Mount Installation

Step 1

Determine where the mount lo­cation will be. Use a stud finder
to locate the nearest wall stud.

For ease of installation, it is recommended that two people perform the installation. One person should hold the
mount while the other person installs the lag bolt and washer. Making sure that the mount is level, the person not
holding the mount must mark and drill the second mounting hole and secure the second lag bolt and washer.

Step 2 Step 3

Once the stud has been located, use a pencil
to mark the spot.

Using a 1/4” drill bit, drill the upper mount­ing hole where the mark was made.

Step 4

After the holes have been pre-drilled,
line up the mounting slot openings
with the pre-drilled holes.

Do NOT over-tighten lag bolts when attaching the mount to the wall. Improper installation may result in personal
injury or damage to property.

If the studs are 12” (304.8mm) apart, use three (3) 3” (76.2mm) lag bolts for the top rail and three (3) 3” (76.2mm)
lag bolts for the lower rail. If the studs are 16”(406.4mm), 18” (457.2mm) or 24” (609.6mm) apart, use two (2) 3”
lag bolts for the top rail and two (2) 3” lag bolts for the lower rail.

Step 5

Insert two (2) 5/16” x 3” lag bolts
and washers into the mounting holes
and tighten (see WARNING: below

Place a level (supplied) on the top
rail and make sure that the mount is
level. Once the mount is level, Drill
pilot holes in the lower mounting
slots and install two (2) 5/16” x 3”
lag bolts and washers into the mount­ing holes and tighten.

Concrete Mounting

RFM

1. Begin by placing the mount into position against the wall, keeping it level.

2. Mark off four holes to be used for securing the mount.

3. Next, drill holes using a masonry bit for your anchors (recommended masonry bit).

4. Insert a commercially available concrete anchor into each hole (recommended 3/8” wedge anchors).

5. If necessary, a hammer can be used to lightly tap each anchor into place so that they are flush with the wall.

6. Once all of the anchors are in place, move the wall bracket into position.

7. Attach the nut onto the threaded shaft that is protruding from the wall.

8. Do not tighten until all nuts are in place.

Concrete anchors must be used for concrete installation. They can be purchased at your local hardware store. The
mounting surface must be a minimum 6” thick.

Universal Mounting Bracket Assembly

1. Place the universal bracket bar and the universal brackets on a flat surface.

2. Slide the universal brackets onto the universal bracket bar (as shown below) with the set screws facing up. At this
time, do not tighten the set screws that are located on the universal bracket.

3. Place the display on a soft, flat surface, face-down. Next, place the universal bracket assembly on the back of the
display, with the universal brackets resting directly over the display mounting points.

4. Once the desired position has been determined, place the Griplate™ washers over each mounting point and secure
them using the appropriate hardware (see Page 5).

5. At this time, center the universal bracket bar and tighten the set screws that are located on the universal brackets.

For the two upper mounting points, the Griplate™ flat side must be facing up. For the two lower mounting points, the
Griplate™ flat side must be facing down.
