Use a Vertical Brace {27} to determine if your television
is a flat back or an irregular back. An irregular back will
require spacers and longer screws to fill any spaces
between the Vertical Brace and the TV.
The Braces must be parallel to your television screen.
Choose the correct screw diameter and length for the TV.
Hand-thread screw combination into the TV to ensure
there is adequate thread engagement without hitting the
bottom of threaded insert. Use only minimum amount of
spacers (if required).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: The Vertical Braces {27} are
a fixed distance higher than the bottom of the Lift Housing
Frame {30}. This relationship can be used to calculate
most mounting situations such as centering the TV in an
alcove or mounting the TV at a specific height on the wall.
If you measure the distance from the
bottom of your TV (or Sound Bar) to the
bottom of the Vertical Braces {27} (see:
Page 5) you will automatically know the
distance from the bottom of your TV to the
bottom of the Lift Housing {30}.
You can use this information to install the
Lift Housing on the wall in order to locate
your TV to any specific height you desire.
Example: If the Vertical Braces are
attached 10 inches from the bottom of the
TV, then the bottom of the cutout opening
should be 4 inches higher than where you
want the bottom edge of the TV on the
wall (10” - 6” = 4”).
If you are installing above a mantel, then
your installation must still have the
additional clearance for downward motion
stated in the chart in Step 9
