other as a reference, and replace short supports with long supports. Note: Do not discard unused parts .
Slide Side Wrap Adjustment Assembly onto Main Adjustable Plate Assembly (Fig. 2) and align with one set of
mounting holes. Choose position of Wrap Adjustment Assembly according to size and configuration of projector
and power cords.

Loosen screws for Adjustment Plates (Fig. 1) and size the opening to be approximately 1 1/2"
wider than the largest width of the projector. Secure screws to a snug fit. Loosen screws for Side
Wraps (Fig. 2) and size the opening to be 1 1/2" higher than largest height of projector. Secure

Turn mount upside down. Place projector in mount with top facing up and determine best locations for foam
strips (to be adhered at: top, bottom or sides. Note: top may require two layers of foam) to trap and stabilize
projector. Cut strips to 1" squares, remove protective backing and attach to mount (Fig. 1). Use at least four
foam pieces per Side Wrap Adjustment Assembly. With the projector in place, loosen screws to adjust width
and press together sides to secure the projector. Tighten screws while still pressing together. Loosen screws
on Side Wraps and press down on the assembly to secure the projector. Tighten the Side Wraps while still
