Sanus Systems VMPL Assembly Instructions

Step 3: Mounting the Wall Plate: Wood Stud, Brick, Solid Concrete, and Concrete Block mounting options are provided.
Wood Stud mounting:
The Wall Plate (a) must be mounted to two wood studs at least 12" apart. Use a high quality stud sensor to locate two adjacent
studs. It is a good idea to verify where the studs are located with an awl or thin nail shown in Diagram 3a. Pre-drill a 2.5" deep hole at
the desired height in each stud using a 3/16" drill bit. Make sure these holes are in the center area of the studs and level with each other.
Use the Wall Plate as a template to mark the location of the second hole in each stud. Drill 2.5" deep holes using the 3/16" drill bit in the
marked locations. Attach the Wall Plate to the wall using the four 1/4 x 2.5" Lag Bolts (v) and four Lag Bolt Washers (w). Make sure
the Wall Plate is oriented so the flat surface in the center of the plate is against the wall and that a set of Lag Bolts is on each side of the
two large holes in the center as shown in Diagram 3b.
Brick, Solid Concrete and Concrete Block mounting:
Use the Wall Plate (a) as a template to mark 6 hole locations on the wall. The outer holes must fall to left and right of the two holes in
the middle of the plate. Three in the top row of slots and three more in the bottom row. Make sure these holes are level and there is at
least 6" between any two holes. Pre-Drill these holes with a 1/2" masonry bit to at least 2.5" in depth. Insert a Concrete Anchor (x) into
each of these holes. Make sure the anchor is seated completely flush with the concrete surface even if there is a layer of drywall or other
material in front. Attach the Wall Plate to the wall using 6 Lag Bolts (v) and 6 Lag Bolt Washers (w).

Step 4: Attaching Monitor to Wall Plate and adding Safety Bolts
Warning: Some televisions may require 2 people to lift! Sanus is not responsible for personal injury or product damage.
First hook the Monitor Brackets (b,c) over the top of the Wall Plate (a), then let the bottom of the Monitor Brackets rotate in under
the bottom of the Wall Plate as shown in diagram 4a. Insert the Safety Bolts (u) into the threaded holes in the bottom of the Monitor
Brackets. Tighten them with the Allen Key (d) so that they sit behind the bottom tab on the Wall Plate as shown in the Detailed View of
Diagram 4b. Finally loosen the knobs to set the desired tension and you are free to adjust your new flat panel TV.
