diagram and guide of how to mount
properly on the wall.

Using a stud finder, locate and mark the
stud for securing the mount (make sure
your mark is in the center of the stud).
You can use your own stud finder or the
one included in the hardware kit.

Note
Once stud has been located you will need to
verify with a hammer and a nail
A) Simply place the nail over your mark on
the wall and tap in with hammer. If the
nail encounters resistance and is secure
in wall you have verified a stud location
B) If it just pushes through with no
resistance you will need to start over
and locate the stud.

Using the enclosed mounting template,
place the diagram against the wall and
mark two locations (top and bottom)
on the wall where the mount is to be
Installed. Be sure to use the center of
the stud.

With the help of another person, place
the mount against the wall and level it
using the bubble guide.

While another person holds the mount
in place, mark two locations (top and
bottom) on the wall where the mount is
to be installed. Be sure to use the center
of the stud. (these marks should line up
with the ones made in step 3 above using
the template).

Set the mount aside and drill a 1/8”
(3 mm) pilot hole at each marked
location.
7
Place the mount back against the wall
and secure it using the wood screws (A)
provided. Do not over-tighten these
screws and do not release the mount
until all screws are in place.

Once both wood screws are in place you
must tighten each one. (note: be sure not
to over tighten). 1
