How and where you use your television wall mount is extremely important for Child Safety
As you set up and use your new product, keep all of these safety tips in mind.
• One size of TV wall mount does not fit all TVs. Use only a TV wall mount rated for the weight
of your TV and the size of your screen. Your TV wall mount assembly instructions contains
specific information on the maximum weight and screen size combination that your wall
mount can safely support. Do not exceed the maximum weight of screen size for any TV wall
mount.
• Carefully read all of enclosed instructions for proper use of this product. If you have any
doubts about safe and secure assembly, please contact a professional.
• Don’t let children climb on or play with mounts or TVs.
• Remember that children can become excited while watching a program, especially on a
“larger than life” TV. Make sure to place or install the TV wall mount where it cannot be
pushed, pulled on, or knocked down.
• Make sure that you route all cords and cables so that they cannot be pulled or grabbed by
curious children.
Always wear safety goggles to when drilling or installing hardware.

For your convenience, we have included an allen wrench with this mount. For the best assembly
experience and mounting safety, we always recommend using full-size tools for each assembly
step.

warnings in this manual about certain types of mounting surface materials and the special hardware
and tools that should be used.

Secure the Mounting Plate Side Pieces (5) to the Wall Mount (1) using the Allen Wrench and
the Side Piece Screws (S).

Attach the Brackets (2) to the rear of the TV using four of the Bolts (D-K) with the proper size
Washers (N-O) as shown in Fig. 1a. Make sure to use the same bracket holes for each side to insure
the Brackets (2) are centered top-to-bottom. Tighten using the Allen Wrench (4). Do not over tighten.
Do not force the bolts into the mounting holes on your TV. Do not use an electric drill to
tighten these bolts on your TV. This could damage the equipment or cause personal injury.
CAUTION: Do not place the TV face down on a hard surface when installing the mounting plate
on the TV. Placing the TV face down on a hard surface can result in equipment damage. Use a
blanket or other suitable surface.
If your TV has a flat straight rear, and your screen size is 55” or less, spacers are most likely not
necessary.
The Brackets (2) must be installed on the TV with the hook on each bracket facing down.

If your television has a curved back, and the mounting holes are recessed (Fig 1b) spacers are
required. Install the proper size Spacers (L-M) between the TV rear and the bracket structure as
shown in Fig 1b. to make sure the Brackets (2) extend past the rounded portion of the TV. Then use
the selected Bolts (D-K), Washers (N-O), and the Allen Wrench (4) to attach the bracket structure
(with the spacers between the bracket and the TV) to the TV as shown in Fig 1c. Make sure the
bracket structure is properly aligned on the rear of the TV and securely tighten the bolts. Do not over
tighten.

Step 6: Adjusting the Tilt
1. The Handle on the front of the Wall Plate mount arm is
used to adjust the tilt angle of the TV to your desired
angle as shown in (Fig. 5d).
2. This handle is a tension lever. To loosen the tilt
adjustment, turn the handle counterclockwise until the
handle hits the Wall Plate (1) and can turn no more.
Then pull the handle away from the mount arm to release
the spring as shown in Fig. 5a, and while holding the
handle away from the mount arm, turn the handle
clockwise (Fig. 5b) and release the handle to engage
the spring. Now you can turn the handle further
counterclockwise to loosen the tilt adjustment more.
3. Adjust the tilt angle of the TV to your liking and tighten
the handle.
4. To tighten this spring loaded handle and lock in the tilt,
turn the handle clockwise and when the handle can turn
no further, pull the handle away from the mount arm and
then turn the handle counterclockwise and release.
Now you can tighten the handle further to lock in the tilt.

Step 7: Adjusting the Swivel
1. This wall mount can easily swivel left or right without needing to make any hardware adjustments as
shown in (Fig. 5d).
2. To adjust the swivel angle, simply grab the sides of the TV with two hands and carefully slide the TV
in the desired direction. When the TV is in the desired position, carefully let go of the TV.

Step 8: Adjusting the Rotation
1. If necessary, the TV can be rotated from -5° to +5° by adjusting the two screws on the rear of the
Wall Plate (1) as shown in Fig. 5c.
2. To adjust the rotation, loosen these two screws with the Allen Wrench (4) about 1/2 turn each, and
gently slide the TV to the left or right depending on your needs.
3. Once the TV is in the correct position, re-tighten the screws by turning the Allen Wrench (4)
clockwise.
