Supplied Parts and Hardware

⚠ WARNING: This product contains small items that could be a choking hazard if swallowed.

Before starting assembly, verify all parts are included and undamaged. If any parts are missing or damaged, do not return the damaged item to your dealer; contact Customer Service. Never use damaged parts!

NOTE: M4, M5, M6, or M8 describes the diameter, mm describes the length of screws that are labeled M# X ##mm. Not all hardware included will be used.

1 Select TV Hardware

Hand thread screws into the threaded inserts on the back of your TV to determine the correct screw diameter (M4, M5, M6, or M8). Try using a screw alone first. If you need more space, try a screw with a spacer.

CAUTION: Avoid potential personal injuries and property damage! Using hardware that is too long may damage your TV. If you encounter resistance, stop immediately and contact customer service.

1-1 Attach bracket to TV

For TVs with a flat back. Ensure that the bracket is level on the back of the TV. Standard configurations are shown. If you need extra space to accommodate cables, recesses, or protrusions, see an installation option (1-2 or 1-3) that uses spacers. For special applications, or if you are uncertain about your hardware selection, contact Customer Service.

For TVs with an irregular/obstructed back. Ensure that the bracket is level on the back of the TV. Standard configurations are shown. For special applications, or if you are uncertain about your hardware selection, contact Customer Service.

2 Prepare the Wall Plate for Mounting

Slide the arms of the wall plate [03] together and insert the slide lock [26] into place. This will lock the arms into full extension making the wall plate mounting and TV attachment easier.

Install the locking screws [25] into the sides of the face plate using the M3 hex key [32]. Screw in only until the end of the screw is flush with the inside of the plate. This will allow the TV to be mounted without interference.

3 Mount the Wall Plate (Wood stud)

3-1 Locate studs and mark the wall

Verify the center of the stud(s) using an awl, a thin nail, or an edge to edge stud finder.

CAUTION: Avoid potential personal injuries and property damage!

Drywall covering the wall must not exceed 16 mm (5/8 in.)
Minimum wood stud size: common 51 x 102 mm (2 x 4 in.) nominal 38 x 89 mm ( 1^1/2 x 3^1/2 in.)
Minimum horizontal space between lag bolts: 41 cm (16 in.).

For assistance in determining wall plate location, see Height Finder at sanus.com. Level the wall plate template, [01] and mark the hole locations.

3-2 Drill pilot holes and tighten lag bolts

CAUTION: Avoid potential injuries or property damage! Pilot holes MUST be drilled to a depth of 75 mm (3 in.), using a 5.5 mm (7/32 in.) diameter drill bit.

CAUTION: Improper use could reduce the holding power of the lag bolt. To avoid potential injuries or property damage:

DO NOT over-tighten the lag bolts [29].
- Tighten the lag bolts [29] only until the washers [28] are pulled firmly against the wall plate [03].
