Step-by-Step Guide to Mounting Your TV
Step 1: Gather Your Tools and Materials
Before starting, ensure you have the following:
- Elephant Anchors Metal Stud Advance Tilt TV Mount
- Stud finder
- Power drill
- Level
- Tape measure
- Pencil
- Screwdriver
- Safety goggles
Step 2: Locate the Metal Studs
Use a stud finder to locate the metal studs in your wall. Metal studs are typically spaced 16, 21, or 24 inches apart. Mark the center of each stud with a pencil.
Step 3: Mark the Mounting Holes
Hold the wall plate of the TV mount against the wall, aligning it with the marked studs. Use a level to ensure it’s straight, then mark the locations of the mounting holes on the wall.
Step 4: Drill the Pilot Holes
Put on your safety goggles and use a power drill to create pilot holes at the marked locations. These holes will guide the toggle bolts into the metal studs.
Step 5: Install the Toggle Bolts
Insert the provided toggle bolts through the holes in the wall plate, then push them into the pilot holes. Once the toggle bolts are in place, tighten them with a screwdriver until the wall plate is securely attached to the wall.
Step 6: Attach the TV to the Mount
With the wall plate securely in place, it’s time to attach the brackets to the back of your TV. Follow the instructions provided with the mount to ensure the brackets are correctly positioned. Once attached, lift the TV and carefully hook the brackets onto the wall plate.
Step 7: Adjust and Secure
After mounting the TV, check that it’s level and adjust the tilt and swivel to your preferred viewing angle. Finally, tighten the safety screws to keep the TV securely in place.
