Display/TV Placement

Before installing the Gabor Full Swing Mount, you will need to determine the placement of your display and identify surrounding support structures for attachment.

The best height for a display is at the viewer's eye level. You can find this height in one of two ways.

1. Measure the distance from the seating area to the viewing area. The ideal position is when the center of the display (where the diagonals meet) is as close as possible to eye level.
   OR
2. Cut a piece of sturdy cardboard that's approximately the same size as your display. Use the cardboard to find a comfortable height, and mark the mounting location with a pencil.

Attaching the Display Brackets

Selecting the Right VESA Mounting Hardware for Your Display

A variety of screws are included to fit VESA standards on the backs of most displays. Select the M5, M6, or M8 screws and washers that best fit your display. Hand-thread the screws to determine the correct diameter.

Install the brocket directly to your display.

If Your Display Has Recessed Mounting or a Curved Back:

Install the spacers between the bracket and your display. You can combine spacers to best fit your display. Then fasten with the screws and washers until secure.

Attaching the Wall Bracket to Wooden Studs

Wooden studs run vertically inside the wall, 15 inches apart, behind the drywall or plaster. The wall brocket must be mounted to a wooden stud, or the brocket could fall out and damage your display or cause personal harm.

1. Use a stud finder to locate the edges of the wooden stud, and mark the center.

1. Use a 1/4-inch (6 mm) wood drill bit to predrill the four anchor locations as shown, 3.5 inches (90 mm) deep, and then clean out the debris from the holes.

1. Place the wall bracket template up to the marked locations, and tape is to the wall. Use the provided bubble level to make sure the template is level before drilling. Use a pencil to mark the four locations as shown, and place a piece of tape over each mark.

1. Remove the template, and screw only the top two anchor screws into the wall, leaving a 5 mm gap between the wall and screw's head.

Attaching the Wall Bracket to Wooden Studs (cont.)

1. Seat the wall bracket onto the two anchor screws, using the two seating holes.

1. Screw in the top two anchor screws the rest of the way until secure. Use the wrench to further tighten the anchor screws, but do not overtighten.

2. Insert the bottom two anchor screws through the washers and the wall brackets' mounting holes, and screw them into the predrilled support holes until secure.

Attaching the Wall Bracket to Concrete

Warning! Make sure the concrete wall is solid and at least 8 inches (20 cm) thick. If the concrete exhibits cracks or other defects, this may result in failure of the concrete anchors and cause serious personal injury or damage to your display.

1. Place the wall bracket template up to the marked locations, and tape it to the wall. Use the provided bubble level to make sure the template is level before drilling. Use a pencil to mark the six locations as shown, and place a piece of tape over each mark.

2. Use a 1/2-inch (12 mm) concrete drill bit to predrill the marked spots 3.7 inches (95 mm) deep, and then clean out the debris from the holes.

Post-Installation Adjustment

Once your display is mounted on the wall bracket, you can fine-tune the horizontal level, tilt, pivot, and depth from the wall.

Horizontal Level

Loosen the four screws with the included crescent wrench as shown, and adjust the horizontal level +3° to -3°. Use the bubble level to make sure your display is level, and then tighten the screws until secure.

Tilt Angle

Loosen the ratchet handle, and tilt the display up or down 15^ to 15^ to fine-tune the viewing angle. Tighten the handle and screws as shown until secure.

Post-Installation Adjustment (cont.)

Display Pivot
Pivot your display up to 120° for flexible mouting in the corner of a room or around an object.

Display Depth
You can collapse or extend the mount so your display is 2.7 to 25 inches from the wall.

Cable Management

Run the power and A/V cables through cable concealment covers attached to the bottom of the mounting bracket extension arms. Widen the cover openings to slide the cables into the covers, and pull the cables through.
