Deciding the Swivel Setting Befre attaching the Swiveling Hk Plate yu need t decide which swivel setting is best fr yu. There are 3 different swivel settings which are shwn in Figure 4. Each setting has its wn advantages. The Center Pivt gives yu a lt f travel in each directin but has the thickest prfile (See Figure 1 fr Prfile Thicknesses). The Left and Right Pivts are the lwest prfile and can swing the farthest either t the right r the left, but nt bth. Figure 4, Maximum Travel f the 3 different Swivel Settings Install Vide at www.dynamicmunting.cm/install 4
Attaching Swiveling Hk Plate t Munt 1. The Swiveling Hk Plate needs t be attached t the Munt befre anything else can be dne. Once yu have decided which swivel setting wuld be the best fr yu, find the crrespnding Swivel Hles as shwn in Figure 5. 2. The Fasteners fr Attaching the Swiveling Hk Plate cme assembled n the Right r Left Pivt, if a different swivel setting is needed, simply remve the blt. 3. Once yu knw the hles that yu will use, slide the Swivel Pivt Blt thrugh the hles and washers frm the tp as shwn in Figure 6. D it frm the tp s that even if the nut cmes ff, the Blt cannt slide ut because f gravity. Sme hles may be tight, if s gently hammer the blt thrugh. 4. Tighten the Swivel Pivt Nut dwn with a 1/2" wrench until all the parts are cmpressed tgether and the Swivel Hk Plate takes a little effrt t turn, yu can adjust this effrt after the TV is munted n the wall. Use the 1/2 Open-Ended Wrench, which came with the munt, t hld the head f the Swivel Pivt Blt whle tightening. Figure 5 Swivel Hles (Tp View f Munt) Adjusting the Swivel Tensin After everything is munted t the wall; the TV is hung n the munt; and the cunterbalance and tilt are set, the amunt f effrt it takes t swivel the TV may need t be adjusted. Yu d this by tightening r lsening the Swivel Pivt Nut n the Swivel Pivt Blt. Access is easiest when the munt is in an ut psitin. D NOT ver-tighten; if it takes a lt f frce t turn the nut then the pivt is as tight as it can be, if yu tighten mre yu will start t bend the munt. Fr all swivel settings, if the TV desn t stay in the wanted swivel psitin, even after the pivt is tightened, the munt may be tilted t much, adjust tilt nearer t vertical.

Determining Where t Put Munt 1. Extra thught and planning is needed when munting ver a shelf; see the Abve Shelf Munting sectin n page 11 fr mre details and relevant dimensins. Find the needed distances [H] and [C] fr yur shelf depth [D]. 2. T find ut hw the munt relates t the televisin yu shuld d a test fitting n the grund. 3. If attaching a speaker lay that ut als with the speaker bracket. 4. Figure 7 and Figure 8 shws the imprtant things t lk fr and measure. 5. The bttm f the TV Hanger, and the bttm f the munt, is the same height. 6. If munting ver a shelf, make sure the [H] and [C] minimum distances are satisfied.

Attaching TV Hangers t Televisin The TV Hangers and crssbars cme attached t the munt s yu can see hw they attach t the Hk Plate. Yu will have t remve the TV hangers and crssbars frm the munt befre attaching t the back f the TV. Fr TVs with hle patterns spaced 400mm apart yu d nt need the crssbars. Cnnect TV directly t the TV Hangers Fr TVs with hle patterns spaced less than 400mm apart, yu will need the crssbars. Cnnect the crssbars t the TV, the crssbars have ntches fr standard VESA hle patterns. Then cnnect the crssbars t the TV Hangers.

Cnditins fr Munting t Wall 1. The TV must be centered n the munt t avid leaning. 2. The munt is designed t attach t standard 2 x 4 r larger wall studs. If the wall isn t sturdy enugh then mre supprt will need t be added, cnsult an expert. 3. The munt must be securely fastened t a structure that can supprt 4 times the ttal weight f the televisin and munt. Dynamic Munting assumes n respnsibility fr damage frm an imprperly installed munt. 4. The munting hles need t be in the center f the studs, use a stud finder as needed. 5. 2 lag screws are needed in the tp slts f the munt and 2 in the bttm slts. 6. 2 lag screws need t be n each side f the center f the munt and the center f gravity f the televisin. 7. Yu can duble check these cnditins are meant by; Using the munt as a template, r Dwnlading and printing the Wall Munt Template ff f the website, r The cardbard bx the munt ships in has an utline f the bracket that attaches t the wall, cut ut t use.

