WARNING:
IMPROPER INSTALLATION CAN LEAD TO
MOUNT FALLING CAUSING SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY
OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT! It is the installers responsibility
to make certain the structure to which the mount is being
attached is capable of supporting five times the combined
weight of all components located on the mount, not to exceed
125 lbs (56.7 kg) for mounting to a single 2" x 4" wood stud; OR
200 lbs (90.7 kg) for mounting to dual 2" x 4" wood studs or
concrete.
NOTE:
Proceed to either the
Installing to a Wood Stud Wall

Installing to a Wood Stud Wall
1.
Determine the center of the TV screen, and where it should
be located on the wall.
WARNING:
The MTMP1U is designed to be mounted to
either one or two 2" x 4" wood studs (16" on center).
2.
Locate the closest studs to the left and right of the selected
location.
3.
Line up the notches on mount (Z) with center of screen
marking to determine vertical center. (See Figure 1)
Figure 1
4.
Measure up 8" (203.2mm) from the center point to mark
location of the upper mounting slots. (See Figure 1)
5.
Using a level, mark the wall on each stud to attach the
mount through the upper mounting slots. (See Figure 2)
6.
Drill one 7/32" (5.5mm) pilot hole in each stud.
7.
Partially install two 5/16 x 2-1/2" flanged lag bolts (N) into
pilot holes but do not tighten to wall.
8.
Hang mount (Z), aligning upper mounting slots over lag
bolts and adjust side-to-side for proper location.
9.
Place one slotted washer (Q) over each flanged lag bolt.
(See Figure 2)
10. Tighten lag bolts to secure mount (Z) to wall at upper
mounting slots.
Figure 2
11. Mark the attachment points for the lower mounting slots,
making sure the attachment points are located on the studs.
(See Figure 10)
12. Drill 7/32" (5.5mm) pilot holes at markings for lower
mounting holes. (See Figure 10)
13. Use two 5/16 x 2-1/2" flanged lag bolts (N) and two 5/16"
slotted washers (Q) to attach the mount to the wall through
the lower mounting holes. (See Figure 10)
