, you may also need lo use spacers (J). Only use a spacer if necessary.
