Moving the Television Up and Down
If the counterbalance is set up correctly the TV should be able to be pushed all of the way up into the top/locked position with
reasonable effort. To unlock from this position simple pull out on the bottom of the television. To get the television all the way to the
bottom position you may need to push down on the television. If the TV pops back up from the desired bottom position, reduce the
counterbalance force. Typically, the force to lift the TV all of the way up is approximately 20-30% of the weight of TV.
Setting the Tilt
In the top position the mount tilts from vertical to about 7 degrees. To set the angle, put the mount in the out position for easier access
and so there isn't any force on the cam. Adjust the Top Tilt Cam to the desired position and tighten with a 1/2 inch box wrench. There
is a cam on both sides of the mount, use the Top Tilt Alignment Marks to ensure they are at the same position. Move the mount up
and see if the tilt is correct, if not change the position of the cams, it will probably take a few times to get the tilt perfect. If you get a
lot of resistance when trying to push the mount to the Top position, the Cam is set for too much up tilt and you will need to lessen it.
Figure 10 Tilt Adjust (Detail from Figure 7)
To adjust the bottom position tilt you first need to loosen up the 2 Bottom Tilt Lock Nuts with a 7/16 inch box wrench. Next move the
2 Bottom Tilt Adjustment Bolts in and out with the 7/16 inch box wrench until the mount is at the desired tilt, lock down the locknuts
when satisfied with the tilt.
Rubber Bumpers
To help avoid damage to the fireplace shelf, attach the Adhesive Rubber Bumpers to the bottom of the TV mount where it would come
in contact.
