Slim Down and Out Swivel Mount Assembly & Installation Directions
Mounting the Slim Down and Out Swivel Mount correctly takes a lot of thought and a lot of planning. Please read the directions
thoroughly and plan out how the mount would be installed best for your use. Each Setup will be different and these directions cannot
account for every situation. Failure to do so may result in Damage, Injury, or Death. Dynamic Mounting is not responsible for any
damage, injury, or death resulting from improper mounting or use of the Down and Out Swivel Mount.
These instructions are only a guide and the consumer is responsible for correct and secure mounting. The person installing the mount
should be a competent person with experience mounting load bearing assemblies. For any questions or concerns, please contact
Dynamic Mounting at [e-mail].
CAUTION: This wall mount is intended for use only with the maximum weight of
125 lbs. Use with heavier than the maximum weights indicated may result in instability
causing possible injury.
ATTENTION: Ce support mural est destiné à être utilisé uniquement avec le poids
maximum de 56.7 kgs. Utiliser avec plus lourds que les poids maximaux indiqués peut
entraîner une instabilité et provoquer des blessures.
Potential Heat Damage: Dynamic Mounting takes no responsibility for damage caused from the fireplace or other heating
sources to the television, mount, or other accessories. Damage could be done when the mount is down, out, or even up. It is up to the
consumer to take the proper precautions to avoid damage. Electrical equipment can overheat easier than expected. Dynamic Mounting
recommends against having fires in the fireplace whenever there is electrical equipment around.
Note: Do NOT move more than half of your TV below a mantel located above a fireplace. When mounting the Down and Out
Recess Mount over a fireplace with a mantel, do NOT install the Mount such that more than half of your TV can be moved below the
mantel.

FAQ
Where do I mount over a shelf? See the Above Shelf Mounting, section on page 11.
Mount is really hard to move/actuate. See the Adjusting the Counterbalance section on page 12.
The TV tilts down in the top position. See the Setting the Tilt in the Top Position section on page 13.
The TV isn’t level in all positions. When attaching to the wall, level off of the Hook Plate Edge, NOT the plate that attaches to
the wall, see Figure 8 on page 6.
The TV isn’t level in the out and bottom positions. The TV’s Center of Gravity needs to be centered on the mount, if the stud
spacing isn’t allowing this to happen the Extra Wall Support (sold separately) extends the mounts reach and would probably help.

Deciding the Swivel Setting
Before attaching the Swiveling Hook Plate you need to decide
which swivel setting is best for you. There are 3 different
swivel settings which are shown in Figure 4. Each setting has
its own advantages. The Center Pivot gives you a lot of travel
in each direction but has the thickest profile (See Figure 1 for
Profile Thicknesses). The Left and Right Pivots are the lowest
profile and can swing the farthest either to the right or the left,
but not both.
Figure 4, Maximum Travel of the 3 different Swivel Settings

Attaching Swiveling Hook Plate to Mount
1. The Swiveling Hook Plate needs to be attached to the Mount before anything else can be
done. Once you have decided which swivel setting would be the best for you, find the
corresponding Swivel Holes as shown in Figure 5.
2. The Fasteners for Attaching the Swiveling Hook Plate come assembled on the Right or
Left Pivot, if a different swivel setting is needed, simply remove the bolt.
3. Once you know the holes that you will use, slide the Swivel Pivot Bolt through the holes
and washers from the top as shown in Figure 6.
oDo it from the top so that even if the nut comes off, the Bolt cannot slide out
because of gravity.
oSome holes may be tight, if so gently hammer the bolt through.
4. Tighten the Swivel Pivot Nut down with a 1/2" wrench until all the parts are compressed
together and the Swivel Hook Plate takes a little effort to turn, you can adjust this effort
after the TV is mounted on the wall. Use the 1/2”Open-Ended Wrench, which came
with the mount, to hold the head of the Swivel Pivot Bolt whole tightening.
Figure 5 Swivel Holes (Top View of Mount)
Adjusting the Swivel Tension
After everything is mounted to the wall; the TV is hung on the mount; and the
counterbalance and tilt are set, the amount of effort it takes to swivel the TV may need to be
adjusted. You do this by tightening or loosening the Swivel Pivot Nut on the Swivel Pivot
Bolt. Access is easiest when the mount is in an out position. Do NOT over-tighten; if it takes
a lot of force to turn the nut then the pivot is as tight as it can be, if you tighten more you will
start to bend the mount. For all swivel settings, if the TV doesn’t stay in the wanted swivel
position, even after the pivot is tightened, the mount may be tilted too much, adjust tilt nearer
to vertical.

