Low Prole Monitor Brackets - See Diagram 1B

To install the Monitor Bracket Extensions (B) place the threaded stud portion through the Low Prole Monitor Bracket (F); then, slide a
Nylon Washer (G) onto the threaded stud.

NOTE: The Monitor Bracket Extensions can be adjusted to the correct height.

Secure the Monitor Bracket Extension (B) by threading on, and tightening a Flange Nut (H) onto each threaded stud of the Monitor
Bracket Extension.

NOTE: If the latch is within reach from the bottom of the televison, the Latch Extension (C) is not required.

The Latch Extension may be adjusted for easy operation on televisions of varying height. Using the 10-32 Screws (N), secure the Latch
Extension (C) to the latch on both Low Prole Monitor Brackets (F).

Diagram 1B

Step 1: Congure the Monitor Brackets

If the hole pattern on the back of your television falls within the vertical reach of the Monitor Brackets (D,E, or F) you do not have to install
the Monitor Bracket Extensions (B). If the hole pattern on the back of your television exceeds the vertical reach of the Monitor Brackets,
the Monitor Bracket Extension must be used.

NOTE: If the Monitor Extension Brackets (B) are required, both Monitor Bracket Extension Brackets must be installed.

CAUTION: Both threaded studs on each Monitor Bracket Extension (B) must pass through the Monitor Bracket (D, E, or F) to
ensure a safe installation.

Tilting Monitor Brackets - See Diagram 1A

To install the Monitor Bracket Extensions (B) place the threaded stud portion through the Tilting Monitor Bracket (D,E); then, slide a Nylon
Washer (G) onto the threaded stud.

NOTE: The Monitor Bracket Extensions can be adjusted to the correct height.

Secure the Monitor Bracket Extension (B) by threading on, and tightening a Flange Nut (H) onto each threaded stud of the Monitor
Bracket Extension (B).

NOTE: If you are using the Low Prole Monitor Brackets (F), proceed directly to Step 4 for televisions with a at back and Step

5 for televisions with a curved back.

Step 2: Attach Tilting Monitor Brackets to a television with a at back.

NOTE: For televisions with a curved back, or an obstruction near the threaded insert proceed directly to Step 3.

Determine the diameter of the Bolt (O,P,Q,R) your television requires by hand threading them into the threaded insert on the back of the
television. If you encounter any resistance, stop immediately.

Once you have determined the correct diameter Bolt (O,P,Q,R), see the appropriate diagram below, thread the Bolt through the appropriate
Lock Washer (W,X,Y,Z), corresponding Washer (CC,DD), Tilting Monitor Bracket (D,E,) or Monitor Bracket Extension (B), and nally into
the television.

Make sure the Tilting Monitor Brackets (D,E) are vertically centered and level with each other.

Tighten the Bolts (O,P,Q,R) securing the Tilting Monitor Brackets (D,E) to the television.

Step 3: Attach Tilting Monitor Brackets to a television with a curved back or an obstruction near the threaded insert.

Note: After Completing Step 3, proceed directly to Step 6.

Determine the diameter of the Bolt (S,T,U,V) your television requires by hand threading them into the threaded insert on the back of the
television. If you encounter any resistance, stop immediately.

Once you have determined the correct diameter Bolt (S,T,U,V), see the appropriate diagram below, thread the Bolt through the appropriate
Lock Washer (W,X,Y,Z), corresponding Washer (CC,DD), Tilting Monitor Bracket (D,E) or Monitor Bracket Extension (B), a second
Washer (CC, M4/M5 diameters only), a Spacer (AA,BB) and nally into the television.

Make sure the Tilting Monitor Brackets (D,E) are vertically centered and level with each other.

Tighten the bolts (S,T,U,V) securing the Tilting Monitor Brackets (D,E) to the television.

Step 6: Add Safety Bolts (Tilting Monitor Brackets only)

Thread a Safety Bolt (I) into the bottom portion of each Tilting Monitor Bracket (D & E) approximately 1/4″ as shown in Diagram 6.

NOTE: Do not tighten the Safety bolt (I). The Safety Bolt is tightened after the television and Tilting Monitor Brackets (D & E) are

attached to the Wall Plate Assembly (A).

Step 7: Congure Wall Plate Assembly

The Wall Plate Assembly (A) can be adjusted in width from 27″ to 42″ [686 mm to 1067 mm]. Determine how wide you want the Wall
Plate Assembly based on the following criteria:

• Width of television (Wall Plate Assembly should be congured so the total width is less than the overall width of your television)

• Width of Hole Pattern on television (Wall Plate Assembly should be wider than the horizontal distance between threaded inserts on the

back of your TV by at least 2″ [50.8 mm])

• Stud Spacing (Sanus recommends attaching Wall Plate Assembly to three studs for televisions over 125 lbs. [56.7 Kg])

To adjust the width of the Wall Plate Assembly (A):

Diagram 6

D & E

Remove the Center Plate of the Wall Plate Assembly (A) as
shown in Diagram 7B.

Seperate the Left and Right Extension of the Wall Plate Assembly
(A) and set them to so that their outer edges are equal to the
desired width; then, insert the Center Plate so the teeth on its

bottom t into the slots in the Left and Right Extension, making
sure that the Threaded Studs t through the center row on holes

in the Center Plate as shown in Diagram 7C.
