Frequently Asked Questions - MSS6000B Chief

What is the maximum weight capacity of the Chief MSS6000B mount?

The maximum weight capacity is 150 lbs (68.04 kg). Exceeding this can result in serious injury or equipment damage.

Can the MSS6000B be anchored to a wall or floor?

Yes, it can be anchored to a flat dry surface using four 1/4-20 cap screws (not provided). The mount also includes rubber bumpers for freestanding use.

How do I adjust the height of the display?

Loosen the four height adjustment screws while supporting the display, position it at the desired height, then tighten the screws securely. Ensure cables are not pinched.

What is the swivel range of the MSS6000B?

The display can swivel up to ±45 degrees. Optional swivel stops can be installed at 15°, 25°, or 35° to limit travel.

How do I adjust the swivel tension?

Remove the display, lay the mount on its back, and turn the three tension adjustment screws equal amounts clockwise to increase tension or counter-clockwise to decrease. Reinstall and test.

What tools are required for installation?

You will need a Phillips screwdriver, an open-ended wrench, and a hex-key wrench. Specific fastener sizes are detailed in the manual.

How do I secure the display to prevent theft?

The faceplate has holes for a padlock. Alternatively, you can use the pin and nut as a more permanent locking device by moving them to the lower holes.

Can I route cables through the mount?

Yes, the MSS6000B offers three cable management options: routing away from the mount (A), through the center and out the back (B), or through an access hole in the surface (C).

How do I remove the display from the mount?

First, remove any lock. Pull back the flag on the upper mounting hole and press the pin down to the 'Open' position. Then carefully lift the display off. Return the pin to 'Closed' after removal.

What should I do if my display is taller than 24 inches?

You need to reconfigure the mount by removing the slide plate assembly, moving the face plate to upper mounting holes, and reinstalling. This allows for tall displays. Follow the manual's step-by-step instructions.

Figure 5

1. Drill four 1/4" diameter holes through mounting surface at marks.
2. Secure mount to mounting surface using four 1/4-20 cap screws (not provided) with a length equal to the thickness of the mounting surface A plus 3/4". (See Figure 5)

Display Installation

The following procedure assumes that the proper interface bracket for the display being mounted has already been installed on the display.

If no interface bracket is present on display, install bracket to display using the instructions included with the interface bracket before proceeding.

If an interface bracket for the display being mounted needs to be obtained, or additional assistance is required, contact a Chief Customer Service representative.

NOTE: If the display being mounted has a height of more than 24" the mount needs to be modified prior to display installation. (See Display More Than 24 Inches High section.)

To install the display:

1. While supporting both sides of display, align four mounting buttons on display or interface bracket with four mounting holes in faceplate. (See Figures 6 & 7)
