Installation

RECESS BOX KIT - Determine the Vertical Position of the Recess Opening:
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 in the MM700
Manual. See the chart below for the additional height required above the mantle.
This dimension will be used in Installation Step 11a.
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.
9a
If your mantle extends:
Less than 8 inches
8 - 10 inches
10 - 12 inches
Required Installation Height:
Add 3 inches to the distance from Step 8
Add 5 inches to the distance from Step 8
Add 7 inches to the distance from Step 8
USE THIS CHART FOR INSTALLATION STEP 11a:
Measure the centerline of the mantle. Mark with tape on
the wall.
Trace the Cardboard Template vertically onto the wall
about the centerline at the correct height from Step 9a.
Use a level vertically to ensure the cutout will be plumb.