Warning!: D Nt Let G f the TV Until the Mtin has stpped n its Own. Psitins Munt Will Stay At The Slim Dwn and Out Swivel Munt has a range f psitins the munt will hld the TV at. The general range is shwn in Figure 13. The munt can always stay in the tp psitin. Frm the tp psitin dwn 12 the munt can be set t stay but the angle may nt be vertical and the TV will nt have a wide range f psitins t stay at. The Munt really isn t designed t hld the TV in this range. Frm 12 t all f the way dwn the munt can be set t stay in a wide range f psitins. Depending n the weight f yur TV the range will vary. Fr lighter TVs (60 lbs and under) the munt may stay in the entire bttm range. Fr Heavier TVs (80 lbs and ver) the munt may nly have a range f abut 8. Mving the Televisin Up and Dwn If the cunterbalance is set up crrectly the TV shuld be able t be lifted all f the way up int the tp/lcked psitin with reasnable effrt. T unlck frm this psitin pull ut n the bttm f the televisin. T get the televisin all the way t the bttm psitin yu may need t push dwn n the televisin. If the TV pps back up frm the desired bttm psitin, reduce the cunterbalance frce. Typically, the frce t lift the TV all f the way up is apprximately 20-30% f the weight f TV. Figure 13, Psitins Munt Will Stay At Install Vide at www.dynamicmunting.cm/install 10
Abve Shelf Munting T get the lwest pssible bttm psitin when munting abve a shelf, it is very imprtant that yu put extra thught int the munting prcess. The Munt can clear shelves up t 16 deep. The TV Clearance Table shws the minimum clearance [C] needed between the shelf tp and the bttm f the TV (r the bttm f an attached speaker, whichever is lwer) fr the munt t swing arund the shelf. T find the clearance needed, find the shelf depth [D], in this example 8, and g dwn the clumn and find the crrespnding minimum clearance height [C], which is 2.5. Figure 8 shws where t measure [C] and [H]. Figure 14 and the Munt Travel Table shws yu hw much dwnward travel yu will get with different shelf depths and heights abve the shelf. Fr example, t find the dwnward travel [T] when yu have an 8 shelf depth [D] and yu attach the bttm f the munt 6 abve the shelf [H]. First find the crrespnding [D] and lk dwn the clumn and find the clsest [H], which in this case is 5.75. Nw g left alng the rw and find the crrespnding Travel [T]. In this case yu will get a dwnward travel f apprximately 26. Tips t get the lwest pssible bttm psitin Get the tp f the munt and the tp f the TV t be as clse as pssible. Typically yu ll get the lwest bttm psitin by being near the minimum clearance shwn in the TV Clearance Table. Getting the mst travel pssible ut f the munt, desn t mean yu ll get the lwest pssible bttm psitin. Fr example, fr an 8 shelf, t g frm 28 f travel, t 30 f travel, yu have t raise the munt up 6.5. S yur new bttm psitin is actually 4.5 higher. Figure 14, Shelf Clearance Drawing Install Vide at www.dynamicmunting.cm/install 11
Adjusting the Cunterbalance The Munt cmes ut f the bx set arund the 65 LB TV setting and will need t be adjusted fr the munt t wrk prperly with yur televisin. T adjust the cunterbalance, turn the bttm f the cunterbalance screw with a 9/16 bx r ratcheting wrench, see Figure 16. This mves the Cunterbalance Blck up and dwn. The apprximate cunterbalance blck settings fr varius televisin weights are shwn in Figure 15. In Figure 15 the cunterbalance is apprximately set fr a 65 Pund Televisin. T be able t mve the munt withut a TV n it, yu need t mve the Cunterbalance Blck t the Minimum Cunterbalance Frce. At this setting it will still take 15 t 20 punds f effrt t mve the munt which is harder than yu think. Yu shuld secure it t smething t get the munt t mve. Once yu put a TV n the munt, everything will wrk much better. Figure 15, Cunterbalance Settings Detail frm Figure 8. Figure 16, Adjusting Cunterbalance Bump Stp T help prevent the munt frm ver traveling, there is an adjustable Bump Stp n the munt. The Bump Stp is nt made t hld any lad, the cunterbalance shuld be set t hld the lad when in cntact with the Bump Stp. T test this just lift the TV up a little abve the Bump Stp and make sure the munt stays in psitin. T Tighten and lsen, hld the Screw with a Screwdriver still, and use a 7/16 Wrench t turn the nut. When turning the nut, clckwise is t tighten. Adjust bth f the Bump Stps n each side fr best perfrmance. Figure 17, Bump Stp Install Vide at www.dynamicmunting.cm/install 12
Setting the Tilt in the Tp Psitin In the tp psitin the munt tilts frm vertical t abut 7 degrees (Figure 2 and Figure 3). T set the angle, put the munt in the ut psitin fr easier access and s there isn t any frce n the cam. Adjust the Tp Tilt Cam by remving the tp Tilt Adjustment Blt (Figure 19) and putting it int a different set f hles and hand tighten with ne nut. Apprximate tilt settings are shwn in Figure 19. There is a cam n bth sides f the munt, use the Tp Tilt Alignment Marks and hles t ensure they are at the same psitin. Mve the munt up and see if the tilt is crrect, if nt change the psitin f the cams, it will prbably take a few times t get the tilt perfect. If yu get a lt f resistance when trying t push the munt t the Tp psitin, the Cam is set fr t much up tilt and yu will need t lessen it. Once yu have the desired psitin, tighten bth nuts with a 7/16 bx wrench and Philips screwdriver. Setting the Tilt in the Bttm and Out Psitins In the bttm and ut psitin the munts tilt can be set Vertical +/-1 degree. T adjust, lsen up the 2 Bttm Tilt Lck Nuts with a 7/16 bx wrench. Next mve the 2 Bttm Tilt Adjustment Blts in and ut with the 7/16 bx wrench until the munt is at the desired tilt, lck dwn the lcknuts when satisfied with the tilt. Figure 18, Tilt Adjust Hardware Figure 19, Tp Tilt Cam Settings Rubber Bumpers T help avid damage t the fireplace shelf, attach the Adhesive Rubber Bumpers t the bttm f the TV munt where it wuld cme in cntact. This shuldn t be a prblem thugh if the Cunterbalance and Bump Stp are setup crrectly.
