Part 2 – Attaching the Arms to the Display

(continued from previous page)

2. Determine the correct diameter bolt to use by trying one bolt each from Bags 1 - 4 of the hardware kit. Do not force any of the bolts – if you feel resistance stop immediately to avoid damaging your display.

3. Expand the mount arms so that they will reach both the top and bottom mounting holes on your display. Only expand the arms far enough to reach the holes.

4. Attach the arms to the back of your display using the bolts identied in Steps 1 and 2 and the corresponding Lock Washer (C, F, I, or L) (Fig. 5, previous page) You will need to use the M6 Washers (O) if you are using the M4, M5, or M6 bolts. If your display has a curved or recessed back, you may also need to use a Spacer (M or N). Make sure all screws are snug, but do not over-tighten.

5. Set the tilt angle by adjusting the foot located on the bottom of each arm (Fig. 6). When the foot is fully extended, the tilt is approximately 0 degrees. Make sure both feet are set to the same angle.

Part 3 – Final Installation and Adjustment

1. With the help of another person, carefully lift your display and place it on the wall plate (Fig. 7). To avoid damage to the wall, allow the tilt legs to come into contact with the wall slowly. Do not release the display until the mounting arms have securely hooked onto the crossbars!

2. Move the safety tab located on each arm into position to avoid having the display accidentally lifted from the mount. A padlock can be inserted into one of the tabs to help prevent theft of your display (Fig. 8).

3. The cable manager can be used to keep your power cord and other cables in order.

4. To change the tilt position, have one person carefully pull the bottom of the display away from the wall. Have a second person adjust the feet on the bottom of each mounting arm to the desired position (Fig. 6). Once nished, carefully lower the display back against the wall.

Warnings

1. Make sure these instructions are read and completely understood before attempting installation. If you are unsure of any part of this installation, contact a professional installer for assistance.

2. The wall or mounting surface must be capable of supporting the combined weight of the wall mount and the display; otherwise the structure must be reinforced.

3. Protective eye wear and proper tools must be used. A minimum of two people are required for this installation. Failure to use safety gear and/or attempting this installation alone can result in property damage, serious injury, or death.

Part 1a – Mounting the Wall Plate (Drywall)

Important! This mount must be secured to at least two adjacent wood studs no less than 16” apart. If your display weighs more than 50 kg (110 lbs), the mount must be secured to three studs using all six lag bolts provided.

1. Measure the distance between the mounting holes on the back of your display using a measuring tape.

2. Using the measurement, expand the wall plate of the mount (Fig. 1) enough so that both mounting arms can t over the crossbar when they are attached to the display (Fig. 4, next page). Be careful not to extend the mount wider than the display.

3. Using a stud nder, locate and mark two or more adjacent studs for securing the mount.

4. Place the wall plate against the wall and level it using the bubble guide.

5. Mark four or six locations (two per stud) on the wall where the mount will be secured. Be sure to use the center of each stud.

6. Remove the wall plate and drill a 1/4“ (6 mm) pilot hole at each location using a drill.

7. With the help of another person, replace the wall plate and x it to the wall using the Lag Bolts (Q) and Lag Bolt Washers (R) provided (Fig. 1).

8. Do not over-tighten the bolts and do not release the wall plate until all screws are secure.

9. Attach the cable manager to the middle of the top crossbar (Fig. 3).

location using a 5/16” (8 mm) masonry bit. Remove any excess dust from the holes.

6. Insert one Concrete Anchor (P) into each hole. A hammer can be used to lightly tap the anchors into place if necessary.

7. With the help of another person, replace the wall plate and x it to the wall using the Lag Bolts (Q) and Lag Bolt Washers (R) provided (Fig. 1, previous page).

8. Do not over-tighten the screws and do not release the wall plate until all screws are secure.

9. Attach the cable manager to the middle of the top crossbar (Fig. 3, previous page).

Part 2 – Attaching the Arms to the Display

Important! Use extra care during this part of the installation. Avoid laying your display face down if possible as it may damage the viewing surface.

1. Examine the back of your television. If the back of your display is at, you will be using one of the shorter bolts from the hardware kit. If the back of your display is curved or recessed, you will be using one of the longer bolts and a spacer (Fig. 5).
