Part 1a - Mounting the Wall
Plate (Drywall)
Important!
For safety reasons, this mount must be
secured to a wood stud and the stud must be capable of
supporting the combined weight of the mount and display.
1.
Using a high quality stud finder, locate and mark one
stud for securing the mount.
2.
With the help of another person, place the mount
against the wall over the marked stud. Make sure the
mount is level.
3.
While another person holds the mount in place, mark
two locations on the wall where the mount is to be
installed. Be sure to use the center of the stud.
4.
Set the mount aside and drill a 1/4" (6 mm) pilot hole at
each marked location.
5.
Place the mount back against the wall and secure
it using the Lag Bolts (Q) and Lag Bolt Washers (R)
provided (see Fig. 1). Do not over-tighten these bolts
and do not release the mount until all bolts are in place
Fig.1 Attach the wall
plate to the wall.
Part 1b – Mounting to the
Wall (Concrete)
Important!
For safety reasons, the concrete wall must be
capable of supporting the combined weight of the mount
and display.
1.
With the help of another person, place the mount
against the wall in the desired location and make sure
it is level.
2.
While another person holds the mount in place, mark
at least two locations on the wall where the mount is to
be installed.
3.
Set the mount aside and drill a 7/16" (11 mm) pilot hole
at each marked location. Remove any excess dust from
the holes.
4.
Insert a Concrete Anchor (P) into each hole so that it is
flush with the concrete surface. A hammer can be used
to lightly tap the anchors into place if necessary.
NOTE: If the concrete wall is covered by a layer of plaster
or drywall, the concrete anchor must pass completely
through the layer to rest flush with the concrete
surface.
5.
Place the mount back against the wall and secure
it using the Lag Bolts (Q) and Lag Bolt Washers (R)
provided (see Fig. 1). Do not over-tighten these bolts
and do not release the mount until all bolts are in
place.
Part 2 - Attaching the Arms
to the Display
Important! Use extra care during the part of the
installation. If possible, avoid placing your display
facedown as it may damage the viewing surface.
Note: Your mount comes with a selection of bolt
diameters and lengths to accommodate a wide
variety of display models. Not all of the hardware
in the kit will be used.
1.
Determine the correct length of bolt to use with your
display by first examining the back of your display.
A. If your display has a flat back, you will use one of the
shorter bolts (A, D, G, or J) from the hardware kit.
B. If your display has a curved or recessed back, you will
use one of the longer bolts (B, E, H, or K) along with a
spacer (M or N).
2.
Determine the correct diameter of
bolt to use by carefully trying one
bolt each from Bags 1 - 4 of the
hardware kit. Do not force any of
the bolts – if you feel resistance
stop immediately and try a
smaller diameter bolt.
3.
Attach the arms to the back of
your display using the bolts
identified in Steps 1 and 2 along
with the corresponding Lock
Washer (C, F, I, or L) (see Fig. 2
and 3).
A. If you are using the M4, M5,
or M6 bolts (Bags 1, 2, and 3
respectively), you will also need
to use the M6 Washers (O).
B. If you are using one of the longer
bolts on a display with a curved
or recessed back, you will also
use a Spacer (M or N). Use the
Smaller Spacer (M) for M4 and M5
bolts and the Large Spacer (N) for
M6 and M8 bolts.
4.
Make sure all screws are secure, but do not over-
tighten them.
For displays with flat backs...
Fig. 3- Use a longer bolt and spacer for displays with
curved or recessed backs. Do not use the M6 Washer
(O) if you are using the M8 Bolts (J or K).
Part 3 - Final Installation and
Adjustment
1.
With the help of another person, carefully lift your
display and place it on mount (see Fig. 4). Place the
display in the middle of the mount, and do not release
the display until the mounting arms have securely
hooked onto the crossbars.
2.
Important! Move the safety tab located on each arm
into position to avoid having the display accidentally
lifted from the mount. A padlock can be inserted into
one of the tabs to help prevent theft of your display
(see Fig. 5).
3.
Use the cable management hooks to help keep your
power cord and other cables in order.
4.
Side-to-side and front-to-back adjustments can be
made by firmly grasping your display and carefully
moving it to the desired position.
5.
If any of the arms become too lose to hold their
position, they can be tightened using the Alley Key
provided in your hardware kit (see Fig. 6).
6.
To adjust the tilt position of your display, have one
person hold the display in place while another person
loosens the two tilt adjustment knobs located on either
side of the mount (see Fig. 7). Once the knobs are loose,
move the display to the desired angle. Tighten the
knobs securely before releasing the display. NOTE:
The tilt adjustment knobs have a ratchet feature. If
you need to change the position of the knob without
tightening or loosening the screw, simply pull the
knob out before moving it.
Fig. 5 - A small padlock
can be used to help
prevent theft of your
display.
