Determine the Vertical Position of the Wall Plate:
The image at right shows that the further out a mantle extends, it can interfere
with the arc of the lowering TV. MantelMount must be installed a minimum distance
above the mantle. This distance is additional to the distance from step 8. See the
chart below for the additional height required above the mantle. This dimension will
be used in Installation Step 12.
NOTE: If the available wall space above the mantle is close to the required space in
the table from “Requirement E” (due to the ceiling, for example) then it is
important to use the exact dimensions from this chart. However, if the available
wall space above the mantle is much taller than required, then these heights are
only minimum requirements.

If your mantle extends:
Less than 8 inches
8 - 10 inches
10 - 12 inches
12 - 16 inches
Required Installation Height:
Add 2 inches to the distance from Step 8
Add 3 inches to the distance from Step 8
Add 4 inches to the distance from Step 8
Add 6 inches to the distance from Step 8
USE THIS CHART FOR INSTALLATION STEP 12:
There are four lag bolt holes in the Wall Frame that can
not be accessed while the Lifting Mechanism is in the up
position. These holes are next to the center hole. If an
installation requires access to these holes, the mount
must be temporarily installed using other holes so that the
mechanism can be pulled down and locked in place with
the Safety Bolt and Safety Nut. See step 19. The mount
can then be relocated to the correct area.
10
Measure the centerline of the mantle. Mark with tape on
the wall.
Locate at least two studs with a stud finder. Locate the
center of these studs by using a sharp awl or finish nail
poked through the drywall to locate each edge. Lag bolts
must be installed into the CENTER of the studs.
