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, 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 (K) level against the wall
where you intend to mount the TV. Using the Mounting Frame (K) 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 (4.8 mm) diameter holes to at least 2½ inch (63.5
mm) deep on the four drill points. While holding the Bracket Plate in place, loosely screw in the Lag Bolts
(11).
33. Secure the Mounting Frame (K) to wall with the Lag Bolts (10) and the Washers (11) 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 stand, disregard the following steps.
Do not over tighten the Lag Bolts. Tighten Lag Bolts only until the Lag Bolt
Washer is pulled firmly against the metal plate of 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.
