Deciding the Swivel Setting

Before attaching the Swiveling Hook Plate you need to decide which swivel setting is best for you. Thereare 4 different swivel settings which are shown inFigure 3. Each setting has its own advantages. The OutPivot gives you a lot of travel in each direction but has the thickest profile (SeeFigure 1 for ProfileThicknesses). The Back Pivot has a lower profile then the Out Pivot and gives +/-15 degrees of travel bothways. The Left and Right Pivots are the lowest profile and can swing the farthest either to the right or theleft, but not both.

Attaching Swiveling Hook Plate to Mount

The Swiveling Hook Plate needs to be attached to the Mount before anything else can be done. Once youhave decided which swivel setting would be the best for you, find the corresponding Swivel Holes asshown inFigure 4. Once you know the holes that you will use slide the Swivel Pivot Bolt through the holesand washers from the top as shown inFigure 5. Do it from the top so that even if the nut comes off theBolt cannot slide out because of gravity. The bolt should engage the parts in this order;

top hole in Swivel Hook Plate,

5/16 inch Washer, top hole in the mount, bottom hole in the mount, 5/16 inch Washer, bottom hole in Swivel Hook Plate, Swivel Pivot Nut.

Some holes may be tight, if so gently hammer the bolt through. Tighten the Swivel Pivot Nut down with a1/2 wrench until all the parts are compressed together and the Swivel Hook Plate takes a little effort toturn, you can adjust this effort after the TV is mounted on the wall. Use the 1/2 inch Open-EndedWrench, which came with the mount, to hold the head of the Swivel Pivot Bolt whole tightening.

Figure 5 Swivel Bolt (Side View of Mount)

Adjusting the Swivel Tension

After everything is mounted to the wall; the TV is hung on the mount; and the counterbalance and tilt areset, the amount of effort it takes to swivel the TV may need to be adjusted. You do this by tightening orloosening the Swivel Pivot Nut on the Swivel Pivot Bolt. Access is easiest when the mount is in an out

position. Do NOT over-tighten; if it takes a lot of force to turn the nut then the pivot is as tight as it canbe, if you tighten more you will start to bend the mount. For all swivel settings if the TV doesnt stay inthe wanted swivel position, even after the pivot is tightened, the mount may be tilted too much, adjusttilt nearer to vertical.

Attaching Arms to Television

1. Use the Fasteners for Mounting the television to the Attach Arms for this. To get maximum clearancearound mantels, the Attach Arms should be mounted as high as possible on the television. If the

Attach Arms are visible from the front, lower them until they are hidden.

2. Your television will either have M6 or M8 threaded holes. If your television has M6 holes then use theM6 washers included under the head of the M6 machine screw. When installing the arms you want asmuch screw engagement into the television as possible without going too far and bottoming out thescrew in the television. "Bottoming out" is when the screw can not turn any farther because thebottom of the screw is hitting something inside the television. If this occurs, DO NOT tighten anymore! "Bottoming out" can cause damage to the television. Use a combination of spacers, washersand screws to ensure you get the most thread engagement without bottoming out. Every television isdifferent, you may need to provide your own washers or screws to get the ideal attachment. Aminimum thread engagement of 8mm (.32in) into the television is required to ensure the television isproperly supported.

3.

At minimum there should be a plastic washer between the Attach Arms and the television. The AttachArms should not touch the television directly in any location. Refer to Figure 3 to see how the AttachArms should be attached.

Mounting To Wall

1. The mount is designed to attach to standard 2in x 4in or larger wall studs spaced 16in apart. If thewall isnt sturdy enough then more support will need to be added, consult an expert.

2. The mount must be securely fastened to a structure that can support 4 times the total weight of thetelevision and mount. Dynamic Mounting assumes no responsibility for damage from an improperlyinstalled mount.

Above Mantel Mounting

To get as much downward travel as possible when mountingabove a mantel it is very important that you put extrathought into the mounting process. In general, the higherthe Down and Out Swivel Mount is above the mantel themore downward travel you will get. Also, the lower thetelevision is attached on the mount, the higher the Downand Out Swivel Mount can be mounted to the wall.

