Adjusting the Counterbalance
The Mount comes out of the box set around the 65 LB TV setting and will
need to be adjusted for the mount to work properly with your television. To
adjust the counterbalance, turn the bottom of the counterbalance screw with a
9/16” box or ratcheting wrench, see Figure 16. This moves the
Counterbalance Block up and down. The approximate counterbalance block
settings for various television weights are shown in Figure 15. In Figure 15 the
counterbalance is approximately set for a 65 Pound Television.
To be able to move the mount without a TV on it, you need to move the
Counterbalance Block to the Minimum Counterbalance Force. At this setting it
will still take 15 to 20 pounds of effort to move the mount which is harder than
you think. You should secure it to something to get the mount to move. Once
you put a TV on the mount, everything will work much better.

Bump Stop
To help prevent the mount from over traveling, there is an
adjustable Bump Stop on the mount. The Bump Stop is not
made to hold any load, the counterbalance should be set to
hold the load when in contact with the Bump Stop. To test this
just lift the TV up a little above the Bump Stop and make sure
the mount stays in position.
To Tighten and loosen, hold the Screw with a Screwdriver
still, and use a 7/16” Wrench to turn the nut. When turning the
nut, clockwise is to tighten. Adjust both of the Bump Stops on
each side for best performance.
