Mounting the wall plate
Drywall Installation
Important! For safety reasons, this mount must be secured to at least two wood studs no less than 16” apart.
The studs must be capable of supporting the combined weight of the mount and display.
1. Use a high quality stud fi nder to locate two adjacent
studs where you wish to install your mount. Mark
both edges of each stud to help identify the exact
center.
NOTE: You must use the center of each stud
to avoid cracking or splitting the wood during
installation.
2. Place the wall plate against the wall and level it
using the integrated bubble level.
3. While another person holds the wall plate in
position, mark four locations (two per stud) for
securing the mount to the wall.
4. Set the wall plate aside and drill a 3/16” pilot hole at
each marked location.
5. Place the wall plate back against the wall and
attach it using the lag bolts (F) and lag bolt washers
(H) (see Fig. 1). Do not over-tighten these bolts
and do not release the wall plate until all bolts
are in place. Ensure that the wall plate remains
level after all bolts are secured.
Fig.1
Concrete/Brick Installation
IMPORTANT! For safety reasons, the concrete wall must be capable of supporting the combined weight of
the mount and the display. The manufacturer takes no responsibility for failure caused by walls of insuffi cient
strength.
1. Place the wall plate against the wall in the desired
location and level it using the integrated bubble
level.
2. While another person holds the wall plate in place,
mark six evenly spaced locations on the wall for
securing the mount.
3. Set the wall plate aside and drill a 10 mm (3/8”) hole
at each marked location. Remove any excess dust
from the holes.

4. Insert a Concrete Anchor (G) into each hole so
that it is fl ush with the concrete surface. A hammer
can be used to lightly tap the anchors into place if
necessary.
5. Place the wall plate back against the wall and
attach it using the lag bolts (F) and lag bolt washers
(H). Do not over-tighten these bolts and do not
release the wall plate until all bolts are in place.
Ensure that the wall plate remains level after all bolts
are secured.
Attaching the Arms to the TV
IMPORTANT! Use extra
care during this part of the
installation. If possible, avoid
placing your display facedown
as it may damage the viewing
surface.
NOTE: This mount comes
with a selection of different
screw diameters and lengths
to accommodate a wide
variety of display models. Not
all of the hardware in the kit
will be used.
Fig.2
1. Determine the correct length of screw to use by
examining the back of your display:
A. If the back of your display is fl at and the
mounting holes are fl ush with the surface, you
will use the shorter screws (A or C) from the
hardware kit.
B. If the back of your display is curved, has
a protrusion, or if the mounting holes are
recessed, you will need to use the longer screws
(B or D) and spacers (E).
Final Installation
1. With the help of another person, carefully lift your
display and place it on the wall plate. Do not
release the display until the mount arms have
securely hooked onto the wall plate.
Fig.4
2. Determine the correct diameter of screw to use by
carefully trying one of each size (M4 and M6) from
the hardware kit. Do not force any of the screws
– if you feel resistance stop immediately and try a
smaller diameter screw.
3. Attach the mount arms to the back of your display
using the M6 washers (I) and the screws identifi ed
in Steps 1 and 2 (see Fig.3)
If you are using the longer screws on a display with
a curved or recessed back, you will also need to use
the spacers (E). You should only use a spacer if
necessary.
Make sure the screws are snug, but do not
overtighten.
For displays with
flat backs.
For displays with curved or
recessed backs.

2. Insert the safety bar
at the bottom of the
mount to prevent the
display from being
lifted from the wall
plate. A padlock can
be inserted into the
end of the bar to help
prevent theft of your
display (see Fig.5).
IMPORTANT! The safety bar must be used at all
times to prevent the display from being accidentally
knocked from the mount.

Periodically clean your mount with a dry cloth. Inspect all screws and hardware at regular intervals to ensure
that no connections have become loose over time. Re-tighten as necessary.