Determining Where to Put Mount
1. Extra thought and planning is needed when mounting
over a shelf; see the Above Shelf Mounting section on
page 11 for more details and relevant dimensions.
Find the needed distances [H] and [C] for your shelf
depth [D].
2. To find out how the mount relates to the television
you should do a test fitting on the ground.
3. If attaching a speaker lay that out also with the
speaker bracket.
4. Figure 7 and Figure 8 shows the important things to
look for and measure.
5. The bottom of the TV Hanger, and the bottom of the
mount, is the same height.
6. If mounting over a shelf, make sure the [H] and [C]
minimum distances are satisfied.
Figure 7, Mount Test Fitting
Important: The TV needs to be centered on the mount to avoid leaning

Attaching TV Hangers to Television
The TV Hangers and crossbars come attached to the mount
so you can see how they attach to the Hook Plate. You will
have to remove the TV hangers and crossbars from the
mount before attaching to the back of the TV.
For TVs with hole patterns spaced 400mm apart you
do not need the crossbars.
oConnect TV directly to the TV Hangers
For TVs with hole patterns spaced less than 400mm
apart, you will need the crossbars.
oConnect the crossbars to the TV, the crossbars
have notches for standard VESA hole patterns.
oThen connect the crossbars to the TV Hangers.

Conditions for Mounting to Wall
1. The TV must be centered on the mount to avoid leaning.
2. The mount is designed to attach to standard 2 x 4 or larger wall studs. If the wall isn’t sturdy enough then more support will need
to be added, consult an expert.
3. The mount must be securely fastened to a structure that can support 4 times the total weight of the television and mount.
Dynamic Mounting assumes no responsibility for damage from an improperly installed mount.
4. The mounting holes need to be in the center of the studs, use a stud finder as needed.
5. 2 lag screws are needed in the top slots of the mount and 2 in the bottom slots.
6. 2 lag screws need to be on each side of the center of the mount and the center of gravity of the television.
7. You can double check these conditions are meant by;
oUsing the mount as a template, or
oDownloading and printing the Wall Mount Template off of the website, or
oThe cardboard box the mount ships in has an outline of the bracket that attaches to the wall, cut out to use.
Note: We recommend having 1 or 2 people help with this part.
Mounting To Wall
1. The television should be centered on the mount, if not the television will sag to one side. The heavier the TV and the more off
center, the more unlevel the TV will be through its range of motion. If your stud placement doesn’t allow for the TV to be
centered, the Extra Wall Support (sold separately) will give more side to side adjustment.
2. Mark the locations of the mounting holes by;
oUsing the mount as a template, or
oDownloading and printing the Wall Mount Template off
of the website, or
oThe cardboard box the mount ships in has an outline of
the bracket that attaches to the wall, cut out to use.
3. Once you know your location, pre-drill 1 of the top row of
mounting holes 2.5” deep using the ¼” drill bit.
4. Get someone to help hold the mount to the wall.
5. Figure 11 shows the correct order to put on the lag screw.
6. Use a 9/16” wrench to install the lag screw; do not tighten
all of the way down yet.
7. Level the mount as shown in Figure 8, Positioning Mount on
the Wall.
8. Mark and drill the other 3 holes 2.5” deep.
9. Install the lag screws and tighten until the mount is firmly
pressed against the wall. Do NOT over tighten.

Attaching the Television to the Mount
Figure 12, Hanging TV onto Mount (Top View)
After the above steps are finished you are ready to put the television on the mount.
1. Adjust the counterbalance to the approximate force to handle the weight of your television. See the Adjusting the Counterbalance
section on page 12 for more details. If in doubt, error to the counterbalance supplying too much force. You can easily adjust force
later.
2. Figure 12 shows how to slide the TV Hangers and TV onto the Mount.
3. Slide 1st TV Hanger onto Hook Plate as far as it will go.
4. Rotate TV Back to align 2nd TV Hanger.
5. Slide 2nd TV Hanger onto Hook Plate until TV is centered on Hook Plate.
6. Before positioning the television side to side or pulling the mount down, insert the 2 #10 Screw and Washer through the Hook
Plate and into the TV Hangers, finger-tighten to ensure the TV will not fall off.
7. Adjust the television so that it is centered on the mount.
8. Tighten the screws down with a screwdriver.
9. Put on the 1/4" Nut and Washer and tighten down with 7/16” wrench
10. Adjust the counterbalance so that the television can be moved around as easily as possible but still be able to stay in the desired
bottom position. See the Adjusting the Counterbalance section on page 12.

Warning!: Do Not Let Go of the TV Until the Motion has stopped on
its Own.
Positions Mount Will Stay At
The Slim Down and Out Swivel Mount has a range of positions the mount
will hold the TV at. The general range is shown in Figure 13. The mount
can always stay in the top position.
From the top position down 12”the mount can be set to stay but the angle
may not be vertical and the TV will not have a wide range of positions to stay
at. The Mount really isn’t designed to hold the TV in this range.
From 12”to all of the way down the mount can be set to stay in a wide range
of positions. Depending on the weight of your TV the range will vary. For
lighter TVs (60 lbs and under) the mount may stay in the entire bottom range.
For Heavier TVs (80 lbs and over) the mount may only have a range of about
8”.
Moving the Television Up and Down
If the counterbalance is set up correctly the TV should be able to be lifted all
of the way up into the top/locked position with reasonable effort. To unlock
from this position pull out on the bottom of the television. To get the
television all the way to the bottom position you may need to push down on
the television. If the TV pops back up from the desired bottom position,
reduce the counterbalance force. Typically, the force to lift the TV all of the
way up is approximately 20-30% of the weight of TV.
