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:
Select from the following washers:
For an irregular or obstructed TV back, use the universal spacers (I).

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.
Note: If you plan to use a 5° tilt with a larger TV (42”+), we suggest using spacers with the mounting
brackets so that the bottom of the TV does not touch the wall.
