MINIMUM DISTANCE BETWEEN MANTEL

AND LOWER WALL PLATE HOLES

Determine the minimum vertical position of the Wall Plate.

Use the Look-up Table below to nd the minimum distance between the mantel and

the bottom of the lower Wall Plate {32}. This will be the intersection of the distance

from STEP 2.1 and the mantel depth. Write the minimum distance in the box below.

Most customers want their TV mounted as close to the mantel as possible. If this

describes you, go directly to STEP 2.4.

However, if you want the TV higher on the wall (such as centered between the

mantel and ceiling) e.g. for extra space on the mantel for pictures or a center speaker,

continue to STEP 2.3.

If installing this mount with a

MantelMount RB100 Recess Box,

the bottom of the Vertical Brace

must be 7”–10” from bottom of TV.

2.4

Find the center of your mantel and the centers of two

studs.

Measure and mark the center line of the mantel onto the

wall with tape.

Next, use a stud nder to locate two studs, one on each

side of the centerline. (If you prefer to use one center

stud alone, see the troubleshooting section on page 18.)

Then, at the height from either STEP 2.2 or 2.3, locate the

center of the stud(s) by poking a sharp awl or nish nail

through the drywall to nd each stud edge. Mark these

center spots on the wall. Lag Bolts must be installed into

the CENTER of the studs in STEP 3.4.

Some customers want the TV centered between the mantel and the ceiling or crown moulding. Others want enough space below the

TV for pictures or a center speaker.

The TV’s position on the wall is directly related to the placement of the lower Wall Plate. To determine exactly where to place the lower

Wall Plate, choose an option below that best describes your scenario and ll in the boxes.

Determine a higher vertical position of the Wall Plate.

Option 1: I want the TV centered between the mantel

and ceiling/crown moulding.

1. Record measurements already taken:

Wall Space Height from pg. 2 (A)

TV Height from pg. 2 (B)

Distance from STEP 2.1 from pg. 8(C)

2. Subtract the TV Height (B) from the Wall Space Height (A),

then divide by 2.

(A) – (B) =

3. Add (C) and (D) to determine how many inches above

the mantel to place the lower Wall Plate holes.

Option 2: I want the TV a specic distance above the

mantel.

1. Record distance from STEP 2.1 from pg. 8(C)

2. Write the specic number of inches

you want between the mantel and

the TV (or TV with sound bar):

3. Add (C) and (D) to determine how many inches above

the mantel to place the lower Wall Plate holes.

TEMPLATE

Determine the positioning of the Wall Plates.

Position the LOWER SLOTS of the Template at the

appropriate distance from the mantel according to

placement preferences from either STEP 2.2 or 2.3. Use a

level to orient the Template.

Mark the center of the four slots along the marks for the

centers of the studs. This should create a cross mark for

each hole to drill.

Correctly orient a loose Wall Plate {32} to the LOWER hole

markings (with slots down) and then the UPPER holes

(with slots up). Determine if you can perfectly center

the Wall Plate over the mantel while reaching two studs,

and without interfering with a wall outlet. If there are no

issues, skip to STEP 3.1. Otherwise, proceed to STEP 2.6.

STUD

BEFORE AFTER

A. Slide the Wall Plates sideways on the wall until they reach two studs.

2.6

B. If necessary, move Wall

Plates to clear an outlet.

If a Wall Plate installation is

impeded by an electrical outlet

(or other) and professionally

relocating the outlet is impossible,

try one of these options:

• Move Wall Plates left or right

to clear the outlet. The Lifting

Arm can be attached anywhere

within the Wall Plates in order to

center the TV above the mantel,

making it adaptable for many

installation situations.

• Move Wall Plates up or down to

clear the outlet. As long as you

don’t place the LOWER Wall Plate

below the Minimum Distance

(STEP 2.2) or above the Maximum

Distance (STEP 2.3), MantelMount

will still function properly.

Simply move the Wall Plates up

or down enough to clear the

outlet, leaving them as close

as possible to the originally

planned vertical positions.

Next, move the Vertical Braces

{31} on the back of the TV using

the same number of inches used

to move theWall Plates (e.g., move

the Vertical Braces up 2" if the Wall

Plates were moved up by 2"). The

bottom of the Vertical Braces must

remain between 3 to 10 inches

from the bottom of the TV.

If outlet is directly behind the

Lifting Arm, the only solution is

to move the Wall Plates up.

