Concrete/Brick Installation
IMPORTANT! For safety reasons, the concrete wall must be capable of supporting the combined weight of
the mount and the display. The manufacturer takes no responsibility for failure caused by walls of insufficient
strength.
1. Place the wall plate against the wall in the desired
location and level it using the integrated bubble
level.
4. Insert a Concrete
Anchor (C) into
each hole so that
it is flush with the
concrete surface
(see Fig. 4). A
hammer can be
used to lightly tap
the anchors into
place if necessary.
2. While another
person holds the
wall plate in place,
mark six evenly
spaced locations on
the wall for securing
the mount (see Fig.
3).
Fig.4
3. Set the wall plate
5. Place the wall plate back against the wall and
attach it using the lag bolts (A) and lag bolt washers
(B) (see Fig. 2). Do not over-tighten these bolts and
do not release the wall plate until all bolts are in
place. Ensure that the wall plate remains level after
all bolts are secured.

mm (3/8”) hole at
each marked location. Remove any excess dust
from the holes.
Attaching the Arms to the TV
IMPORTANT! Use extra care during this part of the installation. If possible, avoid placing your display facedown
as it may damage the viewing surface.
NOTE: This mount comes with a selection of different screw diameters and lengths to accommodate a wide
variety of display models. Not all of the hardware in the kit will be used.
1. Determine the correct length of screw to use by
4. Pass the tilt adjustment rod through both arms
as shown in Fig.6. Make sure the long part of the
tilt adjustment knob faces downwards, exactly as
shown. Replace the missing tilt adjustment knob
using a screwdriver. The final assembly should
match Fig.7.
examining the back of your display:
A. If the back of your display is flat and the
mounting holes are flush with the surface, you
will use the shorter screws (D or F) from the
hardware kit.
B. If the back of your display is curved, has
a protrusion, or if the mounting holes are
recessed, you will need to use the longer screws
(E or G) and spacers (I).
2. Determine the correct diameter of screw to use by
carefully trying one of each size (M6 and M8) from
the hardware kit. Do not force any of the screws
– if you feel resistance stop immediately and
try a smaller diameter screw.

3. Find the tilt adjustment rod and remove one the tilt
adjustment knobs using a screwdriver (see Fig.5).

7. Attach the mount arms to the back of your display
using the screws identified in Steps 1 and 2 (see
Fig.11):
A. If you are using the M6 screws you will also
need to use the M6 washers (H). M8 screws do
not require washers.
B. If you are using the longer screws on a display
with a curved or recessed back, you will also
need to use the spacers (I). Use one spacer or
two spacers stacked as needed. You should
only use a spacer if necessary.

5. Remove the clips located towards the top of each
arm and take out the pins (see Fig.8). Then push
down and hold both tilt adjustment rod knobs

mount arms must be fully closed and locked
before moving on to the next part.
