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.

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.
