that is able to hold five times the combined weight of
all equipment. If you are unsure about your structure,
a contractor must evaluate your installation.
!
WARNING!
Exceeding the weight capacity can result in
serious personal injury or damage to equipment!
The combined weight of all components must not
exceed 125 lbs (57 kg).
!
CAUTION:
This product is intended to be installed by
professional installation contractors, or persons
familiar with the tools and methods required for
this installation. If you are not sure about your
ability to perform this installation, you must
contact a professional. MantelMount is not
responsible for damage or injury caused by
incorrect installation or improper use.

IMPORTANT:
MantelMount has three different adjustments
that must be made after the installation is
complete in order to operate properly.
The side-to-side swivel stops are
adjusted with two screws with
locknuts so that the TV does not
swivel into the mantel.
Tilt is removed with two screws on
each side of the swivel mechanism.
The TV should always be
vertically parallel to the wall
The bottom travel stop is adjusted
with two screws and locknuts so
the TV and mount do not lower all
the way into the mantel.

Please verify that your installation meets all of these CRITICAL requirements:
MantelMount is designed for use only with decorative
fireplaces that are not the primary heat source for a
AB
house. Temperature at the front edge of mantle should
never exceed 110° F.
110°F
MAX.
Mantle must not extend from mounting surface
more than 19 inches (22 inches for non-recessed
C
installations). MantelMount can not extend past a mantel
larger than 19 inches. Larger mantels will also reduce the
amount of side-to-side swivel.
D
Wall must be WOOD STUD FRAME only. There must be at
least 2 studs available for mounting. Wall covering must
not exceed 5/8 inch thick.
For other types of walls or other types of installations
please visit the FAQ section at www.MantelMount.com.

TELEVISION REQUIREMENTS:
1. Weight must be below 125 pounds (56 Kg).

is a flat back or an irregular back. An irregular back will
require spacers and longer screws to fill any spaces
between the Vertical Brace and the TV.
The Braces must be parallel to your television screen.
Choose the correct screw diameter and length for the TV.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: The Vertical Braces {27} are a
fixed distance (8 inches) higher than the bottom of the Lift
Housing {30}. Always mount the Vertical Braces at least 8
inches up from the bottom of the TV so that the TV will hide
the mount when it’s in the UP position.
If you want to locate the TV at a specific height, you can use
this relationship to calculate the exact location for the Lift
Housing {30} on the wall. Simply subtract 8 inches from the
distance you end up with when you attach everything to the
TV - including a sound bar if one is attached.
EXAMPLE: If the Vertical Braces {27} are 10 inches above
the bottom of the TV, then the edge of the Lift Housing {30}
will be: (10 - 8 =) 2 inches higher on the wall than the TV.

The Vertical Braces {27} are always mounted higher than
56
the bottom of the TV. However, the Brace Extenders {28}
will be mounted one of two ways:
Attach the Vertical Braces {27} to the TV so the bottoms of
the Vertical Braces are at least eight inches higher than the
bottom of the TV (so that the TV hides the mount housing).
Without a Sound Bar, if needed - The Brace Extenders
are installed slightly above the bottom of the TV. Use the
Extenders for holes that are low on the TV.
With a Sound Bar - The Brace Extenders are installed
below the TV with enough room to install the Sound Bar
onto the Horizontal Brace {29}.

then the Brace Extenders {28} do not need to be installed.

Attach the TV Horizontal Brace {29} with Screws {18} if a

soundbar is used. Each Extender {28} must be slid on
from the outer ends because there are thread inserts
blocking the center of the Brace.
Attach the Extenders to the Vertical Braces using
Screws {19} and Nuts {16}. Soundbar Wings {59} are
optional.

