3 Installing your wall mount
In this chapter, the basic steps to get you started are described.
BWarning
Carefully read the safety precautions in “Section 1 Important” before you install the wall mount.
3.1 Mounting the wall plate (drywall)
BWarning
For safety reasons, this mount must be secured to two adjacent wood studs at least 16" apart.The studs must be capable of supporting the combined weight of the mount and display.
1See enclosed mounting template for diagram and guide of how to mount properly on the wall.
2Using a stud finder, locate and mark two adjacent studs for securing the mount (make sure your marks are in the center of each stud).You can use your own stud finder or the one included in the hardware kit.
DNote
Once studs have been located you will need to verify with a hammer and a nail
A)Simply place the nail over your mark on the wall and tap in with hammer. If the nail encounters resistance and is secure in wall you have verified a stud location.
B)If the nail just pushes through with no resistance you will need to start over and locate the stud.
3Using the enclosed mounting template, place the diagram against the wall and mark four locations (two per stud) on the wall where the mount is to be installed. Be sure to use the center of each stud.
4With the help of another person, place the mount against the wall and level it using the bubble guide.
5While another person holds the mount in place, mark four locations (two per stud) on the wall where the mount is to be installed. Be sure to use the center of each stud. (these marks should line up with the ones made in step 3 above using
the template).
6Set the mount aside and drill a 1/4" (6 mm) pilot hole at each marked location.
7Place the mount back against the wall and secure it using the lag bolts (Q) and lag bolt washers (R) provided. Do not
8Once all (4) lag bolts are in place you must tighten each one. (note: be sure not to over tighten). 1
