Safety
Installing your Flat Screen TV in your Touchstone Elevate TV lift cabinet is fast and easy. Operating your lift is
very straightforward. However, to avoid the risk of personal injury and to insure optimum performance of your TV
lift mechanism, please pay particular attention to the warnings and safety notices throughout this manual.
IMPORTANT SAFETY and PRE-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Please adhere to the proper installation procedure as detailed in the installation instructions.
2. Safety precaution measures must be practiced at all times during installation of this product.
3. The entire installation instructions should be fully read and understood before beginning installation.
4. At least two people should be available to mount the TV on the lift mechanism. Please take care when
handling your flat screen TV as injury and damage can result from dropping or mishandling of the TV.
5. Plasma screen TV’s should remain upright at all times. Never place screen face down on the floor. This
could cause damage to the TV.
6. The stand on your flat screen TV is removable! Please remove the stand prior to installing the TV on the
lift mechanism. Consult your TV’s owner’s manual for instructions for removing the stand.
7. Carefully measure all dimensions of your LCD, PLASMA, or LED TV before proceeding. Then consult the
Mounting and Installing the TV section of this manual for maximum TV size.

bottom of the cabinet to see if your component will fit in the bottom of the cabinet. Consult the Mounting
and Installing the TV section of this manual for more information.