This image at right shows that the further out a mantle extends, the more it will
interfere with the arc of the lowering TV. The chart below gives clearance heights
from the bottom of the TV to the top of various mantel sizes.
However, the MM860 Lift Housing {30} is often located even higher on the wall
than the TV. To locate the TV so it has enough clearance and doesn’t hit the
mantel, you will need to know how much higher the Housing is than the bottom of
the TV. Then you can locate the Housing on the wall.
NOTE: If there is extra space available, due to a high ceiling for example, then
these heights are only minimum requirements.

CAUTION:
MantelMount MM860 comes with an RF Remote Control. This Remote does not need to be pointing
at the mount in order to control the mount; in fact, the Remote will send commands to the mount
even from other rooms in the house. It is very important to operate the Remote only when the
mount is in sight. Otherwise, always store the Remote in a safe place away from children.

To pair the Remote, follow these steps:
Lay MantelMount on a flat, stable surface. Press and hold
the DOWN button on the Remote until the arm is
perpendicular to the Housing. Operate the LEFT and RIGHT

OPTIONAL:
Auto Lowering Power Sensor (ALPS):
This unique MantelMount feature will allow the mount to lower
to the the Memory 1 position whenever the TV is turned on,
and return home when the TV is turned off. The mount will do
this automatically without needing to use the Remote Control.
If the TV is plugged into the socket located onboard the MM860
instead of a wall outlet, MantelMount can monitor the power to
the TV and determine when it is turned on or off.
If this feature is not desired, simply plug the TV into a wall
outlet and operate the MM860 with the Remote Control.
See STEP 27:
ALPS Socket for TV
OPTIONAL:
Hard Wire Conduit Access:
MM860 has a rear access hole that accepts threaded fittings for
standard 1/2" aluminum conduit. A licensed electrician can
hard wire the mount by splicing into the power cord.
Contact MantelMount for more information.
OPTIONAL:
MM860 includes brackets that make it easier to install horizontal 2x4 bracing inside the
wall. This is because all the attachment holes in the brackets can be reached for drilling
and screwing through the opening that is cut for the Lift Housing {30}, see FIG. A.
Notes: If the bracket is near the cutout opening, make sure to orient the attaching
hardware away from the opening so they do not interfere with the Housing. This
hardware is attached before the braces are installed into the wall, see FIG. B.
When cutting a center stud, measure 1.5" above and below the template mark before
the opening is cut out. Plunge cut through the stud at both locations and attach the cut
ends to the cross braces when they are installed, see FIG. C.

Installation Options:
SURFACE MOUNT (non-recessed) installation using the
Horizontal Braces {31} to attach to existing wall studs:
The Horizontal Braces can reach studs that are up to
34 inches (875mm) apart. They attach flush to the back of the
Lift Housing {30}.
!
CAUTION:
Do Not overtighten Lag Bolts {13}. Tighten only until the
washers are firmly against the wall plate. Damage due to
overtightening can cause property damage or injury.
{20}{17}
SURFACE MOUNT (non-recessed) installation onto stone or
concrete walls using the six holes in the back of the Recess
Frame {30}. The lower Access Cover {32} must be removed to
access the lower holes.
The wall must be solid stone or concrete that can hold five times
the weight of all combined equipment. This surface must not be a
facade or non-structural material.
Use concrete anchors (not included) to attach mount to surface.
{32}
{13}{11}
RECESSED installation using the Horizontal Braces {31} to
attach to existing wall studs:
The Horizontal Braces attach to the flange on the front of the
Lift Housing {30}. Use the included Template to mark the
location to cut the drywall. This installation is easiest when
there is no center stud that needs to be cut to make room.
{20}{17}
Concrete Anchoring Hardware
Not Included
RECESSED installation using the included 2x4 Stud Brackets {53}.
When studs are far apart, when a center stud needs to be cut, or
when the cleanest look is desired, sections of horizontal 2x4 can
be installed through the cutout. They provide a solid structure for
the mount without the need for the Horizontal Braces. The mount
is attached with Lag Bolts through the holes in the front flange of
the Lift Housing {30}. Any studs that were cut can be reattached
to the new sections of 2x4.
