Step 1: Mounting Monitor Brackets to a television with a Flat Back

First, determine the diameter of the Bolt (l,m,n,o) your TV requires by hand threading them into the threaded insert on the back of the TV. If you encounter any resistance stop immediately! Once you have determined the correct diameter, see the appropriate Diagram below. You will thread the Bolt through the appropriate Lock Washer (t,u,v,w), a Washer (z,aa), the Monitor Bracket (d) and finally into the TV. Make sure the Monitor Brackets are vertically centered and level with each other. Repeat process until each Monitor Bracket is secured to the TV with 2 bolts.

Note: For TVs with a curved back or any other obstruction See Step 2. After completing this step, proceed to Step 3.

Step 2: Mounting the Monitor Brackets to a television with a curved back or any other obstruction.

First, determine the diameter of the Bolt (p,q,r,s) your TV requires by hand threading them into the threaded insert on the back of the TV. If you encounter any resistance stop immediately! Once you have determined the correct diameter, see the appropriate Diagram below. You will thread the Bolt through the appropriate Lock Washer (t,u,v,w), a Washer (z,aa), the Monitor Bracket (d), a second Washer (z - M4/M5 diameter only), a Spacer (x,y), and finally into the TV. Make sure the Monitor Brackets are vertically centered and level with each other. Repeat the process until each Monitor Bracket is secured to the TV with 2 bolts.

Step 3: Add the Vise Assemblies to the Monitor Brackets:

Note: Do not overtighten the 1/4-20 Nut (cc). The Vise Assembly (e) should be able to rotate freely around the Carriage Bolt (bb).

Place the Vise Assembly (e) between the two sides of the Monitor Bracket (d) so that the two jaws point toward the set of 1” diameter holes and the allen bolt is facing away from the television as shown in the Detailed View of Diagram 3. Place a 2” Carriage Bolt (bb) through the square hole in the side of the Monitor Bracket, through the hole in the Vise Assembly, and then through the square hole in the other side of the Monitor Bracket also shown in Diagram 3. Next, tighten a 1/4-20 Nut (cc) onto the end of the 2” Carriage bolt. Repeat this step for the bottom of the Monitor Bracket. Finally, repeat these two steps for the second Monitor Bracket.

Step 4: Attach the Wall Plate: Wood Stud mounting options only.

Warning: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE LAG BOLTS! Tighten Lag Bolts (i) only until the Lag Bolt Washer (j) is pulled firmly against the Wall Plate (a).

Wood Stud Mounting: The Wall Plate (a) must be mounted to two wood studs at least 12" apart. Use a high quality stud sensor to locate two adjacent studs. It is a good idea to verify where the studs are located with an awl or thin nail as shown in Diagram 4a. Pre-drill a 2.5" deep hole in each stud at the desired height using a 3/16" drill bit. Make sure these holes are in the center area of the studs and level with each other. Use the Wall Plate as a template to mark the location of the second hole in each stud. Drill 2.5" deep holes using the 3/16" drill bit in the marked location. Attach the Wall Plate to the wall using four Lag Bolts (i) and four Lag Bolt Washers (j). Make sure the Wall Plate is oriented so the flat surface in the center of the plate is against the wall as shown in Diagram 4b.

Step 5: Attach the Arm Assembly to the Television

Warning: The 1” Diameter Tubes (c) must extend beyond the outside edges of both Monitor Brackets (d) and the Allen Bolts in all 6 Vise Assemblies (e) must be tightened for the installation to be safe!

First, orient each Vise Assembly (e) so that a 1” Diameter Tube (c) will pass through the 1” round hole in the Monitor Bracket (d) and then between the jaws of the Vise Assembly as shown in Diagram 5a. Insert a 1” Diameter Tube through the top hole in the first Monitor Bracket also shown in Diagram 5a. Repeat this step for the Bottom hole in the same Monitor Bracket.

Diagram 5a

Position the Arm Assembly (b) so that the hook shaped tab shown in the Detailed View of Diagram 5b is on the top. Line up the two 1” diameter holes in the bracket at the other end of the Arm Assembly with the with the 1” Diameter Tubes (c). Continue to push the 1” Diameter Tubes through the bracket on the Arm Assembly and then through the other Monitor Bracket (d). Again, make sure the Vise Assemblies on both the Arm Assembly and the second Monitor Bracket are oriented so that the 1” Diameter Tubes will pass between the jaws. Once the 1” Diameter Tubes are in place, tighten the allen bolts on the 4 Vise Assemblies in the two Monitor Brackets with the Allen Key (k) to lock the television to the mount. Next, slide the Arm Assembly into the desired position between the two Monitor Brackets and tighten the two remaining Vise Assemblies inside the Arm Assembly.

Note: Sanus recommends Arm Assembly to be centered between Monitor Brackets

Step 6: Hang the assembly onto the Wall Plate

Warning: This step may require 2 people to lift the assembly onto the Wall Plate! Sanus is not responsible for injury or damage.

Orient the Arm Assembly (b) so that the arm extends directly away from the television and the transfer bracket is parallel with the television. Some televisions may require 2 people to lift. Lift up the assembly and hook the transfer bracket onto the tab on the top of the Wall Plate (a) as shown in Diagram 6a. Adjust the transfer bracket side to side on the Wall Plate until it is in the desired location. Thread each Safety Bolt (dd) into one of the two holes in the bottom of the transfer bracket and tighten them with the Allen Key (k) so that they are behind the tab on the bottom of the Wall plate as shown in Diagram 6b.

Diagram 6a

Diagram 6b
Step 7: Leveling the Monitor

WARNING: Do NOT remove the Nut in Detailed View A or Detailed View B of Diagram 7! Doing so will cause the television to fall!

Once the television is mounted onto the Wall Plate (a), and the Safety Bolts (dd) are tight, it can be adjusted to level. Slightly loosen the two allen bolts on the back of the Arm Assembly (b). Once those two bolts are loosened, the television can be adjusted ± 6^ until level. When the television is level retighten the two allen bolts. The tilt can be adjusted by loosening the knobs and tilting the television. When you are done, tighten the knobs to hold the television in place. The Nuts in Detailed View A and Detailed View B can be slightly tightened or loosened to adjust the tension of the Arm Assembly.

Step 8: Wire Management

Before beginning wire management pull the television into the position as far from the wall as possible. Leave some slack in the cables so that during motion there is no added tension on the connectors. There are several places to attach wire management ties to keep cords out of the way. Wire Tie Clips (f) can be attached to the bottom of the pillow block with the Wire Tie Clip Screw (g) as shown in the Detailed View of Diagram 8. Wire Ties (h) can then be added to the Wire Tie Clips, and the holes in the sides of any of the Monitor Brackets (d).
