Safety precautions

If you are unsure of any part of the process, contact
a professional contractor or installer for assistance.
Improper installation can result in injury or damage.

supporting the combined weight of the mount and
the display; if not, the structure must be reinforced.

to do so can result in injury and/or damage. A
minimum of two people are required for installation.

circumstances.

4. Follow all instructions and recommendations

regarding adequate ventilation and suitable
locations for mounting your display. Consult the
owner‘s manual for your particular display for more

(Use a stud fi nder.)

6. Use the included hardware for mounting purposes.

This hardware has been provided to ensure a safe
and secure mount.

7. Hire a licensed electrician to relocate an electrical

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.
