Installation Guide

Use a Vertical Brace {27} to determine if your television
is a flat back or an irregular back. An irregular back will
require spacers and longer screws to fill any spaces
between the Vertical Brace and the TV.
The Braces must be parallel to your television screen.
Choose the correct screw diameter and length for the TV.
Hand-thread screw combination into the TV to ensure
there is adequate thread engagement without hitting the
bottom of threaded insert. Use only minimum amount of
spacers (if required).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: The Vertical Braces {27} are a
fixed distance (8 inches) higher than the bottom of the Lift
Housing {30}. Always mount the Vertical Braces at least 8
inches up from the bottom of the TV so that the TV will hide
the mount when it’s in the UP position.
If you want to locate the TV at a specific height, you can use
this relationship to calculate the exact location for the Lift
Housing {30} on the wall. Simply subtract 8 inches from the
distance you end up with when you attach everything to the
TV - including a sound bar if one is attached.
EXAMPLE: If the Vertical Braces {27} are 10 inches above
the bottom of the TV, then the edge of the Lift Housing {30}
will be: (10 - 8 =) 2 inches higher on the wall than the TV.
