Install the Storm Shell Back onto the wall
Two people are needed for this installation.
A)
Wood Stud Installation
1.
Use a high quality electronic stud finder (commercially available) to locate dead center of four
adjacent wood studs spaced 16” apart. Mark the location of each stud (Figure
9). If a
different placement of the 55” Storm Shell is required to center the TV
in a particular space, or if
the wall studs are built at 20” spacing, then an Adapter Mounting Plate will be required. Please
consult Item “55 Storm Shell Adapter Mounting Plate”, as shown on StormshellTV.com/Products.
Figure 9
2.
Determine the height location for the top of the TV mounting display. Mark this height on the
center of the mounting stud positioned furthest to the right. Drill a hole into the stud at this
location using a
1 8
⁄
” drill bit 1.5 inches deep. Screw one of the S
8 screws into this location,
leaving the head about
1 8
⁄
” away from the wall. Note: if the TV display is smaller than the
55
”
Storm Shell (for example, a 49
” display), you may need to adjust the location of this mounting
screw. This mounting screw will be placed in the top right keyhole of the Storm Shell Back
