Assembly and mounting

Read the entire Important Safety Information section at the beginning of this document including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.

NOTE: The following tools (none supplied) are required for mounting and installation: Stud Finder, 11/16??? socket, ratchet handle, #2 Phillips screwdriver, 1/4??? drill bit (for drilling into wood stud), 1/2??? masonry drill bit (for drilling into brick or concrete wall), and minimum 6??? level, 5mm hex wrench, and 10mm combination wrench.

Before Installing

1.Use the 5mm hex wrench to double-check that all four socket screws of the Wall Bracket (1) are tight. Tighten any connection, if needed.

2.Set Wall Bracket against the wall at the desired height. Place a level over the upper or lower cross bar and adjust Bracket until level. Use a marker to indicate locations of mounting holes.

Attaching to Wood Studs

1.First, verify woods studs are at least 16??? apart.

Use a Stud Finder (not included) to find two adjacent studs 16??? apart. Use a marker to indicate locations of the studs.

2.Drill four 1/4??? holes at least 3-1/2??? deep into the studs at the marked spots.

3.Use Lag Bolts (10) and Washers (9) to mount Wall Bracket to wall. See Figure 1, below.

Attaching to Brick or Concrete Wall

1.NOTE: Verify at least 6??? of space are between any two holes. Use 1/2??? carbide tip masonry drill bit and drill four 3-3/8??? deep holes.

2.Insert the Wall Anchors (11) into the holes, making sure they are flush with the wall surface.

3.WARNING! Wall Anchors must be set firmly against concrete or masonry. If mounting to

a masonry wall covered with drywall/plaster, counter bore a hole through drywall/plaster around mounting holes??? locations. This will allow Wall Anchors to be set directly against concrete or masonry. See Figures 2a and 2b, below.

Installing Support Arms to Flat Panel TV

1.WARNING! Verify TV is unplugged before threading any Screw into the TV???s back panel.

2.WARNING! Do no lay flat panel TV face down; cover its surface with a towel or other soft material and tilt it against the wall or another solid surface.

3.WARNING! Some Flat Panel TVs are heavy; two people may be needed to lift and support the TV while it is being attached to the TV Bracket.

4.Locate the mounting holes on back of TV and select mounting Screws (3-6) that fit properly. NOTE: If you do not find the appropriate-sized

Screws, refer to TV owners manual or contact TV manufacturer. Thread the Screws (3, 4, 5 or 6) through the Square Pads (8), the Support Arms (2), Spacers (7) and into the mounting holes in the back of TV panel. See Figure 4, below.
