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. For displays heavier than 50 kg (110 lbs), three studs are recommended. 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 or
more 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 or six locations (two per stud) for securing the mount to the wall (see Fig.1).
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 (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.
