  • Page 21 The Top Plate Bracket (Part #8) is a 5-part plate (one Main Plate, two Extensions and two Fine-tuning Plates) that allows you to adjust the depth and position of the plate relative to the Threaded Tapered Pins (Steps 22- 27). The Top Plate Bracket comes pre-assembled in a semi-retracted configuration. If you need to expand the depth of the plate to accommodate a deeper cabinet lid, remove the flat head machine screws from the Extensions, move them to the depth you need, and re-insert the machine screws.
  • Page 22 Installing the Tapered Pins in the Floating Lid What Are the Tapered Pins, and Why Use Them? The two 1½” x ¼” Steel Threaded Tapered Pins are used IN PLACE OF SCREWS to hold your cabinet top (lid) in place on the Lift System Top Plate Bracket (Part #8). The Tapered Pins will keep your lid firmly in place, but will also allow it to separate from the lift system if anything (like a finger) gets in the way when the TV lowers.
  • Page 23 How to Install the Tapered Pins: You will be screwing the Tapered Pins into the underside of your cabinet lid, and they will hang down and drop into the two “Nesting Holes” in the Top Plate Bracket (Part #8). Step 23: Before installing the Tapered Pins, position the Cabinet Lid. With the TV and the Lift System in the fully retracted position, set the Cabinet Lid in place.
  • Page 24 Step 26: Remove Cabinet Lid and drill two holes in the marked positions. Use a 7/32” drill bit to drill two holes, ½” deep, in the underside of the Cabinet Top where you have marked. Step 27: Using a Phillips head screw driver (not provided) screw each Tapered Pin into the holes drilled in step 25.
