Mounting the wall plate

Drywall Installation

Important! For safety reasons, this mount must be secured to a wood stud capable of supporting the

combined weight of the mount and display. Do not mount to drywall alone.

1. Use a high quality stud fi nder to locate a stud where

you wish to install your mount. Mark both edges of
the stud to help identify the exact center.

NOTE: You must use the center of the stud

to avoid cracking or splitting the wood during
installation.

5. Place the wall plate back against the wall and

attach it using the lag bolts (A) and lag bolt
washers (B) (see Fig. 2). 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.

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 two locations (top and bottom) for
securing the mount to the wall. (see Fig.1).

4. Set the wall plate aside and drill a 6 mm (1/4”)

pilot hole at each marked location.

Fig.1 Fig.2

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 three
locations on the
wall for securing the
mount. Mark two
locations at the top of
the wall plate and one
location at the bottom
of the wall plate (see
Fig. 3).

Fig.3

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 (C) into each
hole so that it is fl ush
with the concrete
surface (see Fig. 4). A
hammer can be used to
lightly tap the anchors
into place if necessary.

NOTE: If the concrete wall is covered by a layer

of plaster or drywall, the concrete anchor must
pass completely through the layer to rest fl ush
with the concrete surface.

5. Place the wall plate back against the wall and attach it using the

lag bolts (A) and lag bolt washers (B) provided (see Fig. 5). 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.
