Installaon Instrucons:
Note: Pleas e read all installaon instrucons carefull y 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 locate d in the wall
every 16". Please note that some homes are constructed
with studs every 24". Addionally, many walls have "non-
stan dard" stud s lo cated n ex t to do ors, win dows a nd
fireplaces. To get the b est 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 rmi ne the exact center of the 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 si de of th e st ud it wi ll go th rou gh the d ry wal l 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 have located a stud, mark the exact locaon for your
two wall plate lag bolts. You can use the mount and hold
it on the wall while you make the hole locaons. Then
use a 5mm drill bit to pre-drill these holes to a depth of
2". If you do not have a metric drill bit, a 3/16" drill bit
will work.

3. Aachin g the mount to your wal l: Once the
two holes are pre-drilled, fix the wall plate to the
w a l l w i t h t h e t w o l a g b o l t s a n d wa s h e r s a s
sho wn. The inc lud ed plas c a nch o rs DO N OT
need to be u sed for wood stud installaon. Do
not over ghten the lag bolts.
4.Aaching the plate covers: Aach the two
plate covers to each other as shown to the le.
Snap them together to lock in place.
Dete rmining the correct hole paer n to us e:
The mount fits 5 different VESA standard hole
paerns which are shown to the right. Use the
h o l e p a e r n w h i c h c o r r e s p o n d s t o t h e
moun ng ho l e s on th e b a ck of yo u r TV. The
mounng holes will be centered on the back of
your TV in a square or rectangular paern. They
m a y b e flus h o r re c e s s e d a n d t h e y m a y b e
covered with plasc caps. If you are unfamiliar
wit h mm sizes, the s pec ificaons table shows
the standard VESA sizes converted to inches (1"
= 25.4mm).

6. Locate display mounng hardware: Today, the vast majority of displays 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 s crews to aach the TV plate to the bac k of your d isplay. If th e screws
provided with your TV will work please proceed to Step 7. If not, please read below.
Display Hardware: If your display does
no t co me with a ny s crews , or the s crews in
your desk stand will not work, your hardware
b a g i n c l u d e s s c r e w s o f t h e t h r e e m o s t
co mm on si zes fo r 23-37" di sp lays - M4, M5
and M8. These are metric screws in 4,5 and
8mm diamet e rs. Mos t l i ke l y o n e o f t h e s e
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 nee d i s t o c he ck th e m anual fro m your
displ ay or to go th e we bsite o f your d isplay
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 you buy screws to buy
the size you measured plus one size larger and one size smaller. Addionally, for most TVs the necessary
screw is Metric. You cannot tell by measuring the hole if the threading is metric or standard so when you
buy screws it is b est to buy both. Once you have your screws, match them to the a ppro pri ately sizes
washers.
7. Aaching your T V: Aaching your TV to the mount requires 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. Do not over ghten.

8. 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.
Sag Adjustment: If you are experiencing sag you can ghten the bolts in the arm joints
using an allen wrenches. If you ghten these joints too much it can make it more difficult to extend and
colla pse th e arm. If aer ghtening th e bolt s you a re sl l ex perienc in g sag, you ca n insert a sp acer
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.
Rotaon Adjustment: If, once installed, your display is not level, there is approximately±4°
of rotaon adjustment built in to your TV plate. To adjust the rotaon, loosen the same bolt that controls
the lt. Once loosened, the TV plate will rotate up to 4° clockwise or counterclockwise. If you need more
than 4° of rotaon adjustment, you can get an addional 1-2° by loosening the lag bolts in the wall plate
and rotang the wall plate. If your display is sll not level you may need to detach and reinstall the wall
plate, intenonally offseng it in the direcon needed.
Ease of Moon: If your mount is difficult to collapse and extend from the wall, you can use
an 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 . M ar k Inst al lao n Points : O nc e you
have selected the locaon for your mount, mark
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 mason ry 1 0mm drill bit to 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 t w o
anchors. See Figure to the right. 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.
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 the local hardware store. It is not recommended to drill and
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 your local hardware
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 and
washers into the wall. See Figure to the le.
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.
ATTEN TION:
This mount must be installed using the supplied hardware with at least two lag bolts screwed into a stud
for wood stud installaon or two anchors and screws for masonry installaon.
