Determine the exact mounting location for the wall mounting plate prior to the installation, considering the swing of the articulating arm.
CENTER of the wall studs capable of at least (4) times the weight of the display and . The wall plate should be mounted at the same horizontal center line as
the desired display center line (viewing horizontal center line). Remove the (4) 3/8-16 hex head screws and washers holding the wall plate to the arm assembly (this will
make marking the holes easier). Position the wall mounting plate to the desired position. Mark and Pre drill a 3/16” (5mm) hole for the lag bolts. Using the six lag bolts
and washers supplied (6 & 7), level and secure the mounting plate to the center of the wall studs. The wall mounting plate must be level left and right to prevent the
display from creeping from the wall. Fig. 2
The plate must be secured to the
AWM250
After attaching the wall mounting plate to the wall, re-attach the articulating arm using the hardware previously removed. Using the different slots will aid in centering the

and the screw lock tab, remember to install the screw lock tab. Failure to do so could allow the long shaft to loosen and fall out .Check cable position to make sure
cable is not pinched when the mount is opened or closed.
Adjusting tension: The tension bolt adjustments may be necessary to keep the display from creeping from the desired location. Loosen the screw (4) and lift the screw
lock tab and swing to the side. Using two 7/16 wrenches, tighten the tension bolts until enough tension is applied to keep the display from creeping from the desired
location. Make sure to replace the screw (4) and lock tab . Failure to replace could result in the tension bolt and shaft falling out. Tighten the tension bolts to suit