Figure 8 and the table below can be used together to figureout how much downward travel you will get with differentmantel depths and heights above the mantel. The smallertable tells you the minimum height the television needs tobe mounted above the mantel.

For example, you want to find the downward travel [T]when you have a 9 inch mantel depth [D] and you mountthe bottom of the mount 5 inches above the mantel [H].First find the corresponding [D] and look down the columnand find the closest [H], which in this case is 5.75in and4.75in. Round up to be on the safe side to 5.75 inches [H].Now go left along the row and find the corresponding Travel[T]. In this case you will get a downward travel of at least25.5 inches.

Figuring out the clearance needed between the bottom ofthe television and the mantel in the up position [C] toensure the television will not hit the mantel is much easier.Simply find the mantel depth [D], in this example 9 inches,and go down the column and find the corresponding height,which is 2.75 inches.

Note: All measurements shown on Dynamic Mounting are approximate. The measurements could varydepending on how the mount is setup, manufacturing tolerances, and the weight of the television.

Attaching the television to the Down and Out Swivel Mount

After the above steps are finished you are ready to put the television on the mount.

1. Adjust the counterbalance to the approximate force to handle the weight of your television. See theAdjusting the Counterbalance section for more details. If in doubt, error to the counterbalancesupplying too much force.

2. Make sure that the Top Tilt Adjustment Bolt is loose and ensure the Top Tilt Cam is free to move, itshould come loose out of the box. See the Setting the Tilt section for more details.

4. As you are hooking the Attach Arms over the Hook Plate, push in on the bottom of the TV to ensurethat it locks in the top position.

5. If the mount doesnt lock in the top position, the weight of the TV will cause the mount to come downuntil the counterbalance takes the load or the mount runs out of travel, while this is happening simplyguide the TV down until it stops. Do NOT let go of the TV until it stops on its own.

6. Before positioning the television side to side, insert the 2 #10 x 7/8 inch long machine screws withwasher through the Hook Plate and into the Attach Arms finger tight to ensure the television will notfall off. Adjust the television to where you want it. Tighten the screws down with a screwdriver.

7. Adjust the counterbalance so that the television can be moved around as easily as possible but still beable to stay in the desired bottom position. See the Adjusting the Counterbalance section for moredetails.

Adjusting the Counterbalance

The counterbalance comes out of the box set for maximum force and will need to be adjusted for themount to work properly with your television. To adjust the counterbalance, turn the top or the bottom othe counterbalance screw with a 9/16 inch box or ratcheting wrench, see Figure 10. This moves theCounterbalance Block up and down. The approximate counterbalance block settings for various televisionweights are shown in Figure 10. In Figure 10 the counterbalance is approximately set for a 65 PoundTelevision. To be able to move the mount without a TV on it, you need to move the Counterbalance Block

to the Minimum Counterbalance Force; at this setting it will still take 15 to 20 pounds of effort to movethe mount.

Figure 10 Counterbalance SettingsDetail fromFigure 9

Moving the Television Up and Down

If the counterbalance is set up correctly the TV should be able to be pushed all of the way up into thetop/locked position with reasonable effort. To unlock from this position simple pull out on the bottom othe television. To get the television all the way to the bottom position you may need to push down on thetelevision. If the TV pops back up from the desired bottom position, reduce the counterbalance force.

Setting the Tilt

In the top position the mount tilts from vertical to about 7 degrees. To set the angle, put the mount inthe out position for easier access and so there isnt any force on the cam. Adjust the Top Tilt Cam to thedesired position and tighten with a 1/2 inch box wrench. There is a cam on both sides of the mount, usethe Top Tilt Alignment Marks to ensure they are at the same position. Move the mount up and see if thetilt is correct, if not change the position of the cams, it will probably take a few times to get the tiltperfect. If you get a lot of resistance when trying to push the mount to the Top position, the Cam is setfor too much up tilt and you will need to lessen it.

Figure 11 Tilt Adjust(Detail fromFigure 9)

To adjust the bottom position tilt you first need to loosen up the 2 Bottom Tilt Lock Nuts with a 7/16 inchbox wrench. Next move the 2 Bottom Tilt Adjustment Bolts in and out with the 7/16 inch box wrench untithe mount is at the desired tilt, lock down the locknuts when satisfied with the tilt.
