Step 1
CAUTION: The plasma displays are fragile and heavy. At least two (2) qualified personnel are strongly recommended for the installation of this product.
Invert the plasma display and set it on a flat and soft material such as (blankets, foam, cloth etc.) to prevent any damage to the plasma display. See fig 1.
WARNING : Proper installation procedure by qualified personnel as outlined in the installation instructions must be adhered to. Failure to do so could
result in serious personal injury and possible damage to the plasma display.
Step 2
Locate the mounting points found on the back of the plasma display, align the mounting holes from the mounting bracket to the holes on the plasma display. Arrow
found on the mount must always be pointing to the top of the plasma display before securing it to the plasma display. Loosely install the six (6) M8 x 20 Phillip
screws to the plasma then secure the screws with a Phillips screwdriver CAUTION: Do not over tighten the M8 x 20 Phillips screws. See fig 2.
WARNING: Do not use a drill gun to secure the screws to the plasma display. A Phillips head screwdriver is preferred.

Step 3
Select the area where the plasma will be installed and make sure it can support the weight standards (see warning on page 3). Locate the 16" wood stud centers behind the wall using
a (commercially available) stud finder and mark the center of the studs when found. Set the mounting bracket to the wall and mark the desired height by marking the center of the
tilt back plate.

To determine the desired viewing height, use the center slot opening in the wall mount as a center reference for the plasma television when mounted. Once the height is determined,
use the bubble level to insure that the bracket is level. Next, using a pencil, mark the six (6) lag bolt slot openings on the mounting bracket. Before continuing, confirm the marks are
located on the center of the studs.
Drill 1/4" pilot holes on the six (6) markings on the wall. Raise the tilt back plate and have someone hold it in place (arrow side away from the wall and pointing up). Put the lag bolt
through the flat washers. Screw the lag bolt through the upper left slot opening into the 1/4" pilot hole. Confirm that the wall mount is still leveled and then screw a lag bolt to the upper
right side slot opening into the 1/4" pilot hole. Then install the remaining four lag bolts tightly into the wall studs in the lower left and right slot openings on the wall mount.
Make any lateral positioning if any then secure the lag bolts. See fig 4.

Securing the mount
Step 5
Warning: The plasma display is heavy and 2 people are needed to lift and install it. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
Before placing the plasma on the wall recheck all hardware for proper tightness and security. Before installing, become familiar with the way the plasma mount attaches to the wall
mount. Align the four (4) tab openings to the four (4) receiving tabs on the tilt back plate. When all four (4) the tabs are aligned slide the plasma down, right and down again to lock the
mounts together. Make sure all (4) tab openings are interlocked with the receiving tabs before letting go of the plasma. See fig 5.
