Product Overview:
The mount is an arculang lt and swivel arm mount that collapses to a slim 2" yet extends a full 15"
while offering 180° swivel and ±15° lt. It also allows for 360° rotaon adjustment to ensure a level display.
The mount supports VESA hole paerns 75x75mm to 100x100mm. Most 12-24" TV displays use the VESA
100x100 hole paern. Some TVs in the 26-32" range also use VESA 100x100. If the weight is below 30lbs,
the mount can mount these larger displays. However, for addional stability, we recommend upgrading
from the mount to the mount for TVs larger than 23". For more informaon on what exact hole paerns
this mount will fit and the corresponding size in inches, please see the Supported VESA paerns in the
Specificaons secon below. The arms and mounng brackets are constructed with 100% High Grade Steel
for a sturdy and reliable mount. The mount comes with a complete hardware kit for mounng to the wall
and to the back of your TV. Thank you for choosing this Mount.

Installaon Instrucons:
Note: Please read all installaon instrucons carefully before installaon. For standard wood stud
installaon please see Secon A: Wood Stud Installaon. For concrete and masonry installaon, please
see Secon B: Concrete and Masonry Installaon.
Secon A: Wood Stud Installaon
1. Locang a stud: First you will need to locate a stud in the wall. If you know how to locate a stud
please connue to Step 2. If you would like help locang a stud, please see below.
Finding a wooden stud in your home: One quick way to find a wall stud is to find a power outlet on
the wall. Power outlets are normally located next to a stud. The easiest way to confirm the locaon of a
stud is with an electronic stud finder, which you can purchase at a hardware store. Once you find an inial
stud, other wall studs are typically located in the wal l
every 16". Please note that some homes are constructed
with studs every 24". Addionally, many walls have "non-
stan d a rd " studs loc ate d next to doo rs, wi n d ows an d
fireplaces . To get the best support for your mount it is
important that you put the mounng screws for your wall
plate into the center of the wall stud. If it is difficult to
dete rmine the exact center of t he stud with your stud
finder, you can get the exact locaon of the stud using a
thin nail and hammer. With the hammer, pound the thin
nail into the wall in the area of the stud. If the nail is to
the side of th e stud it wi ll go thro ug h the dry wall and
easily into the empty space in the wall. If the nail is on
the stud, once it goes through the drywall, it will not go
into the wall easily as it is hing the wood of the stud. Keep repeang this process in the area of the stud
unl you can tell exactly where the stud starts and ends. The middle of these two points is the center of the
stud.
2. Mark and Pre-Drill Installaon Points: Once
you h av e loc ated a stu d, use th e inc l ude d wal l pla te
template to mark the exact locaon for your two wall
plate lag bolts. You can tape your template to the wall
an d v i e w it f r o m a d istan c e t o b e su re yo u l i ke t h e
posioning before proceeding with the install. Then use
a 5 m m or 3/ 16" dr i ll b i t to pre -dri ll thes e ho les to a
depth of 2".

3. Aaching the mount to your wall: Once the
two holes are pre-drilled, affix the wall plate to the wall
with the two lag bolts as shown. The included plasc
a n c h o r s D O N O T n e e d t o b e u s e d f o r w o o d s t u d
inst allao n . Whil e you ghte n d o wn the l a g bolts,
ensure the mount is level.
Determining the correct hole paern to use: The mount
fits 2 different V ESA stan dard hole paerns whi ch are
s h o w n t o t h e l e . U s e t h e h o l e p a e r n w h i c h
corresponds to the mounng holes on the back of your
TV. The mounng holes will be centered on the back of
your TV in a square or rectangular paern. They may be
flush or recessed and they may be covered with plasc
c a p s . I f y o u a r e u n f a m i l i a r w i t h m m s i z e s , t h e
s p e c i fic a o n s ta b l e s h o w s t h e sta n d a r d V E S A s i z e s
converted to inches (1" = 25.4mm).
Please note: The maximum mounng hole paerns for this mount is VESA 100. VESA 100 holes will be in a
square paern 100mm per side or about 4". Many larger TV's in the 26-32" size range will use VESA
100x200 or VESA 200x200. This mount will not fit these hole paerns. For the these hole paerns we
recommend our model.
4. Loca te d ispl ay mo unng ha rdw a re: To d ay, t h e va st ma jorit y of di spla ys ship from the
manufacturer with screws already in the wall mounng holes. In this case, all you have to do is use the
screws provided. If your display does not already have screws in the mounng holes, somemes the same
screws which are used for the desk stand can be used for wall mounng. In this case, when you remove the
desk stand from your display simply use these screws to aach the TV plate to the back of your display. If
the screws provided with your TV will work please proceed to Step 5. If not, please read the next secon.

