Proper installation is crucial for the safety and stability of your television. This mount is designed for quick and easy installation, but it is essential to follow all instructions carefully. Always ensure the mount is secured to solid wall studs (wood or metal) or concrete.

• Assess Wall Structure: Identify the location of wall studs. The mount's wide wall plate is compatible with both 16-inch and 24-inch stud spacing. Do not install on drywall alone without securing to studs.

5. Vedligeholdelse

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your Mount-It! TV mount.

• Periodisk eftersyn: Annually, or more frequently if the mount is often adjusted, inspect all bolts and connections (both at the wall and at the TV) to ensure they remain tight and secure.
• Rensning: Clean the mount with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these can damage the finish.
• Smøring: If the articulating arms become stiff over time, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the pivot points. Do not use oil-based lubricants.

6. Fejlfinding

If you encounter issues with your Mount-It! TV mount, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• TV Appears Unlevel:
  • Ensure the wall plate was installed perfectly level.
  • Utilize the mount's built-in level adjustment feature to fine-tune the TV's horizontal position.
  • Check that all tilt and leveling screws on the TV brackets are properly tightened.
• Beslaget føles løst eller vakkelvornt:
  • Immediately re-check all lag bolts securing the wall plate to the wall studs. Ensure they are fully tightened.
  • Verify that the mount is indeed secured into solid wood studs or concrete, not just drywall.
  • Confirm that the TV brackets are securely attached to the TV and to the mount's arms.
• Difficulty Moving Articulating Arm:
  • Ensure no cables are caught or obstructing the movement of the arms.
  • Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the pivot points if movement is stiff.
• Cables Are Too Short for Full Extension:
  • For maximum extension and articulation, longer HDMI, power, and other media cables may be required. Consider purchasing cables that are 10-15 feet in length.
