Warnings
Do not begin installation until you have thoroughly read and understood these instructions. Failure to comply with these
instructions could result in damage to the product, or serious injury, or death. The manufacturer does not accept responsibility for
incorrect installation.
Do not install if any parts are missing or defective. Do not attempt to replace with unapproved parts or materials or install
without all required parts.
Ensure the ceiling will safely support the combined weight of the mount and your chosen display. TV display should be removed
from mount in situations of high wind exceeding 97 kph (60 mph). Inspect all fasteners and the mounting plate’s attachment to
the ceiling for signs of loosening or damage after any strong wind event, and at least once annually. Tighten any loose fasteners.
If any damage is observed, remove the mount from service.
Installation
Warning:
These ceiling mounts are designed for a maximum weight of 175 lbs / 79.5 kg.
Caution:
Overtightening can damage the bolts and reduce their holding strength.
Mount the Ceiling Plate
Place the ceiling plate on the mounting surface and mark the
mounting hole locations.
Wood Joist
Drill a minimum of two holes into the joist using a 3/16" drill
bit. Be sure to drill into the center of the joists. Ensure the
plasterboard (if any) is no more than 1/2" thick.
Insert lag screws (A) with washers (B) through the ceiling plate
and tighten.
Concrete Ceiling
Caution:
The ceiling must be solid concrete or concrete block. Verify the concrete is at least 1-3/8"
thick and 2000 psi density minimum. Concrete block must meet ASTM C-90 specifications.
Drill in a solid part of the block, 1" minimum from each side. Do not drill into mortar joints.
Caution:
Use a standard electric drill on slow setting. Do not use a hammer drill to avoid breaking
out the back of the hole when entering a void or cavity.
Concrete anchors not provided. We recommend an outdoor-
rated 5/16" × 2 1/2" wedge or sleeve anchor for concrete.
Drill four holes into concrete using a 5/16" masonry bit. Insert
hex sleeve anchors, per instructions included with the anchors.
Remove washer and nut from the ends of all four anchors.
Align ceiling plate over the four concrete anchors.
Re-install washers and nuts onto the anchors and tighten until
secure, per instructions included with the anchors.
