3Determine Correct TV Screw Size
Choose from the TV Fixings selection. You need to determine which length and diameter of screws
fits your TV. To determine the correct screw diameter, try screwing (G1), (G4), (G7) & (G10) into one
of the fixing holes on the back of the screen until you find the one that fits. Note the thread size and
ensure you use the appropriate diameter screws.
G1, 4, 7, 10
Flat or Tilt
Before you start please choose if you would like your TV to be either Flat to Wall or in a Tilt position.

4Fit Screen Hangers To TV
Once you have established which screws you need for your TV, you can attach the Hangers (C)
and Stand-offs (D) to the back of your TV.
The example shown below is for fixing the TV 12mm from the wall.
The TV Mount can position your TV between 12mm and 40mm from the wall. For alternative
configurations see section 11.
You might need to use spacers to increase the clearance of your TV from the wall in order to avoid
cables coming out of your TV and improve access and ventilation to the back of your TV, spacers
(E1) allow you to increase the clearance to 20mm or 40mm, see section 11.
In certain circumstances it may be necessary to use red spacer (E2) as either a replacement or
addition to spacer (E1), for more information please see section 11.
If your TV fixing centres don’t fit, STOP installation and contact the customer services helpline.
You will only need to follow steps 4 to 11 if you have chosen to have your TV in a flat position

5Assemble Positioning Template
The horizontal part of the positioning template is used to mark out
where you need to drill the mounting holes on your wall. The vertical
part is just a guide to allow you to see how high up the wall your TV
will be to help you find the perfect position for viewing your screen.
Thread template (U2) through template (U1) as shown.
6Determine Bracket Hole Centres
Line up with top of
the screen.
Lay the template on the back of the TV and follow the instructions below.
The centre line of the template
represents the centre of your TV.
If your screen fixings do not line
up with any holes on the template
then ensure template is on the
centre of the screen, and punch
holes to suit your screen fixings
centres with a pencil or sharp
object.
Line up the template with
the centre of the screen.
Mark off the fixing centres.
Tear off the template flush with the
bottom of your TV so that when
the template is on the wall you can
see exactly where your TV will be
vertically (distance from the floor
and ceiling).

Fit Tilt Brackets to TV
15
Once you have established which screws you need for your TV you can attach Tilt brackets (W) to
the back of your TV.
Example shown below is only for TV’s with a flat back. If your TV has a curved back/obstructions or
you require more space for cables and to improve access and ventilation to the back of your TV
you will need to add spacers (E1), see section 20.
In certain circumstances it may be necessary to use red spacer (E2) in addition to the fixings
below, for more information see section 20.
If your TV fixing centres don’t fit, STOP installation and contact the customer services helpline.
If you have chosen 8° tilt option and your TV size is 65" or over it will be necessary to add spacers
to prevent your TV clashing with the wall, the size of your TV will determine if you need to use
1 or 3 spacers. Please see below for an example.
If you use screw for top fixing you must use screw G1G1 for bottom fixing
If you use screw G4 for top fixing you must use screw G4 for bottom fixing
If you use screw G7 for top fixing you must use screw G7 for bottom fixing
If you use screw G10 for top fixing you must use screw G10 for bottom fixing
Use adapter with screws (F1) (G1)
Use adapter (F2) with screws (G4)
Use adapter (F3) with screws (G7)
No adapter required with screws (G10)
Spacers are used between tilt bracket
and TV to prevent clash with wall
