BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Large Flat Panel

Dual Arm Wall Mount,

Model PDR™

The PDR is wall-mounted, rugged, versatile, and
installer-friendly. The PDR has vertical, lateral and
rotational tilt tension adjustments. A plasma screen can
be mounted in either the landscape or portrait position on
the PDR.

The dual arms on the PDR:

Extend from the wall 37” in length

Pivot up to 90º left or right of center

The standard PDR is shipped with the support posts for
the dual arms centered in the mount. The support posts
can be moved right or left of center to readily
accommodate sites with limited wall space. The mount
also has two inches of height adjustment and pitch
adjustment that spans 5º up and 15º down.

The PDR was designed for fast installation. After drawing
the plumb line and installing the two top lag bolts into the
dual wall studs, the installer hangs the PDR on its top
bracket and installs two lag bolts in the bottom bracket.
Next, the installer makes the height adjustment, installs
the plasma screen, and routes the power/audio/video
cables down the built-in path in the swing-out arms,
completing the installation process.

CAUTION:

To prevent damage to the PDR, which could affect or void the Factory warranty, and to the equipment

that will be attached to it, thoroughly study all instructions and illustrations before you begin the installation.  Pay
particular attention to the “Important Warnings and Cautions” on Page 2.

The combined weight of the components installed on the PDR must not exceed 200 lbs. (90.72kg).

The PDR wall mount must be installed on dual wall studs or supporting framework. The wall to which the PDR
is anchored must be capable of supporting five times the total weight of the mount and all attached equipment.

If you have any questions about this installation, contact Chief Manufacturing at 1-800-582-6480.
