a spacer. TVs with curved backs or recessed inserts
may require a longer screw with a spacer between
the TV and adjustment bars. Smaller M4, M5 or M6
screws require a square washer (supplied) between
the adjustment bar and each screw.
Locate the threaded inserts on your TV’s back panel. 1)
Thread a screw from the set into one of the inserts
to ensure it is the correct choice.
Thread screws through the adjustment bars into the 2)
TV inserts with the appropriate spacer and washer set,
