NOTE: Selecting the ‘side-mount’ Spine location for the Swiveling
Brackets will position television close to rear of cabinet, but can
limit left-to-right swiveling. Selecting the ‘front-mount’ Spine
location will position television approx 1.5” closer to cabinet front
and will enable maximum left-to-right swiveling range.
