accommodate dierent TV weights. All TVs
within the weight range should stay in the UP
and DOWN positions when adjusted properly.
The bottom travel stop is adjusted with two
screws so that the TV and mount do not
lower all the way into the mantel.
A slight amount of tilt in the UP position can
be added or removed by using one screw
inside the lifting mechanism.
The side-to-side swivel stops are adjusted
with two screws so that the TV does not
swivel into the mantel.

Protect the TV with Heat-Sensing Center Handle.
The patented Heat-Sensing Handle turns red if the
temperature above the replace exceeds a safe 110° F –
a visual cue that either the TV needs to be raised to the
UP position or the replace needs to be turned o.
To eectively lower the TV using the Handle, follow 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).

Distance between
mantel and lower
wall plate holes
OPTIONAL Some customers want the TV centered between the mantel and the ceiling or crown molding. 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.
NOTE: Distance “E” below must always be at least the minimum distance in STEP 2.2
Determine a higher vertical position of the Wall Plate.
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 “Mount Space”in the Troubleshooting Tips on
page 22.)
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 3.1.

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.

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.
IMPORTANT: You must now move the Vertical Braces {31} on the back of the TV using the same number of inches
used to move the Wall Plates (e.g., move the Vertical Braces down 2" if the Wall Plates were moved down by 2" ).
The bottom of the Vertical Braces must remain between 3 to 10 inches from the bottom of the TV.
Move the Wall Plates up enough to clear the outlet, leaving them as close as possible to the originally planned
vertical positions.
IMPORTANT: You must now move the Vertical Braces {31} on the back of the TV using the same number of inches
used to move the Wall 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.
NOTE: If outlet is directly behind the Lifting Arm, the only solution is to move the Wall Plates up.

Swivel Plate.
Re-attach the Swivel TV Plate onto the desired side of
the Side Swivel Plates. Follow the reverse order that
each part was removed.
This step is OPTIONAL. If you do not need to add the Side
Swivel Kit, skip ahead to Section 4.
Determine the desired swivel setting.
MantelMount is designed to swivel 30° left and 30° right.
Most TVs will reach the wall within this amount of swivel.
For situations where more swivel to one side is desired,
MantelMount includes a Side Swivel Kit that will provide
60° of swivel in either the left or right direction, but not
both. This situation is only for a small TV and a mounting
situation that does not have a mantel.
Note: The Auto-Straightening feature does not work
with the One-Way Swivel Kit. The TV will need to be
manually straightened so it’s parallel with the wall when
raising it to the UP position

OPTIONAL STEPS AND FEATURES
The following steps are optional. Please review to determine if
they are useful to your installation. If not, skip ahead to Section 4.
OPTIONAL: EC43 Cable Routing Box Kit - available at MantelMount.com
If Signal Cables have already been routed to television location, please skip ahead to step 4.3. Also, if the mounting wall is an external
wall, or if there is no hollow area behind mantle, please skip ahead to step 4.3.
The next several steps are for the use of optional Routing Boxes {27} included with MantelMount. These boxes allow signal cables (not
power cables) to be run inside hidden metal conduit through the framed area enclosing the replace, in order to route signal cables to
a side wall. See the image below for a typical installation. Any installation must comply with all local building codes.
The Routing Boxes require the purchase of metal conduit, (2 inch I/D.), long enough for the desired location. When purchasing conduit,
use the Routing Box to verify size, but do not screw it in very far because it can be dicult to remove. Conduit can be twisted or
“unwound” slightly to help position or remove the Routing Box during test-t or installation. Both ends of the conduit must be cut
cleanly with a hacksaw before inserting the Routing Boxes.
WARNING!
You must verify with local building
codes the minimum distance that the
conduit must be located away from
the replace components. See the
image below. Failure to obey local
building codes can result in property
damage and even loss of life.
WARNING!
Routing Boxes {27} are for signal
cables only. Running power cables
next to signal cables can cause signal
noise that can aect audio and video
performance. Also, your local building
codes might not allow power cables
to be run through conduit. Failure to
obey local building codes can result in
property damage and even loss of life.
2“ I.D. metal conduit is not
included with EC43 Cable

