You must be careful to accurately drill the holes or else the screws may not line

up with the holes in your Wall Plate (WP).

Line up the installation template with your stud markings to ensure the proper location for

your drill holes. After you have the position selected, tape the template in place securely

on the wall with masking tape so that you don’t damage the wall surface. Use a level to

double-check that the screw holes will line up vertically. Drill all holes 2.5" (64mm) deep

using a 5/32" (or 4mm) size drill bit. Follow the directions on the installation template

carefully. The mount is designed to be installed into two studs if the expansion plates are

in the 1st or 2nd hole position as shown on page 11. If the mount is in the third or wider

expansion slot it must be mounted to three studs.

Using the Installation Template

The Installation Template (IT) included in this kit helps you select the correct

positions for drilling the holes for the TV mounting.

When mounting to a wood stud

When you have prepared the holes for mounting the Wall Plate (WP), place the plate

over the holes and screw in the Lag Bolts (T), as shown in Figure 10. Leave some “wiggle”

room so that you can make any fine adjustments, if necessary. After making sure the wall

mount is level, tighten all of the lag bolts completely.

Tighten the Lag Bolts (T) so that the Wall Plate (WP) is firmly attached to the

wall, but don’t over-tighten! The lag bolts and/or the supporting surface can

become damaged, which greatly reduces their holding ability. Final tightening of

the bolts should always be done by hand, with a Phillips-head screwdriver or

ratchet wrench.
