your walls are capable of supporting
this bracket
5Product must always be mounted

STEP 1:
Aligning Mount
Correctly On Wall
• The optimal height to
position a flatscreen
device is by mounting it
at eye-level of viewer.
This can be accomplished
in one of two ways:
• Measure distance from
seating area to viewing
area to determine proper
placement. The ideal
position should place
the center of the panel
(where the diagonals
meet) as close as possible
to eye-level.
• For a simpler calculation,
cut a piece of sturdy
cardboard that’s
approximately the same
size as flatscreen device
and tape to wall; gaze at
cardboard to determine
if it is at a comfortable
level; reposition the
cardboard until it is
sitting at a perfect height
and mark location of
cardboard on wall with a
pencil.

STEP 2:
Positioning Mounting
Bracket Directly On Wall
• After confirming height
positioning is appropriate
by marking wall with a
pencil, hold wall mount
of mounting bracket
firmly against wall and
use pencil to mark exact
location of drill holes,
using a bubble level to
ensure a proper balance.
• Drill all 3 bolts into
holes using appropriate
washers and/or anchors,
leaving only a few
threads of bolt showing;
insert bolts through
large mount holes and
verify that they can
slide downwards into
smaller hole areas found
above (see sidebar for
specific mounting details
regarding sheetrock and
concrete walls).
• To ensure wall mount
is not being installed
upside down, verify that
oversized rounded hole is
positioned on the
upper part of mount.
• Remove wall mount
from bolts and proceed
to Step 3.

STEP 3: Installing
Mounting Bracket On
Rear Of Flatscreen
• Begin by fastening all
4 bracket extenders to
main bracket attached to
extending arm. Align all 4
bracket extenders against
main bracket to form
an enlarged ‘X’ shape;
insert both screw threads
on bracket extenders
through the holes found
on each front corner of
main bracket; fasten
included hex nuts securely
with a socket wrench.
• Continue by aligning
bracket extenders with
hole pattern on rear of
flatscreen device, while
ensuring that device
screen is resting on a
non-scratch surface.
The appropriate bolts
and washers should be
selected by measuring
the height, size and
position of holes on rear
of flatscreen device, and
determining which bolts
and washers fit best.
This may vary according
to specific brand, make
and model of flatscreen
device.
• Use the shortest
configuration of bolts,
washers and spacers for
a secure fit. Spacers may
or may not be required
depending on curvature
of flat screen device and
rear dimensions. During
hardware installation,
ensure that extending
arm does not wobble or
flop around; take proper
caution to avoid damage
or injury caused by
extending arm.