Weight of TV
DO NOT adjust all the way to the bottom. That
position is only to remove the Gas Springs.
Pre-set the lifting force.
Turn the main bolt CLOCKWISE (while looking
at the head of the bolt from underneath)
as shown to pull the Gas Springs DOWN for
heavy TVs. Rotate the bolt the other way for
less lifting force for lighter TVs.
See the diagram below for a Pre-Set estimate
for the Gas Springs. The lightest lifting force
is at the top, and the heaviest is down just
below the middle of the bolt threads.
This step requires two people.
Carefully hang the Television onto the
TV Brace making sure that all four hooks
on the Vertical Braces {31} engage the
TV Brace.
DO NOT allow the Television to drop far
enough to cause the Lifting Mechanism
{35} to hit the mantle.
MantelMount comes pre-adjusted to
reduce the possibility of contacting
the mantle, but you should always
be prepared to remove the television
at this stage to make the proper
correction.
If the Lifting Mechanism {35} appears
to be too close to the mantle, remove
television. Go to STEP 5.1 and make an
adjustment to the Bottom Stop position.
Repeat this process until the Lifting
Mechanism is a safe distance from the
mantle when the TV is installed.
4.4
Center the TV on the TV Frame and check it with a level.
Carefully slide the TV sideways, if required, until it is
balanced and horizontal, up to a MAXIMUM OF 2 INCHES
left or right.
The TV would only need to be moved o-center if it has an
unbalanced weight. These are usually older, heavier TVs.
If the TV needs to be moved sideways and is visually too
much o-center above the mantel, remove the TV and
relocate the Wall Plate {32} an equal distance but in the
opposite direction of the TV to compensate.
Install 4 Screws {15} through the TV Brace {33}
and into the Vertical Braces {31}.
4.5 4.6
Insert the two Cable Tie Anchors {22} into the two
holes in the Lower Arm of the Lifting Mechanism. Press
rmly until they are at.
Shown below is the easiest way to attach cables. Use
the included Cable Ties {24} to attach cables so they are
sideways to the Lower Arm, making a gentle loop.
Cables should be long enough to accommodate the
extension and swivel of MantelMount. Check all ranges
of motion before tightening the Cable Ties.
Attach the electrical and signal cables to the TV.
Give each segment of the cables extra length so that they
are not stressed or kinked when the mount moves.
Ensure that cables do not get pinched within the Lifting
Arm when the TV is raised.
Reference Only: This is one possible conguration for
the signal cables. Each segment of the cables has extra
length so that the cables are not stressed or kinked when
the mount is moved.

Adjusting the Bottom
Stop Position:
Loosen the Locknuts and
adjust the Bottom Stop
screws to the desired

There is one screw on each
side of the Lifting Mechanism.
Make sure to balance both
sides evenly so the TV is level
in the DOWN position.
Tighten both locknuts after
the adjustments are made.
5.1
Adjust the Side Swivel Stop
positions, if necessary.
To keep the TV from bumping the
mantel or wall, loosen the Locknuts
{23} and adjust the Swivel Stop
Screws to the desired stopping left
and right positions. Tighten both
Locknuts after the adjustments
are made.
If no swivel is desired, it may be
necessary to remove the Locknuts
and reattach them on the other
side of the Swivel Bracket so that
the Screws can be threaded out to
their maximum length.
5.2
Adjusting for Television weight.
With Safety Bolt {20} in place, use a socket wrench with an extension
to adjust the long bolt inside the Lifting Mechanism {35}. Turn the
bolt clockwise (AS SHOWN BELOW) to pull the Gas Springs down and
increase the lifting force for heavy TVs, or turn counter-clockwise for
lighter TVs. This adjustment can take several turns. (Reference Step 4.3)
Adjust the 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, but should be easily
lowered to the Bottom Stop.
5.3

Verify the proper Lifting Performance (Force)
MantelMount is designed to keep the TV securely in
the UP position while also allowing it to gently rest in
the DOWN position. Refer to diagram below.
If you need to make adjustments, reinsert the Safety
Bolt and then repeat STEP 5.3.

5.5
Adjust the Vertical Tilt Position.
Locate the two sliding knobs on each side of the Tilt
Mechanism on the Lifting Arm {35}. Slightly loosen
the knobs and position the TV to the desired tilt, then
tighten the knobs.
The tilt will remain at the same angle while the mount is
raised or lowered, unless it is manually changed.
5.6
5.8
Paint the Wall Covers {29} if desired.
5.7
Attach the eight Wall Cover Clips to the wall frame as
shown below. These will be used to attach the adhesive
Velcro strips that hold the wall covers to the wall frame.
Fine Tuning the Vertical Tilt Position:
The large screw inside the Lifting Mechanism can be used
ne tune the vertical straightness of the TV while in the
UP position, but it is only needed if the TV can not get
vertical using the standard tilt adjustment.
Backing this screw out a few turns will push the bottom
of the TV slightly outward..
Never release the handle before it is fully upright.
MantelMount is strongest in the top position, and
allowing it to slam closed can damage televisions.
Always control the lifting process.
Never allow small children to play around or operate
the MantelMount. Property damage or personal
injury can occur.
Install the Wall Covers using the included adhesive Velcro
strips.
Attach the Hook {25} and Loop {26} strips together onto
the Wall Cover Clips, and then press the Wall Covers into
the correct position onto the Wall Plate. This will properly
align the velcro onto the Wall Covers.
With the television in the lowered position, remove
the Safety Nut {21} and Safety Bolt {20} from the Lifting
Mechanism {35}.
IMPORTANT: KEEP THIS BOLT AND NUT in a safe place
for future use. They are needed to remove the television
or change the Gas Springs.
Recommendation: Store them inside the Wall Cover {29}.

ISSUE
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.
TV is heavier on
one side.
Vertical Braces aren’t
evenly attached.
Compare TV level with
that of the mantel and
oor.
Use a level on top of
Wall Plates to verify
that it’s not level.
Use a level to verify the
TV is level in the UP
position but not in the
DOWN position.
Use a level on top of the
TV to verify it’s leveled in
the DOWN position but
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.
Contact Customer Support for assistance.
TV is not level in the
UP and/or DOWN positions.
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
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 using concrete anchors (included) with the Lag Bolts {17}, PROVIDED the
brick/stone/wall is structurally sound, several inches thick, and can handle four times the weight of the TV and
mount. Working with a concrete/masonry professional for this type of installation is recommended.
ISSUE
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 3.3).
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.
