3 Installing your wall mount
In this chapter, the basic steps to get you started
are described.
B Warning
Carefully read the safety precautions in
“Section 1 Important” before you install
the wall mount.
3.1 Mounting the wall plate (drywall)
B Warning
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.

See enclosed mounting template for
diagram and guide of how to mount
properly on the wall.
2
Using a stud nder, 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
nder or the one included in the
hardware kit.
D Note
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 veried a
stud location.
B) If the nail just pushes through with no
resistance you will need to start over
and locate the stud.
3 Using 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.
4 With the help of another person, place the
mount against the wall and level it using the
bubble guide.
5 While 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).
6
Set the mount aside and drill a 1/4" (6 mm)
pilot hole at each marked location.
7
Place the mount back against the wall and
secure it using the lag bolts (Q) and lag bolt
washers (R) provided. Do not over-tighten
these bolts and do not release the mount
until all bolts are in place.
8
Once all (4) lag bolts are in place you must
tighten each one. (note: be sure not to over
tighten).