BEFORE

AFTER

The Wall Plates {32} don’t have

to center-align with the Lifting

Arm {35} or the mantel. As long

as the Wall Plates are bolted

into studs, the Lifting Arm can

slide within them, allowing

it (and therefore the TV) to

center-align with the mantel.

Slide the Wall Plates sideways

until they reach two studs, and

then mark the center line of

the wall onto the Wall Plates.

Remember to correctly orient

the Wall Plates as shown in

this image and keep track of

which Wall Plate is the UPPER

and LOWER (don’t accidentally

reverse them).

If the Lifting Arm is blocking a Wall Plate hole you

need to access:

Move the Wall Plates {32} to the left

or right of the desired position and

temporarily install it. Use four Lag Bolts

{17} to secure the Wall Plates to the

studs. This will allow you to pull the

Lifting Arm {35} down and install the

Safety Bolt (see STEP 4.1) in order to

access the blocked Wall Plate hole.

Then, remove Lag Bolts and reinstall the

mount in the desired

position.

For assistance, contact

Customer Support.

Attach Lifting Arm to Wall Plates.

If you arrived from STEP 2.5 then you can attach the

Lifting Arm {35} directly to the centers of the Wall Plates

(32}.

If you arrived from STEP 2.6 then you must align the

center of the Lifting Arm to the marks on the Wall Plates,

while orienting the Upper and Lower Wall Plate correctly.

Install four bolts {14} through the back channels of the

Wall Plates into the threaded holes of the Lifting Arm.

Tighten securely.

STEP 5

Make Final

Adjustments

Adjust the Lifting Force for the TV.

First, review all the images in this step.

With Safety Bolt {20} in place, use a 10–14mm socket wrench with an

extension to adjust the Tension Bolt {41} (the long bolt inside the Lifting Arm

{35}).

For heavy TVs, turn the Tension Bolt clockwise in order to pull the Gas Springs

{38} DOWN and increase the lifting force. Turn counterclockwise for lighter TVs.

The Gas Springs move slowly as you turn the Tension Bolt. Their movement is

subtle. Please be patient as it may take multiple revolutions to reach the

desired tension.

Adjust the Tension Bolt until the TV gently stays in the lowered position.

Move the TV up and down within the range below the Safety Bolt. The TV

should almost stay up against the Safety Bolt and slowly lower to the Bottom

Stops when released.

Customer satisfaction is our top priority!

Following are solutions for the most common installation challenges. For further assistance, visit www.mantelmount.com/troubleshooting or contact

Customer Support at 1-800-897-9755 ext.1 or suppor[email protected], Monday through Friday, 7am to 4pm PST.

NOTE: In rare cases, one troubleshooting adjustment may create the need for another. Be prepared for some trial and error.

The wall covering is

made of brick or stone.

MOUNT SPACE

MOUNT PERFORMANCE

It’s possible to install MantelMount by replacing the Lag Bolts {17} with concrete anchors of the same size if the

brick/stone is both rm and at least 1.5" deep. Bring the Lag Bolts to a hardware store for size reference. However,

we strongly recommend working with a concrete and masonry professional when working with uneven stone.

ISSUE

SOLUTION

SOLUTION (May require some trial and error to reach optimal performance.)

The drywall/stucco wall

covering is thicker than 5/8".

Please contact Customer Support for guidance before attempting installation.

A single wood stud is

centered on my wall.

It’s OK to mount the Wall Plates to a single stud by driving two Lag Bolts through the center of the Wall Plates and

into the center stud, as long as the Lifting Arm ends up positioned directly in front of the stud. Alternatively, for a

smaller footprint, replace the Wall Plates with the SSB40 Single Stud Adapter, available at MantelMount.com.

The Lifting Arm won’t

pull down in order to

insert the Safety Bolt.

The mount won’t remain

stationary anywhere

along the route of travel.

It will take some force to pull down the Lifting Arm when it’s in the raised position and there is no TV attached.

As long as the mount is securely attached to a stud(s) in the wall, it won’t break. First, make sure the TV Brace is

attached to the Lifting Arm (see Step 3.7).

Next, pull the Lifting Arm down: Stand in front of the mount, reach up and grasp the top or bottom of the TV

Brace with both hands, palms facing down. Move one foot back for leverage and straighten elbows. Then lean

back, bend both knees and elbows, and pull the mount out and down (see Step 4.1).

Make adjustments to the Lifting Force (see Step 5.1). The combination of the TV’s size and weight, installation

height and mantel depth may aect whether the TV can rest at various positions along the route of travel. What’s

most important is that the TV can comfortably pull down/lift up and stop at the optimal viewing height.

