1. Locating a Stud: First you will need to locate the stud in the wall you wish to mount your TV to. If
you know how to locate your stud please continue to Step 2. If you do not know how to locate your stud
please continue.
Finding a Wooden Stud in Your Home: One quick way to nd a wall stud is to nd a power outlet on
the wall. Wall outlets are normally located next to a stud. The easiest way to conrm the location of a stud
is with an electronic stud nder, which you can purchase at any hardware store. Once you nd an initial
stud, other wall studs are typically located in
the wall every 16”. Please note in some
homes they are constructed with studs every
24". Additionally, many walls have “non-
st a n d a r d ” st u d s l o c a t e d n e x t t o d oo r s ,
windows and replaces. To get the best
support for your mount, it is important that you
put the mounting screws for your wall plate
into the center of the wall stud. If it is difcult
to determine the exact center of the stud with
your stud  nd er, yo u ca n ge t the exact
location 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 the stud it will go through the
drywall through the drywall 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 hitting the wood of the stud. Keep
repeating this process in the area of the stud until 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 Installation Points:
Once you have located your studs, Mark the hole
locations where you intend to drill, assure that
they are level with one another. Use a 5mm drill bit
to pre-drill four holes to a depth of 2”. If you do not
have a metric drill bit a 3/16” drill bit will work as
well.
Note: Please read all installation instructions carefully before installation.
For standard wood stud installation please start at Section 1: Wood Stud Installation.
For Concrete/Mortar installations please refer to Section 2: Concrete/Masonry Installation.

3. Attaching The Mount to Your Wall: Once
the four holes are pre-drilled, afx the wall plate to
the wall with all four lag bolts and washers into the
wall. The included plastic anchors DO NOT need
to be used for wood stud installation. They are
provided for mortar or concrete installation.(Using
a socket wrench is recommended. Power drill may
damage the lag bolts.)
Note on locating hardware to mount arms
to your display: If your display does not come
with the mounting screws in the back of the
display, check the original desk stand as in some
4. Installing Arm Brackets Onto The Back
of Your Display: Once you locate the appropriate
screws, attach the two arm brackets to the back of
the display. To attach the arms use the proper bolt
and lock washer for each of the four mounting
holes. In the event your display has recessed
holes or a curved back, your hardware pack
includes plastic spacers to ll the gaps. These
plas ti c spacers a re not nec essary fo r most
installations.
5. Attaching Your Display to The Wall Plate: After
installing the wall plate, test to ensure that it is attached
securely. Once you have attached the arms to the back of
the display, it is time to attach your display to the wall(This
step may require two people). Attach the arm brackets to
the top lip of the mount’s front plate. Once the hooks are
securely set onto the wall plate you can now let the bottom
of the display rotate back and it will simply hang on the
mount.
6. Securing Your Display: The wall mount utilizes a
set screw attached to the bottom of each one of the arm
brackets. To secure the arm bracket to the mount’s front
plate, locate the set screw on the bottom of each arm then
tighten them in a clockwise motion until tight to ensure
your display will not detach from the wall.

cases the same screws to hold the desk stand are used also to mount your display. If neither of these
options work, the hardware pack included with your mount contains several of the most common sized
screws for mounting your arm brackets to your display.
Note: the TV screw sets provided are of standard size. They will fit the majority of TVs on the market.
Should your TV require a different sized screw, the size can be established through the TV User Manual
and can then be purchased from your local hardware store.

7. Adjusting Your Tilt: To adjust the tilt position on your display you will need to loosen the knob on
the side of each one of the arm brackets, set the desired tilt and then tighten the arms back up. You can
loosen the screws slightly so that it will still hold while you adjust your tilt, once you have set the desired
angle of tilt you can then fully tighten the knobs.
Section 2: Concrete and Masonry Installation:
1. Mark Installation Points: Once you have selected
the location you want the mount to be, mark the exact
location where the anchors and lag bolts will be installed.
Next, pre-drill the holes using a masonry 10mm drill bit to a
depth of 2” then insert the supplied anchors. If you do not
have a metric drill bit a 3/8" drill bit will work.
Drilling Into Concrete: When drilling into concrete or
masonry, you have to use a special masonry drill bit which
you can purchase at your local hardware store, using a
standard drill bit will not penetrate the concrete and it will
just dull your drill bit. It is not recommended to drill and
mount into concrete block or mortar joints. If mounting into
concrete or masonry we recommend using all of the
supplied plastic anchors and lag bolts for maximum
support. The supplied plastic anchors are rated for use up to 165LBS, but if you prefer you can go to your
local hardware store and purchase metal concrete anchors.
2. Attaching The Mount to Your Wall:
Once the holes are pre-drilled and all plastic
anchors are inserted, affix the wall plate with the
four supplied lag bolts into the wall.
At this point you can proceed back to Step 4 in the wood stud installation section to complete your
Concrete/Masonry installation.
ATTENTION:
This mount must be installed using the supplied hardware with all four lag bolts screwed into your stud. If
you are mounting into concrete or mortar, all four anchors and screws must be used for maximum
support. The mount cannot be held liable for damage to the wall, Tv’s, Furniture, or Fixtures after
installing this item.
