Step 1: Mount Monitor Brackets to a television with a at back
NOTE: For televisions with a curved back, or an obstruction near the threaded insert see Step 2.
Determine the diameter of the Bolt (G,H,I) your TV requires by hand threading them into the threaded insert on the back of the TV. If you
encounter any resistance stop immediately.
Once you have determined the correct diameter, see the appropriate Diagram below, thread the Bolt through the appropriate Lock Washer
(M,N,O), corresponding Washer (P,Q), Monitor Bracket (B,C), and nally into the TV.
Make sure the Monitor Brackets (B,C) are vertically centered and level with each other.
Tighten the Bolts (G,H,I) securing the Monitor Brackets (B,C) to the monitor.

NOTE: If the horizontal distance between the
threaded inserts on the back of the television
is greater than 8-1/8 inches [206 mm] but less
than 11-1/8 inches [282.5 mm], the locations of
the Monitor Brackets (B & C) may be reversed
from right to left. If the Monitor Brackets
are reversed, the Tension Knobs must be
removed and reinstalled so that they are still
facing out.

Step 2: Mount Monitor Brackets to a television with a curved back or an obstruction near the threaded insert
Determine the diameter of the Bolt (J,K,L) your TV requires by hand threading them into the threaded insert on the back of the TV. If you
encounter any resistance stop immediately.
Once you have determined the correct diameter, see the appropriate Diagram below, thread the Bolt through the appropriate Lock Washer
(M,N,O), the corresponding Washer (P,Q), the Monitor Bracket (B,C), a Spacer (R,S), and nally into the TV.
Make sure the Monitor Brackets are vertically centered and level with each other. See the appropriate Diagram below.
Tighten the Bolts (J,K,L) securing the Monitor Brackets (B,C) to the monitor.

Step 3: Mounting the Wall Plate - wood stud, brick, solid concrete and concrete block mounting options are provided
Wood Stud Installation:
CAUTION: Do not over tighten the Lag Bolts. Tighten Lag Bolts (D) only until the Lag Bolt Washer (E) is pulled rmly against the Wall Plate
(A). If there is a layer of drywall or other material, this drywall or other material may not exceed 5/8 inch [15.8 mm] in thickness. Failure to heed
this caution may result property damage and/or personal injury
.
Use the Wall Plate as a template mark a location on the wall, one in the top row of slots and the other in the corresponding slot in the
bottom row. Pre-drill a 2.5” deep hole into the wood stud by using a 3/16” drill bit, making sure wall the Wall Plate is oriented to the at
surface is against the wall. Attach the Wall Plate to the wall using two Lag Bolts (D) and two Lag Bolt Washers (E). See Diagram 3A for
assistance.
Brick, solid concrete and concrete block installation:
Use the Wall Plate (A) as a template to mark 3 locations on the wall. Two in the top row of slots and one more centered in the bottom
row.
CAUTION: Always locate Concrete Anchors (F) in the brick, block, or concrete. Never drill into the mortar between blocks.
Make sure the Concrete Anchor is seated ush with the concrete surface even if there is a layer of drywall or other material.
This drywall or other material may not exceed 5/8 inch [15.8 mm] in thickness. Failure to heed this caution may result in property
damage and/or personal injury.
Carefully pre-drill a 2.5” deep hole with a 1/2” masonry drill bit. Insert a Concrete Anchor (F) into each pre-drilled hole so it is ush with the
concrete/brick surface, even if there is a layer of drywall or other material in front; then, attach the Wall Plate (A) to the wall using three
lag Bolts (D) an three Lag Bolt Washers (E). See Diagram 3B for assistance
Step 4: Attach Monitor to Wall Plate
CAUTION: Some televisions may require two people to lift. Sanus is not responsible for personal injury or product damage.
Rotate the Latch Handle into its most open position and hang the hooks of the Left and Right Monitor Brackets (B,C) over the tab on the
top of the Wall Plate (A) as shown in Diagram 4A.
Once the Monitor Brackets (B,C) are attached to the Wall Plate, rotate the Latch Handles on each Monitor Bracket until they click into
place. The tip of the Latch Handle should now be tucked up behind the tab on the bottom of the Wall Plate as shown in the Detailed View
of Diagram 4B.
You may place a padlock through the hole in the bottom of the latch handle if you wish to add security to the installation.
