Safety information and specifications

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS -

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: Do not use this product for

any purpose not explicitly specified by

Rocketfish.

Improper installation may cause

property damage or personal injury. If

you do not understand these directions, or have doubts

about the safety of the installation, contact Customer

Service or call a qualified contractor. Rocketfish is not

responsible for damage or injury caused by incorrect

installation or use.

The included hardware is designed for use on vertical walls

constructed of wood studs or solid concrete. A wood stud

wall is defined as consisting of a minimum of 2x4 wooden

studs (2” wide by 4” deep) with a maximum of 5/8”

drywall. The included hardware is not designed for use with metal studs or cinderblock walls. If you’re uncertain

about the construction of your wall, then please consult a qualified contractor or installer for assistance. For a

safe installation, the wall you are mounting to must support 4 times the weight of the total load. If not, then the

surface must be reinforced to meet this standard. The installer is responsible for verifying that the wall structure

and hardware used in any installation method will safely support the total load.

The weight of your TV must not exceed 20 lbs. (9.1 kg). Rocketfish recommends that the wall be capable of

supporting five times the weight of your TV and wall mount combined, or approximately 125 lbs. (57 kg).

This product contains small items that could be a choking hazard if swallowed. Keep these items away from

young children!

Installation instructions

STEP 1- Select screws

1 Select the screws for your TV. A limited number of TVs come with mounting hardware included. (If there are

screws that came with the TV, they are usually in the holes on the back of the TV.) If you don't know the

correct diameter of the mounting screws your TV requires, test various sizes by hand threading the screws.

Select one of the following types of screws:

NOTE: For Samsung TVs with size M8 mounting holes, use the hardware included in the Adapter Kit. Follow the

instructions printed on the Adapter Kit bag to install the hardware.

CAUTION:

To avoid potential personal injuries and property damage, make sure that there are adequate

threads to secure the brackets to your TV. If you encounter resistance, stop immediately and contact

customer service. Using hardware that is too long may damage your TV. However, using a screw that is

too short may cause your TV to fall from the mount.

2 Remove the screws.

STEP 2 - Determining your mounting configuration

1 Carefully place your TV screen face down on a cushioned, clean surface to protect the screen from damage

and scratches.

2 If your TV has a table top stand attached, remove the stand. See the documentation that came with your TV

for instructions.

3 Temporarily hold the flat surface of the arm assembly (B) against the back of your TV.

4 Identify the type of mounting configuration by determining if your arm assembly (B) lines up with the screw

holes on the back of your TV or if you will need to install the adapters (C).

5 Remove the arm assembly.

For 75 x 75mm or 100 x 100 mm mounting configurations, go to "STEP 3: Option 1- Attaching the arm assembly

without the adapters" on page 7.

For a 100 x 200 mm, 200 x 200 mm, or 200 x 100 mm configuration, go to "STEP 3: Option 2 - Attaching the

STEP 4 - Determine wall-mount location

Note:

• For more detailed information on determining where to drill your holes, visit our online height-finder at:

http://mf1.bestbuy.selectionassistant.com/index.php/heightfinder

• Your TV should be high enough so your eyes are level with the middle of the screen. Normally, 40 to 60 inches

from the ground.

When your television is in a position closest to the wall and the arm assembly is horizontal, the center of your

television will be 13" to the left or right of the center of the wall plate (A). Before you drill holes in the wall:

1 Measure the distance from the bottom of your TV to the middle (half of the height of the TV). This is

measurement a.

2 Measure the distance from the floor to where you want the bottom of the TV to be positioned on the wall

when the arm assembly is horizontal. Keep in mind that this TV mount allows for 13" of travel in all directions

from the center of the wall plate. Your TV should be mounted in a position that will not cause it to come in

contact with furniture, or items placed on top of furniture (like a Blu-ray player or cable box). This is

measurement b.

3 Add a + b. This measurement is the height where you want the center of your TV to be.

4 Measure 13" to the left OR right of the a + b measurement position. This will be the desired position for the

center of the wall plate. This is measurement c.

5 Use a pencil to mark this spot on the wall.

STEP 5 - Option 1: Installing on a wood stud wall

Note: Any wallboard or material covering the wall must not exceed 5/8" (16 mm).

1 Locate the stud. Verify the center of the stud with an edge-to-edge stud finder.

2 Align the wall plate (A) at the height you determined in the previous step and make sure that it is level. Use a

pencil to mark the lag bolt hole locations (2) on the stud centers. Remove the wall plate.

3 Drill pilot holes to a depth of 2-3/4 in. (70 mm) using a 7/32 in. (5.5 mm) diameter drill bit.

4 Align the wall plate (A) with the pilot holes, insert the lag bolts (W-A) through the holes in the wall plate,

then tighten the lag bolts only until they are firm against the wall plate.

CAUTION: Avoid potential injuries or property damage!

DO NOT over-tighten the lag bolts (W-A).

STEP 5 - Option 2: Installing on a solid concrete wall

1 Align the wall plate (A) at the height you determined in the previous step and make sure that it is level. Use a

pencil to mark the lag bolt hole locations (2). Remove the wall plate.

2 Drill pilot holes to a depth of 2-3/4 in. (7 mm) using a 3/8 in. (10 mm) diameter masonry drill bit.

3 Insert the concrete wall anchors (W-B) into the pilot holes and use a hammer to make sure the anchors are

flush with the concrete surface.

4 Align the wall plate (A) with the anchors, insert the lag bolts (W-A) through the holes in the wall plate, then

tighten the lag bolts only until they are firm against the wall plate.

CAUTION: Avoid potential injuries or property damage!

DO NOT over-tighten the lag bolts (W-A).

STEP 8 - Adjusting the vertical position, the tilt, and the horizontal position

Important! You will need to adjust this product after installation is complete.

Make sure all your equipment is properly installed on the product before adjusting. This product should move

smoothly and easily through the full range of motion and stay where you set it. If movements are too easy or diffcult or

if product does not stay in desired position, follow the adjustment instructions to create smooth and easy movements.

NOTE: Depending on your product and the type of adjustment, it may take many turns to notice a difference.

Any time equipment is added or removed from this product, resulting in a change in the weight of the mounted load,

you should repeat these adjustment steps to ensure safe and optimum operation.

1 To increase or decrease the lift tension setting, use the 4mm Allen wrench (P-A).

2 To increase or decrease the tilt tension setting, use the 4mm Allen wrench (P-A).

3 Using the 2.5mm Allen wrench (P-B) adjust the tension of the horizontal movement. If this product moves

too easily from side-to-side, increase the tension (+). If the product is too difficult to move from side-to-side,

decrease the tension (-).
