Attaching the Vertical Adjustment Bars
to the TV
DO NOT lay your TV face down when attaching
the Vertical Adjustment Bars. This can cause
permanent damage to your screen. Lean
it against a wall or other solid surface
so it remains vertically upright.
The television should be unplugged before
threading any bolt or screw into the back panel.
Your mounting system features 12 sets of screws of varying
diameter and length. Before attaching the adjustment
bars to your display, determine which screw set is correct
for your display.
TVs with at backs use a shorter screw without
a spacer. TVs with curved backs or recessed inserts
may require a longer screw with a spacer between
the TV and adjustment bars. Smaller M4, M5 or M6
screws require a square washer (supplied) between
the adjustment bar and each screw.
Locate the threaded inserts on your TV’s back panel. 1)
Thread a screw from the set into one of the inserts
to ensure it is the correct choice.
Thread screws through the adjustment bars into the 2)
TV inserts with the appropriate spacer and washer set,
if needed.
With a Phillips screwdriver, tighten the screws so the 3)
adjustment bars are rmly attached to the TV.
ENGLISH
13
DO NOT over tighten screws. Thread screws
carefully by hand before tightening. If you feel
any resistance, remove the screw immediately.
