Frequently Asked Questions - VLFS820 SANUS

What is the maximum weight supported by the SANUS VLFS820 wall mount?

The SANUS VLFS820 wall mount can support a TV weighing up to 56.6 kg (125 lb).

What types of walls can I install this mount on?

This mount is designed for installation on wood studs, solid concrete, or concrete blocks. Do not install it alone on drywall.

What tools are required for installation?

You will need a measuring tape, a pencil, a level, a screwdriver, a power drill, a 13 mm socket wrench, a stud finder, a 5.5 mm awl, and a wood drill bit (for wood studs) or a 10 mm concrete drill bit and a hammer (for concrete).

How to attach the mounting brackets to the TV?

Select the screw size suitable for your TV (usually the same size). Use short screws if the back is flat, or long screws with spacers if the back is irregular or needs more space. Tighten screws by hand, without power tools, to avoid over-tightening.

Can I adjust the tilt of the TV after installation?

Yes, the mount allows tilt adjustment. If the TV tilts naturally up or down, loosen the Ⓣ screws, adjust the angle, then retighten. You can also tighten the screws to prevent unwanted movement.

How to adjust the height of the TV?

Loosen the locking screw 13, adjust the TV height, then retighten the screw. Make sure it is tight to hold the TV in place.

Can I shift the TV laterally?

Yes, for installation on wood studs only. You must remove the TV, open the covers, remove screws 12, slide the arm to the desired position, then secure with screws 12. For concrete, the arm must remain centered.

How to manage cables with this mount?

The arm can be fully extended to leave enough slack for cables. Make sure not to stretch the cables when moving the arm.

How to remove the TV from the mount?

You will need assistance because the TV is heavy. Follow the reverse procedure of installation: loosen locking screw 13, lift the TV to unhook it from the arm.

What should I do if I need to install the mount on concrete?

For concrete installation, you will need the #CMK1 kit (not included). Contact customer service. Drill 10 mm holes into concrete (not mortar), insert anchors, attach the wall plate with lag bolts. The arm must remain centered on the plate.

The Ground Truth image displays a single, solid horizontal line. According to Rule 2 (UNDERSCORE & LINE RULES), this is a stylistic or background line, not a placeholder underscore. Therefore, the OCR result must ignore it. The provided OCR content is "____", which consists of four underscores. This is an incorrect interpretation of the line as a placeholder, violating the rule that stylistic lines must be ignored. The OCR has hallucinated underscores where none should exist based on the GT's visual context. Hence, the OCR result is inconsistent with the Ground Truth.
