Installation Manual - Articulating Tilt MountsFastening the Mounting Plate to the Wall

Determine the exact mounting location for the wall mounting plate prior to the installation, considering the swing of the articulating arm.

The plate must be secured to the CENTER of the wall studs capable of supporting at least (4) times the weight of the display and AM mount. The wall plate should be mounted at the same horizontal center line as the desired display center line (viewing horizontal center line). Remove the (4) 3/8-16 hex head screws and washers holding the wall plate to the arm assembly (this will make marking the holes easier). Position the wall mounting plate to the desired position. Mark and Pre-drill a 3/16” (5mm) hole for the lag bolts. Using the six lag bolts and washers supplied, level and secure the mounting plate to the center of the wall studs. The wall mounting plate must be level left and right to prevent the display from creeping from the wall. Fig. 2

After attaching the wall mounting plate to the wall, re-attach the articulating arm using the hardware previously removed. Using the different slots will aid in centering the mount to the desired position left or right of center. FIG 2a

With the help of a friend:

Lift the TV with the arms attached on to the wall mount and center the TV on the mounting plate.

Insert Secure Set Wings into the slot in the display arm. (See Fig 4)

Center the TV on the mounting plate and tight-en the screws on the set wings. Care should be taken not to over tighten screws.

Attach the cable brackets on the top and middle tube using the supplied Phillips head screws. Failure to do so could allow the long shaft to loosen and fall out. Check cable position to make sure cable is not pinched when the mount is opened or closed.

Adjusting tension: While SkyVue takes extra efforts to set proper tension to the Articulating

mounts, below are instructions for manual adjustments.

The tension bolt adjustments may be necessary to keep the TV from creeping from the desired location. Loosen the screw and lift the screw-lock tab and swing to the side.

Using two 7/16 wrenches, tighten the tension bolts until enough tension is applied to keep the TV from creeping from the set location. Make sure to replace the screw and lock tab . Failure to replace could result in the tension bolt and shaft falling out. Tighten the tension bolts to suit the weight of the TV.
