Assembly Instructions for Universal Wall Mount
Installing the Mounting Frame onto a WOODEN STUD WALL
NOTE: If you are mounting your TV onto brick, solid concrete or concrete block walls, skip this
section. This assembly requires an electric drill, level and stud finder (not included).
31.Using a stud finder, locate the edges of the wood studs. Find the center line of each stud and
draw a vertical reference line on the wall over each one. Place the Mounting Frame (J) level
against the wall where you intend to mount the TV. Using the Mounting Frame (J) as a
template, mark 4 drill points (2 on top, 2 on bottom) with a pencil on the vertical reference lines
you just drew.
32.With an electric drill (not included), drill 3/16 inch diameter holes to at least 2½ inch deep on
the 4 drill points. While holding the Bracket Plate in place, loosely screw in the Lag Bolts (8).
33.Secure the Mounting Frame (J) to wall with Lag Bolts (8) and the Washers (9) at the drill
points. Tighten the bolts firmly, but be careful not to over-tighten.
The following steps are only for those who wish to mount their
TV directly to the wall. If you have already mounted your TV to
the Swinging Floater or plan to display your TV on the top
surface of the Console, disregard the following steps.
Do not over-tighten the Lag Bolts. Tighten the Lag Bolts only until the
Lag Bolt Washer is pulled firmly against the metal plate of the Mounting Frame. If there is a
layer of drywall or other material, this drywall or other material may not exceed 5/8 inch in
thickness. Failure to heed this caution may result property damage and/or personal injury.
