The MM720 was designed with two tilt handle conguration
options. Both options will allow you to tilt your television
equally. Choose the handle conguration that works best for
your mounting situation. DO NOT install BOTH HANDLES.
Option B: Hideaway Handle conguration.
Allows for the handle to be hidden away behind the television while
still giving access to the mounts tilt feature.
Option A: Heat-Sensing Handle Conguration.
Our 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.

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

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 21.)
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.

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 two options:
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

OPTIONAL
80° BOTH
DIRECTIONS
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 is desired, the SRE00
Side Swivel Kit that provide 80 degrees in both directions.
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 SRE00 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.
This step is OPTIONAL. SRE00 NOT REQUIRED IF MOUNTING OVER A FIREPLACE.If you do not need to add the Side Swivel Kit, skip ahead to Section 4.
Note: The SRE00 is recommended only for installations of the MantelMount that require maximum swivel in both Directions, such as a mount that is
attached to a post or located at a corner. Also, when the mount is in the stowed, at position this extender will shift the TV slightly to one side or the other.
The wall attachment can be shifted sideways to compensate for this if a center installation is desired.
SRE00 Swivel Range Extender (Optional)
Before starting this next optional step – Installing the SRE00
Swivel Range Extender –You MUST pull the Lifting Arm down
and engage the Safety Latches. See step 4.1 before proceeding.

Engaging the Safety Latches. In this next step of the installation process you will be required to simultaneously engage the Safety
Latches. This will allow you to safely perform the rest of the installation.
Engaging the Safety Latches will require two people. The rst person must rmly pull down the TV Brace until the Lifting
Mechanism is in the horizontal position. DO NOT HIT THE MANTLE! The second person must simultaneously lower both of the Safety
Latches from the stowed position under the upper lifting arm and into the Latches catch slots. SLOWLY raise the TV Brace while
at the same time pushing the Safety Latches INWARD and REARWARD until they engage the slots in the Lower Arm. The Lifting
Mechanism will now stay at a horizontal position.

The Safety Latches must always be engaged
or disengages simultaneously.
WARNING: For your safety always
engaged or disengage Safety Latches by
reaching underneath the mount.
WARNING: DO NOT reach through
the arm to grab the Safety Latches!
Grab from below the Arm only!

4.1
Preset 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 preset 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.
DO NOT adjust all the way to the bottom. That position is only to remove the Gas Springs.

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.
4.3
Install 4 Screws {15} through the TV Brace {33} and into
the Vertical Braces {31}.
4.4
When the lower Tilt Straps {54} are connected to the
upper Tilt Straps, the Slots in the Tilt Puller {65} must
be centered on its screws, as shown. Hold the Tilt Puller
centered until the Tilt Strap screws are tightened.

SLOTSCREW
4.2
Attaching top tilt linkage .
Attach two hanging Tilt Straps {54} to the front of the
Swivel Plate using two Screws {15} and two Nuts {23}.
Tighten screws as they will not be accessible after the
TV is mounted to the brace. Let the straps hang as we
will be attaching them to the rest of the tilt mechanism
after the television is attached to the MantelMount.
NOTE The tilt function does not work with the Recess
Box RB100, because the TV will be too close to the wall.
If you intend to use the RB100 Recess Box on with
your MantelMount installation DO NOT use parts
{65} or {54}. You can skip this step.

4.7
NOTE: Using the tilt function on your mount will require the use of both of your hands. You will use one hand to hold the handle
steady while pulling the Tilt Puller downward with the other hand. You will feel the locking mechanism disengage from the locked
position. You are now free to tilt your mount forward up to 10°. Once you achieve the desired tilt slowly release the Tilt Puller until
you feel it reengage the tilt lock mechanism.
Place one hand on the handle and
one hand pulling the Tilt Puller.
4.6
We can now use four Screws {15} and four Nuts {23}to attach the Tilt Straps to the hanging Tilt Straps we attached in step 4.4. When
attaching the hardware to the Tilt Straps attach them as close to the end of the straps as your installation allows.
Keep the slots centered.

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.

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 and do not get
caught between the lifting arm and the mounting
bracket. After check range of motion and cable
clearance tightening the Cable Ties.

Adjusting for Television weight.
With the Safety Latches Secured 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 Latches. The TV
should almost stay up against the Safety Latches, 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
Latches and then repeat STEP 5.3.
