Step 3: Hang television on to the Wall Plate
a. Carefully lift the television to hook the arms over the
top lip of the wall plate. Allow the lower portion of the
arms to swivel in under the bottom lip of the wall plate.
Do not release the television until it is completely
connected to the wall plate.

c. Repeat steps A & B as needed to loosen/tighten the tilt.
Horizontal Adjustment
a. If display is not horizontally level when mounted, Tilt
Adjustment Screws are included at the top of each arm
for micro-adjustments (see photo to the right). Use provided
Long Allen Key (X) to raise or lower the screw, which will in
turn raise or lower the mount.
Note: Due to display weight, it may be easier to lift panel
slightly when adjusting the screw. Caution should be taken
to avoid any slips or drops to avoid damage and/or injuries.

INSTALLATION:
Step 1: Mounting the Wall Bracket Assembly
For Mounting on a Stud Wall
a. Pre-drill holes into two wood studs using a 1/4” drill bit.
Be sure to drill into the center of the studs at least
2-1/2” deep. The use of a stud nder is highly
recommended.
b. Insert four ange bolts (V) into holes through the Wall
Plate and tighten down.
WARNING: Tighten bolts so that wall plate is rmly
attached, but do not overtighten. Overtightening
can damage the bolts, greatly reducing their
holding strength.
For Mounting on a Concrete Wall
a. Pre-drill holes into concrete using 5/16” drill bits to a
depth of 2 1/2”. Insert concrete wall anchors (U)
and tap in-with hammer, if necessary (Figures 2 & 3).
WARNING: When installing wall arm assembly on
cinder block, verify rst that you have a minimum
of 1-3/8” of concrete thickness to be used for the
concrete anchors. Do not drill into mortar joints! Be
sure to mount in a solid part of the block, generally
1”minimum from the side of the block. Cinder block
must meet ASTM C-90 specications. It is suggested that
a standard electric drill on slow setting is used to drill the
hole instead of a hammer drill to avoid breaking out the
back of the hole when entering a void or cavity.
Concrete must be 2000 psi density minimum.
Lighter density concrete may not hold concrete
anchor.
Make sure that the supporting surface will safely
support the combined load of the equipment and
all attached hardware and components.
b. Insert four ange bolts (V) into the wall anchors
through the Wall Plate. Tighten all bolts.
WARNING: Tighten bolts so that wall plate is rmly
attached, but do not overtighten. Overtightening
can damage the bolts, greatly reducing their
holding strength.
Step 2: Mount Arms to television
a. Determine the diameter of the screw (parts A through
P) your TV requires by carefully trying to hand-thread
one into the threaded insert on the rear of the TV. If
there is any resistance, stop immediately.
b. Spacers are commonly needed on televisions with
curved backs or recessed screw inserts. The screw
will thread through the appropriate washer (D, H, L,
or P), any spacer needed (Q, R, or S) and the arms
into the TV.
c. Ensure the arms are installed at side to television
and are square to each other after all screws have
been installed (Figure 4).
