The XSM1U/XTM1U mounts are designed to be mounted to:
•
a bare concrete wall with a minimum thickness of 8"
(203mm);
•
a bare 8" x 8" x 16" (203mm x 203mm x 406mm)
concrete block wall; or
•
wood studs spaced 16" or 24" (610mm) on center with

WARNING:
IMPROPER INSTALLATION CAN LEAD TO
MOUNT FALLING CAUSING SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY

weight of all components located on the mount, not to exceed
250 lbs (113.4 kg).

Installing to a Wood Stud Wall
CAUTION:
MINIMUM HORIZONTAL DISTANCE
BETWEEN WALL BRACKETS IS 24" (609.6mm). Do not
place mounting brackets closer together than 24" (609.6mm).
When attaching to a wall containing studs located 16" on
center, space the uprights 32" (812.8mm) apart.
1.
Determine the center of the TV screen, and where it should
be located on the wall.
2.
Locate the closest stud to the left and right of the selected
location.
NOTE:
If the screen area lies over a stud, use that stud and the
stud to either the left or right of it.
3.
Line up the notches on mount (Z) with center of screen
marking to determine vertical center. (See Figure 1)
4.
Measure up 8" (203.2mm) from the center point to mark
location of the upper mounting slots.
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 (J) into
pilot holes but do not tighten to wall.
Figure 1
8.
Hang mount (Z), aligning upper mounting slots over lag
bolts and adjust side-to-side for proper location.
9.
Place one slotted washer (L) over each flanged lag bolt.
(See Figure 2)