TV is dicult to pull down. Use the MantelMount Three-Step Pull-Down Technique:

1. Stand in front of the mount, arms extended with palms up and elbows straight.

2. Firmly grasp the lifting handles and lean back slightly with one foot forward and one foot back.

3. Step backward with forward foot to pull the mount away from the wall while placing downward

pressure on the handles (keep elbows extended).

If the mount is still dicult to pull down, review Step 5.1, make slight counterclockwise adjustments to the

Lifting Force, and try again. The goal is to adjust the Lifting Force just enough to comfortably pull the TV down

without overcompensating. If it becomes too easy to pull down, it may also become dicult to lift up. Give it a

few practice runs, but be prepared for a little trial and error.

TV is dicult to lift up. If the mount is relatively easy to pull down, slightly tighten it when it’s in the UP position. Review Step 5.1 to

make minor clockwise adjustments to the Lifting Force, then try lifting up the TV again. The goal is to adjust the

Lifting Force just enough to comfortably lift the TV without too much eort. However, if it becomes too easy to

lift up, it may become dicult to pull down.

If you are unable to nd a balance between ease of pulling down and lifting up, follow the instructions above

and focus primarily on making it easier to pull down. Then make adjustments to the Bottom Stop positions (see

Step 5.3). Lower the Bottom Stops to limit downward travel. The less downward travel, the easier it will be to lift.

TV is not lowering the full

vertical travel listed in the

specications.

If you can comfortably pull down and lift the TV but would like for it to drop below the lowest Bottom Stop

Position, remove the Bottom Stop Screws on each side (see Step 5.3); the TV will travel even lower. However,

proceed with caution. If the TV is above a mantel, removing the Bottom Stop Screws may cause the Lifting

Arm to hit the top of the mantel.

ISSUE

SOLUTION (May require some trial and error to reach optimal performance.)

POSSIBLE CAUSE HOW TO CHECK SOLUTION

TV is tilting forward

when in the UP position.

This is generally an indication that the Lifting Force is not set tight enough in the UP position (see Step 5.1).

Slightly turn the Tension Bolt clockwise and try again. The goal is to adjust the Lifting Force just enough for the TV

to no longer tilt in the UP position. Be careful not to set the Lifting Force too tightly in UP position or the TV may

not fully lower to the optimal viewing position.

The mantel, ceiling or

oor may not be level.

Wall Plates aren’t level.

The Bottom Stops

aren’t evenly set.

Post-Leveling

Adjustments haven’t

been made.

not in the UP position.

Use a level to verify the

TV is level in the UP

position but not in the

DOWN position.

Look at the back of

the TV and ensure that

the top of the Vertical

Braces are parallel to

one another.

1. Adjust until visibly satisfactory.

2. Pull down the TV.

3. Make Post Leveling adjustments (Step 5.6) and

match the level readings of the mantel with the TV.

4. Make additional adjustments as shown in Step 4.3

and Step 5.3 if needed.

1. Insert the Safety Bolt and Safety Nut (Step 4.1).

2. Detach the TV Brace from the Vertical Braces

(Step 4.4).

3. Remove electrical and signal cables (Step 4.5).

4. Remove the TV from the TV Brace (Step 4.2) and lay

TV face down on a blanketed surface (Step 1.1).

5. Remove the Vertical Brace(s) as necessary.

6. Reposition the Vertical Braces so that they are

properly parallel to one another, then repeat Step 1,

Step 4 and if necessary, Step 5.

1. Insert the Safety Bolt and Safety Nut (Step 4.1).

2. Detach TV Brace from Vertical Braces (Step 4.4).

3. Remove electrical and signal cables (Step 4.5).

4. Remove the TV from the TV Brace (Step 4.2) and

lay TV face down on a blanketed surface (Step 1.1).

5. Slightly loosen all four Lag Bolts (Step 3.4).

6. Adjust Wall Plates so that they are level.

7. Hold Wall Plates in level position and rmly tighten

the four Lag Bolts. Heed warning in Step 3.4.

8. Once the Wall Plates are level, repeat Steps 3, 4 and 5.

Follow the instructions in Step 5.3. Be prepared for

some trial and error. If adjusting the Bottom Stops

doesn’t solve the problem, try the solution below for

when a TV is heavier on one side.

Refer to Step 5.6 and make adjustments.

Attach a counterweight to the back of the TV.
