Choosing which screws to use for your TV You’re probably wondering why so many screws came with this mount. The screw sizes follow the standards setup by VESA for each mounting configuration. Most monitors have the mounting holes flush with the back of the monitor. If yours is like this, you likely need to use short screws. Test several of the screws included in this kit to find the correct match for the holes in the back of your TV. Don’t use screws that are too long because they will not ful

Some TVs have mounting holes that are recessed. This kit includes longer mounting screws and Spacers (D or E for M4 and M5 screws; P or Q for M6 and M8 screws) for such instances. The spacers are used to take up the space in the recessed hole as shown in Figure 4. The spacer you select must stick out past the back of the TV to ensure secure mounting. You don’t want the spacer to be loose. The Monitor Arms (MA) need to rest securely on the spacers. Test several of the spacers included in this kit

Step 2: Mounting the Wall Plate Extending the Wall Plate You need to determine the correct width of the expandable Wall Plate (WP) to fit the mounting configuration of your TV. To do this, measure the distance from the outside edges of the Monitor Arms (MA) on the back of your TV using a tape measure. The wall plate must extend past this measurement and into the “grey zone” (see Figure 5), but should not extend past the sides of the TV cabinet. Figure 5 Minimum Wall Plate Width Maximum Wall Plat

Using the socket wrench, loosen and remove the four M8 nuts and washers that secure the three components of the Wall Plate (WP) together. Extend the Left and Right Extension Plates to the necessary width for your TV, then secure all three of the wall bracket parts together again by placing the four M8 washers and nuts over the screws as shown in Figure 6. Tighten all four M8 nuts fully before attempting to install the wall plate to the wall. Figure 6 6 5 4 3 2 1 1 2 3 DETAILED VIEW 4 5 6 Before

You need to locate either two studs or three studs, depending on the size of your TV. To determine whether you need two studs or three, simply refer to how you positioned the wall plate extensions in the previous step. If you extended the wall plate into or past the third expansion slot, you need to mount to three studs. If you did not extend your bracket at all, or extended it less than three slots, you can mount into only two studs. Next line up the Installation Template (IT) with your pencil

Do not drill into mortar joints! Mortar joints are in between the bricks where the cement is. These joints are typically not strong enough to hold heavy loads. You need to drill the holes at least one inch from the joint to provide adequate strength. Use a standard drill with a new masonry drill bit to drill the holes. Do not use a hammer drill because it can damage the hole or break out the back of the concrete wall which will not give adequate support to the anchor. Because drilling an accurat

Locking the arms into place After the TV with the Monitor Arms (MA) is positioned on the Wall Plate (WP), you need to lock the arms into place so that the TV cannot inadvertently come off the wall plate or be removed. To lock the arms, simply turn the large screw head on the side of both of the bracket’s locking mechanisms 90° toward the wall using a screwdriver as your assistant holds the TV in place. (See Figure 17.) After you’ve done this, and the locking mechanism has been engaged, tighten t
