When you have prepared the holes for

mounting the wall mount, screw two of the

Lag Bolts (T) three-quarters of the way into

the holes. Leave enough room so you can slip

the Wall Mount (WM) over the screws.

Install the wall mount as shown

without tightening the screws

completely.

After the wall mount is on the

wall, you can install the top lag

bolt. First, use a level to make sure

the mount is vertically level.

Using a drill and the 5/32" (or

4mm) size drill bit, drill a third

hole 2.5" (64mm) deep through

the

securing hole

(see Figure 7),

and then insert the final Lag Bolt (T).

Leave some “wiggle” room so you can make any fine adjustments, if necessary. After making

sure the wall mount is level, tighten all of the lag bolts completely.

Tighten mounting screws so that the wall plate is firmly attached to the wall, but don’t

overtighten! The mounting screws and/or the supporting surface can become damaged,

which greatly reduces their holding ability. Final tightening of the mounting screws should

always be done by hand, with a Phillips-head screwdriver or ratchet wrench.

When mounting to a wood stud

Line up the Installation Template (IT) with the stud markings to ensure the proper location

for your drill holes. After you have the position selected, tape the template in place securely

on the wall with masking tape so that you don’t damage the wall surface. Use a level to

double check that the screw holes will line up vertically as shown in Figure 8. Drill two holes

2.5" (64mm) deep using a 5/32" (or 4mm) size drill bit in the “a” and “b” locations noted on

the Installation Template.
