Mounting the Wall Plate
Drywall Installation
Important!
This mount must be secured to at least
two adjacent wood studs no less than 16” apart. If your
display weighs more than 50 kg (110 lbs), the mount
must be secured to three studs using all six lag bolts
provided.
1.
Measure the distance between the mounting holes on
the back of your display using a measuring tape.
Important!
Unplug your flat panel TV
before starting this step of
the installation.
Use extra care during this
part of the installation.
Avoid laying your display
face down if possible as it
may damage the viewing
surface.
NEVER lay the TV face
down as this may cause
damage to the viewing
surface.
Attaching the Arms to
the Display
1.
With the help of another person, carefully lift your
display and place it on the wall plate (Fig. 7). To avoid
damage to the wall, allow the tilt legs to come into
contact with the wall slowly. Do not release the display
until the mounting arms have securely hooked onto the
crossbars!
2.
Move the safety tab located on each arm into position
to avoid having the display accidentally lifted from the
mount. A padlock can be inserted into one of the tabs
to help prevent theft of your display (Fig. 7).

2.
Determine the correct diameter bolt to use by trying
one bolt each from Bags 1 - 4 of the hardware kit. Do
not force any of the bolts – if you feel resistance stop
immediately to avoid damaging your display.
3.
Expand the mount arms so that they will reach both
the top and bottom mounting holes on your display.
Only expand the arms far enough to reach the holes.
4.
Attach the arms to the back of your display using the
bolts identified in Steps 1 and 2 and the corresponding
Lock Washer (C, F, I, or L) (Fig. 5) You will need to use
the M6 Washers (O) if you are using the M4, M5, or M6
bolts. If your display has a curved or recessed back, you
may also need to use a Spacer (M or N). Make sure all
screws are snug, but do not over-tighten.
1.
Examine the back of your television. If the back of your
display is flat, you will be using one of the shorter bolts
from the hardware kit. If the back of your display is
curved or recessed, you will be using one of the longer
bolts and a spacer (Fig. 5).
Fig. 6 - Set the tilt angle.
5.
Set the tilt angle by
adjusting the foot located
on the bottom of each
arm (Fig. 6). When the
foot is fully extended, the
tilt is approximately 0
degrees. Make sure both
feet are set to the same
angle.
Fig. 7 - A small padlock
can be used to help
prevent theft of your
display (padlock not
included).
3.
The cable manager can be used to keep your power
cord and other cables in order.
4.
To change the tilt position, have one person carefully
pull the bottom of the display away from the wall.
Have a second person adjust the feet on the bottom
of each mounting arm to the desired position (Fig. 6).
Once finished, carefully lower the display back against
the wall.
