0:00 Introduction
0:21 This mount has all the components needed to install. Here are the items that come in the kit. The MAX weight of the TV that you are mounting should be no more than 132lbs.
1:43 You will need a tape measure that is long enough to find the center of the area where you will be hanging the TV.
1:59 This area is about 87 inches from the wall to the door edge. You will want to find the center at 43.5 inches
3:05 Start removing the factory mount screws on the back of the TV. There are four major screws to do this.
3:21 Start attaching the mounting frame on the back of the TV. There are two screws for each of the vertical brackets.
4:10 Here is what both sets of brackets should look like attached to the TV.
4:26 Attach the mounting plate to the horizontal brackets.
4:58 Measure from the original mark (top of the TV) 10 inches down and mark for the mounting bracket.
5:31 Mark the center of the stud. I used this little flat head screwdriver to make sure the wall stud was where it needed to be.
5:48 Place the lag screw and a washer supplied in the kit through the left upper slot of the wall bracket at your mark.
6:38 Poke a pilot hole for the next lag screw. I used the same small flat head screwdriver to verify where the wall stud was.
6:55 Start the lag screw with the flat washer supplied in the kit.
7:45 This is to demonstrate its ability to swing out, turn, and tilt the TV.
