Assembly Instructions for Universal Wall Mount

Installing the Mounting Frame onto a WOODEN STUD WALL

NOTE: If you are mounting your TV onto brick, solid concrete or concrete block walls, skip this section.
This assembly requires an electric drill, level and stud finder (not included).

34. Using a stud finder, locate the edges of the wood studs. Find the center line of each stud and draw a
vertical reference line on the wall over each one. Place the Mounting Frame (J) level against the wall
where you intend to mount the TV. Using the Mounting Frame (J) as a template, mark 4 drill points (2 on
top, 2 on bottom) with a pencil on the vertical reference lines you just drew.

35. With an electric drill (not included), drill 5 mm / .2 in diameter holes to at least 63.5 mm / 2.5 in deep on
the four drill points. While holding the Bracket Plate in place, loosely screw in the Lag Bolts (II).

36. Secure the Mounting Frame (J) to wall with Lag Bolts (II) and the Washers (JJ) at the drill points. Tighten
the bolts firmly but be careful not to over-tighten.

The following steps are only for those who wish to mount their TV

directly to the wall. If you have already mounted your TV to the
Swinging Floater or plan to display your TV on the top surface of
the Console, disregard the following steps.

Do not over-tighten the Lag Bolts. Tighten the Lag Bolts only until the Lag
Bolt Washer is pulled firmly against the metal plate of the Mounting Frame. If there is a layer of
drywall or other material, this drywall or other material may not exceed 16 mm / .6 in in thickness.
Failure to heed this caution may result property damage and / or personal injury.