Display Hardware: If your display does not come with any screws, or the screws in your desk stand will not
work, your hardware bag includes screws of the three most common sizes for 12-24" displays - M4 and M5.
These are metric screws in 4 and 5mm diameters. Most likely one of these screw sets will fit your TV. If not,
you need to get mounng screws from your local hardware store. The best way to determine the screws
you need is to check the manual from your display or to go the website of your display manufacturer. If you
cannot find the type of screw you need, you will need to carefully measure the width and depth of the
mounng holes on the back of your display. A toothpick is a simple but effecve way to accurately measure
the depth. You want to get a screw which is as long as the depth of the mounng hole plus the thickness of
the display plate and washer which add approximately 4mm. The screw also needs to be the exact width
of the mounng hole. It is hard to measure
the width of the hole exactly because of the
threading so to prevent addional trips to
the hardware store, we recommend when
y o u b u y s c r e w s t o b u y t h e s i z e y o u
measured plus one size larger and one size
s m a l l e r. A d d i o n a l l y, f o r m o s t T Vs t h e
necessary screw is Metric. You cannot tell
by measurin g the hole if the t hre ad ing is
metric or standard so when you buy screws
it is best to buy both. Once you have your
screws, match them to the appropriately
sizes washers.
5. Aaching your T V: Aaching your TV to the mount is easier with two people. One person needs
to hold the TV flush to the TV plate while the other person inserts the screws through the TV plate and into
the back of the display.
6. Adjusng Your Display: Once your display is mounted you can make adjustments of the lt, sag,
twist, and ease of moon. The mount allows for adjustment of each of these.
Tilt Adjustment: To adjust the angle of lt, there is a bolt in the center of the TV plate. Once this bolt is
loosened, the TV lt can be adjusted by pushing or pulling on the top and boom of the TV Bezel. Re-
ghten the bolt to secure the plate to the mount.
Sag Adjustment: If you are experiencing sag you can ghten the bolts in the arm joints using the provided
Allen wrenches. If you ghten these joints too much it can make it more difficult to extend and collapse the
arm. If aer ghtening the bolts you are sll experiencing sag, you can insert a spacer between the back of
the wall plate and the wall. To do so, you would need to first parally unscrew the boom lag bolt of the
wall plate and then insert a spacer between the wall plate and the wall. This angles the wall plate upward
and offsets the sag.

8
Rotaon Adjustment: To adjust the rotaon, loosen the same bolt that controls the lt. Once loosened,
the TV plate will rotate clockwise or counterclockwise.
Ease of Moon: If your mount is difficult to collapse and extend from the wall, you can use the provided
Allen wrench to loosen the bolts in the joints of the arm. If you loosen the joints too much it may cause
your mount to sag.
Secon B: Concrete and Masonry Installaon:
1. Mark Installaon Points: Once you
have selected the locaon for your mount, use
the suppl ie d wall plate te mp late to ma rk the
exact locaon of where the two anchors and lag
bolts will be installed.
2. Pre-Drill Installaon Points: Pre-drill
the holes using a 10mm or 3/8" concrete drill bit
t o a d e p t h o f 2 " t h e n i n s e r t t h e s u p p l i e d
anchors (Part 6). See Figure to the right.
Drilling into Concrete: When drilling into concrete or masonry,
you have to use a special masonry drill bit. Using a standard drill
bit will not penetrate the concrete and it will just dull your drill
bit. If you do not have a masonry drill bit, you can purchase one at
th e loca l hard wa re sto re . It is no t recomm end e d to d r ill an d
mount into concrete block or mortar joints. The supplied plasc
anchors are rated for use up to 165LBS, but if you prefer, you can
go to yo ur local hardwa re store and purchase metal concrete
anchors.
3. Aaching the mount to your wall: Once the holes are
pre-drilled and both plasc anchors are inserted, fix the wall plate
with the two supplied lag bolts into the wall. See Figure to the
le.
ATTENTION:
This mount must be installed using the supplied hardware with the two lag bolts used for wood stud or
masonry installaon. The mount guarantees the mount only and is not responsible for any damage to
walls, TVs, furniture or fixtures.
At this point please connue with Step 4 in the wood stud installaon secon as the rest of the steps
apply to both.
