Read these instructions before you begin. If you are unsure
of any part of the process, contact a professional contractor or
installer for assistance. Improper installation can result in injury
or damage.
The wall or mounting surface must be capable of supporting
the combined weight of the mount and the display; if not, the
structure must be reinforced.
Locate pipes, wires, or any other hazards in the wall where you
wish to install the mount before drilling.
Safety gear and proper tools must be used. Failure to do so
can result in injury or damage.
Two people are recommended for installation. Do not attempt
to lift a heavy display without assistance.
Follow all instructions and recommendations regarding
adequate ventilation and suitable locations for mounting your
display. Consult the owner‘s manual for your particular display
for more information.
CAUTION: This wall mount is intended for use only with the
maximum weight of 25 kg (55 lbs). Use with heavier than the
maximum weights indicated may result in instability causing
possible injury.

While another person holds the wall plate in position, mark two
locations (top and bottom) for securing the mount to the wall (see
Fig. 1).
Set the wall plate aside and drill a 3 mm (1/8”) pilot hole at each
marked location.
Place the wall plate back against the wall and attach it using the
lag bolts (A) and washers (B) provided (see Fig. 2). Do not
over-tighten these bolts and do not release the wall plate
until both bolts are in place. Ensure that the wall plate remains
level by using the bubble level (N) after tightening the bolts.

Use a high quality stud finder to locate a stud where you wish
to install your mount. Mark both edges of the stud to help
identify the exact center.
NOTE: You must use the center of each stud to avoid cracking
or splitting the wood during installation.
Place the wall plate against the wall with the arrow pointing
up and level it using the bubble level (N).

Part 1B – Mounting to the Wall (Concrete)
Place the wall plate against the
wall in the desired location with
the arrow pointing up and level it
using the bubble level (N).
While another person holds the
wall plate in place, mark three
locations on the wall for securing
the mount. Mark two locations at
the top of the wall plate and one
location at the bottom of the wall
plate (see Fig. 3).
Set the wall plate aside and drill an
8 mm (5/16”) hole at each marked
location. Remove any excess dust
from the holes.
Insert a concrete anchor (C) into
each hole so that it is flush with
the concrete surface (see Fig. 4). A hammer can be used to
lightly tap the anchors into place if necessary.

With the help of another person, carefully lift your display and
place it on the wall plate. Do
not release the display until
the mount arms have securely
hooked onto the wall plate.
Tighten the safety screw
located on each mount arm
using the Phillips Head Screw
Driver to prevent the display
from being lifted from the wall
plate (see Fig. 7).
Periodically clean your mount with a dry cloth. Inspect all
screws and hardware at regular intervals to ensure that no
connections have become loose over time. Re-tighten as
needed.

Part 3 – Final Assembly
NOTE: This mount comes with a selection of different screw
diameters and lengths to accommodate a wide variety of display
models. Not all of the hardware in the kit will be used. If you
cannot find the appropriate screw size in the kit provided, consult
the manufacturer of your display for more information.
Part 2 – Attaching the Mount Arms to the Display
Part 2 – Attaching the Mount Arms to the Display
(continued)
IMPORTANT! Use extra care during this part of the installation.
If possible, avoid placing your display facedown as it may
damage the viewing surface.
Determine the correct diameter of screw to use by carefully
trying one of each size (M4, M5, M6 and M8) from the hardware
kit (see Fig. 6). Do not force any of the screws – if you feel
resistance stop immediately and try a smaller diameter screw.

Determine the correct length of screw to use by examining
the back of your display:
If the back of your display is flat and the mounting holes
are flush with the surface, you will use the shorter screws
(D, F, H or I ) from the hardware kit.
If the back of your display is curved, has a protrusion, or if
the mounting holes are recessed, you will need to use the
longer screws (E, J or K) and may also need to use the
spacers (M).
NOTE: If the concrete wall is covered by a layer of plaster or
drywall, the concrete anchor must pass completely through
the layer to rest flush with the concrete surface.
Place the wall plate back against
the wall and attach it using the lag
bolts (A) and washers (B) provided
(see Fig. 5). Do not over-tighten
these bolts and do not release
the wall plate until both bolts are
in place. Ensure that the wall plate
remains level by using the bubble
level (N) after tightening the bolts.

IMPORTANT! The safety screws must be tightened at all times
to prevent the display from being accidentally knocked from
the mount.
Attach the mount arms to the back of your display using the
screws identified in steps 1 and 2 (see Fig.6):
If you are using M4 and M5 screws, you will also need to
use the M5 washers (G). If you are using M6 and M8
screws, use the M8 washers (L).
If you are using the longer screws on a display with a
curved or recessed back, you may also need to use the
spacers (M).
