Wood Stud Installation
THE FOLLOWING STEPS MUST BE PERFORMED BY TWO PEOPLE.
Wall Stud
Electronic
Stud Finder
Step 1. Determine the desired viewing location. Use a
stud nder to locate two studs closest to the
viewing location.
Step 2. Once the studs have been located, use a pencil
to mark the center of each stud.
Step 3. Drill a pilot hole at the marked location using a
power drill and a 1/4” drill bit.
1/4” Drill

Two people must perform the installation. One
person must hold the mount while the other person
levels the mount. The mount must remain in place
while the mounting hardware is tightened.
Only use 1/4” drill bit when drilling the
pilot holes.
A minimum of two (2) wall studs must be
used in the installation of this product.

Step 4. Level the mount.
Step 5. Align the mounting slot with the drilled hole.
Step 6. Insert and tighten one (1) 5/16” x 3” lag bolt and
at washer. Tighten using a 1/2” socket
wrench. Do not completely tighten the lag bolt
at this time.
Do NOT over-tighten lag bolts when
attaching the mount to the wall. Improper
installation may result in personal injury or
damage to property.
When determining viewing height, the center
of the TV should be at eye level while sitting in
an upright position. When using the flat panel
as room decoration, raise it to the point where
the bottom of the screen is at eye level while
sitting and the top is eye level when standing.

Step 10. Re-level the AM175.
Step 11. Using a 1/2” socket wrench, completely
tighten the two (2) upper lag bolts.
If the studs are 12” (304.8mm) apart, use three 3” (76.2mm) lag bolts for the upper mounting channel and three 3” (76.2mm)
lag bolts for the lower mounting channel. If the studs are 16”(406.4mm), 18” (457.2mm) or 24”(609.6mm) apart, use two 3”
lag bolts for the upper mounting channel and two 3” lag bolts for the lower mounting channel.
There will be a total of four (4) mounting
points (2 for the upper mounting channel and
2 for the lower mounting channel).

Insert a small straw or toothpick into the threaded
inserts found on the back of the at panel.
® Use a pencil to mark the depth of the threaded
insert on the small straw or toothpick.
¯ Mark the straw or toothpick 1/8” above the depth of
the threaded insert, as shown in Figure 1.
° Insert the small straw or toothpick into the remaining
threaded inserts to compare and verify their depth
using the straw or toothpick’s 1/8” allowance mark.
± Locate the correct diameter screw for the threaded
insert.
If the screw you selected is longer than the 1/8”
allowance mark on the small straw or toothpick,
as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3, do not use
this screw. The screw length must not bypass the
mark.
² Test each size of the screws provided.
The correct screws should thread easily into the
mounting point and not pull out when tension is
applied.
You must account for the bracket, spacers and
Griplate™ depths when using the Thread Depth
Indicator to measure the thread depth of your at
panel.

Universal Spacers Installation (optional)
The universal spacer may be stacked six (6) high, for a total stacking height of 1-1/2”. The universal spacers must be stacked in the
direction shown above. The universal spacers must be placed between the mounting bracket and the at panel.
The universal spacer will t M4, M5, M6 and M8 screws sizes.
If your at panel has uneven mounting points, or recessed
mounting points, please use the provided universal spacers.
The Griplates™ have M4, M5, M6 and M8 hole patterns to
t the hardware that your at panel requires.
