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!

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.

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].

- Pilot holes MUST be drilled to a depth of 75 mm (3 in.) using a 10 mm (3/8 in.) diameter drill bit

■ Never drill into the mortar between blocks

Insert lag bolt anchors [27]. Then insert lag bolts [29] through the washers [28], the wall plate [03], and into the anchors.

CAUTION: Improper use could reduce the holding power of the lag bolt. To avoid potential injuries or property damage:
Be sure the anchors [27] are seated flush with the concrete surface
* Tighten the lag bolts [29] only until the washers [28] are pulled firmly against the wall plate [03]

DO NOT over-tighten the lag bolts [29]

3-1 Mark the wall and drill pilot holes
