Step 1.1 Select the correct size of bolt
Seneca AV provides 3 bolt diameters (Metric sizes M5,
M6 and M8) in various lengths.
Part items: A, B, C, D, E, or F.
Select the correct diameter bolt and hand screw into
the back of the TV to determine the correct length.
Use washer (J) for bolts A, B, D or E(M5 or M6 size),
and washer (K) for bolts Cor F(M8 size).
If your TV has a curved back or the mounting holes are
recessed, you can use a combination of spacers (G, H
or I, depending on the selected bolt) to ensure a proper
fit. You can use spacers inside or outside the bracket
arm, as shown in Diagram A.
Step 1.2 Attach TV brackets to the back of the TV
Now that you have selected the correct bolt length and
combination of spacers, it’s time to attach the brackets
to the TV, as shown in Diagram A.
WARNING
Never overtighten a bolt into the back of your flat panel TV.
Do not lay the TV face down on it’s glass front. Use a wall or a TV stand.
Step 1: Attach TV Brackets
There are a wide variety of TVs available that use an assortment of bolt sizes. We provide a selection of mounting
bolts to fit most TVs. If you have any concerns about this mounting hardware or installation call Seneca AV directly
at 1-855-430-4708 or email [e-mail].

CAUTION
Make sure the supporting surface will support
the load limits outlined in the Caution at the bottom
of page two. Tighten lag bolts until the wall plate is flat
against the wall. Do not overtighten lag bolts (L). Each
lag bolt must be screwed into a wood stud.
CAUTION
Make sure the concrete or brick wall is at least
3.5” thick. Make sure the anchor is seated completely
flush with the concrete surface even if there is another
layer of material, such as drywall. If drywall is over 5/8”
thick custom lag bolts must be used. Concrete must be
a minimum of 2000psi in density.

Step 2: Mount Wall Plate
Wood Stud Wall
The wall plate must be mounted to two wood studs. Use
a stud sensor to locate the two studs, clearly marking
the centers of the studs. Use a long level to make sure
these marks are horizontally level. Attach the wall plate
template to the wall at the desired height so that the
stud centers are visible through mounting slots, and drill
four pilot holes. Once you have drilled the pilot holes,
remove the wall plate template.
Attach the wall plate using four lag bolts (L) and lag bolt
washers (K) (see Diagram B). Make sure the wall plate
is flat against the wall surface. Do not over-tighten lag
bolts (L).
Brick or Concrete Wall
Attach the wall plate template to the wall at the
desired height, using a long level to ensure that the
template is level. Mark six hole locations on the wall
for the concrete anchors (we suggest placing the holes
as shown in Diagram C where possible). Drill the six
holes perpendicular to the wall using a masonry bit (see
Diagram C). Do not drill into mortar joints. Remove the
wall plate template. Insert a concrete anchor (M) into
each of these holes until it is flush with the wall surface.
Place the wall plate over the six anchors, then mount
using the lag bolts (L), and washers (K). Make sure the
wall plate is flat against the wall surface. Do not over-
tighten lag bolts (L).
Before you start drilling, attach the wall plate template to your wall. It will make marking and drilling level pilot holes
easier, and catch a lot of the dust. Remember to remove it before you attach the wall plate.

Step 3: Attach TV to TV Plate
Step 4: Level the TV
With the TV brackets firmly secured to the TV, use two people
to lift the TV into position and hook the TV brackets onto the
TV plate, as shown in Diagram D. Tighten safety bolts at the
bottom of the TV brackets as shown in Diagram E.
The SA51 comes pre-tensioned at the factory to allow
you to level the TV ±5° by simply holding the TV and
twisting up or down, as shown in Diagram F. If you need
to tighten or loosen the level mechanism, use a crescent
wrench on the two top nuts, as shown in Diagram G.
CAUTION
Read this section carefully prior to install.
WARNING
Use two people to lift and position the TV onto the TV Plate.

Step 6: Cable Management
Insert your cables into the cable management clips
provided on the mount arms, as shown in Diagram I.
You may move the clips from one side to the other by
removing the screws that hold the clips to the bottom of
the mount arms.
Your installation is complete.

Step 5: Tilt the TV
Diagram H
The SA51 will tilt +14/-8° to provide the ideal viewing
angle. Loosen the tilt lever on the right side by rotating
it counter-clockwise from bottom to top as shown in
Diagram H. (Loosen the tilt lever on the left side by
rotating it counter-clockwise from top to bottom). To
loosen further, flip the lever to avoid contact with the TV
plate.
Tilt the TV to the desired angle, then tighten the tilt
levers by rotating them clockwise. On the right side, this
is from top to bottom, as shown in Diagram H (on the
left side, from bottom to top). To tighten further, flip the
lever to avoid contact with the TV plate.
