Installation instructions
STEP 1 – Determine whether your TV has a flat back or an irregular or obstructed back
Carefully place your TV screen face-down on a cushioned, clean surface to protect the screen from damages and scratches.
If your TV has a table-top stand attached, remove the stand. See the documentation that came with your TV for instructions.
Lay the TV brackets, oriented vertically, on the back of your TV.
Align the screw holes in the TV brackets with the mounting screw holes on your TV.
Identify which type of back your TV has:
Flat back: The brackets lay flush against the back of your TV and do not block any jacks. You do not need spacers when assembling the wall mount.
Obstructed back: The brackets block one or more of the jacks on the back of your TV. You will need spacers when assembling the wall mount.
Irregularly-shaped back: There is a gap between a bracket and some part of the back of your TV. You will need spacers when assembling the wall mount.
6. Remove the TV brackets.

STEP 2 – Select screws, washers, and spacers
1 Select the hardware for your TV (screws, washers, and spacers). A limited number of TVs come with mounting hardware included. (If there are screws that came with the TV, they are almost always in the holes on the back of the TV.) If you don’t know the correct length of the mounting screws your TV requires, test various sizes by hand-threading the screws.
Select one of the following types of screws:
For a TV with a flat back:
M4 X 12 mm screws (A1)
M5 X 12 mm screws (A3)
M6 X 12 mm screws (A5)
M8 X 16 mm screws (A8)
For a TV with an irregular/obstructed back:
M4 X 30 mm screws (A2)
M5 X 30 mm screws (A4)
M6 X 20 mm screws (A6)
M6 X 35 mm screws (A7)
M8 X 25 mm screws (A9)
M8 X 50 mm screws (A10)
If you use M4 or M5 screws, select the M 4/M5 washer (A12) or if you use M6 or M8 screws, select the M6/M8 washer (A13). For an irregular or obstructed TV back, also use the spacers (A11)
CAUTION: To avoid potential personal injuries and property damage, make sure that there are adequate threads to secure the brackets to your TV. If you encounter resistance, stop immediately and contact customer service. Use the shortest screw and spacer combination to accommodate your TV. Using hardware that is too long may damage your TV. However, using a screw that is too short may cause your TV to fall from the mount.
2 Remove the screws from the holes in the back of your TV.
3 For a flat back TV, go to “STEP 3 – Option 1: Attaching the mounting hardware to TVs with a flat back” on page 7.
-OR-
For an irregular or obstructed back, go to “STEP 3 – Option 2: Attaching the mounting hardware to TVs with irregular or obstructed backs” on page 8.

• Your TV should be high enough so your eyes are level with the middle of the screen. This is normally 40 to 60 in. from the ground.
The center of your TV will be offset .8 in. lower than the center of the wall plate on the wall-mount. Before you drill holes in the wall:
Measure the distance from the bottom of your TV to the center point halfway between the top and bottom mounting holes on the back of your TV. This is measurement a.
Measure the distance from the floor to where you want the bottom of the TV to be placed on the wall. Keep in mind that the bottom of the TV should be placed above any furniture (such as entertainment centers or TV stands). The TV should also be above items placed on top of the furniture (like a Blu-ray player or cable box). This measurement is b.
Add a + b. The total measurement is the height where you want the center of the wall plate to be on the wall.
Use a pencil to mark this spot on the wall.

STEP 5 – Option 1: Installing on a wood stud* wall
Note: Any drywall covering the wall must not exceed 5/8 in. (16 mm).
Locate the stud. Verify the center of the stud with an edge-to-edge stud finder.
Align the center of the wall plate template at the height (a + b) you determined in the previous step, make sure that the template is level, then tape it to the wall.
Drill four pilot holes through the template to a depth of 2.4 in. (60 mm) using a 3/16 in. (5 mm) diameter drill bit, then remove the template.
Align the wall plate on the wall mount with the pilot holes, insert the lag bolts (B1) through the lag bolt washers (B3), then through the holes in the wall plate. Make sure that the wall plate is level. Tighten the lag bolts with a socket wrench only until they are firm against the wall plate.
CAUTION: DO NOT over-tighten the lag bolts (B1).
* Minimum wood stud size: common 2 x 4 in. (51 x 102 mm) nominal 11/2 x 31/2 in. (38 x 89 mm).
* Minimum horizontal spacing between fasteners cannot be less than 16 in. (406 mm).

STEP 5 – Option 2: Installing on a solid concrete or concrete block wall
CAUTION: To prevent property damage or personal injury, never drill into the mortar between blocks. Mount the wall plate directly onto the concrete surface.
Align the center of the wall plate template at the height (a + b) you determined in the previous step, make sure that it is level, then tape it to the wall.
Drill four pilot holes through the template to a depth of 2.4 in. (60 mm) using a 3/8 in. (10 mm) diameter masonry drill bit, then remove the template.
Insert the concrete wall anchors (B2) into the pilot holes and use a hammer to make sure that the anchors are flush with the concrete surface.
Align the wall plate on the wall mount with the anchors, insert the lag bolts (B1) through the lag bolt washers (B3), then through the holes in the wall plate. Make sure that the wall plate is level. Tighten the lag bolts with a socket wrench only until they are firm against the wall plate.
CAUTION: DO NOT over-tighten the lag bolts (B1).
* Minimum solid concrete thickness: 8 in. (203mm)
* Minimum concrete block size: 8 x 8 x 16 in. (203 x 203 x 406 mm).
* Minimum horizontal spacing between fasteners cannot be less than 16 in. (406 mm).
