Troubleshooting:
1. Some TVs might have cable access in the middle, which might be blocked by
Part-A5. If this is the case, please use Spacers [14] or [15], to increase the distance
between the mount and the TV.
2. If the articulating arms are too tight, some lubricating oil like WD-40 could be safely
applied.
