Thread Depth Indicator

Step 1. Insert the thread depth indicator (supplied) through the thread inserts found on the back of the flat panel to make sure

the inserts measure the same full depth and mark it (Figure 1).

Step 2. Locate the correct diameter screw for the thread insert. Compare your marking to the screws (supplied).

Step 3. If your selected screw is longer than the marking on the thread depth indicator, DO NOT USE this screw.

Step 4. The screw length must not bypass the marking. Select another screw size (Figure 2 and 3), until you find one that comes

closest to your mark without going past.

Installation Instructions Page 7

For ease of installation, it is recommended that two people perform the installation. One person should hold the mount

while the other person installs the lag bolt and washer. Making sure that the mount is level, the person not holding the

mount must mark and drill the second mounting hole and secure the second lag bolt and washer.

Mount Installation

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3

Step 4 Step 5 Step 6

If the studs are 12” (304.8mm) apart, use three 3” (76.2mm) lag bolts for the top rail and three 3” (76.2mm) lag bolts for

the lower rail. If the studs are 16”(406.4mm), 18” (457.2mm) or 24” (609.6mm) apart, use two 3” lag bolts for the top

rail and two 3” lag bolts for the lower rail.

THE FOLLOWING STEPS SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY TWO PEOPLE.

Do NOT over-tighten lag bolts when attaching the mount to the wall. Improper installation may result in personal

injury or damage to property.

Determine where to mount the

AM250/AM250-FLIP. Use a stud

finder to find the exact center of

each stud.

Once all of the studs have been located, use

a pencil to mark the spots. Place the mount

against the wall and align the mount to the

marked stud locations.

Using a 1/4” drill bit, drill a pilot

hole at the first aligned and marked

location.

If the studs are 12” apart, use three 3” lag bolts for the top row of mounting points and three 3” lag bolts for the lower row

mounting points. If the studs are 16”, 18” or 24” apart, use two 3” lag bolts for the top row of mounting points and two 3”

lag bolts for the lower row of mounting points.

After the pilot hole has been drilled, line

up the mounting slot opening to the drilled

hole.

Insert one (1) 5/16" x 3" lag bolt and

washer into the mounting hole and

tighten (see WARNING: below).

With the help of an assistant, place a level

on the center of the mounting rail and level

the mount. Mark and drill the second

mounting hole.

Insert one (1) 5/16" x 3" lag bolt and

washer into the mounting hole and tighten

(see WARNING: below). Repeat steps 5

and 6 for the remaining mounting points.

Universal Mounting Bracket Assembly

Step 1. Place the display on a soft, flat surface, face-down.

Step 2. Determine where the mounting points are located.

Step 3. Place the universal brackets over the mounting points.

If the mounting surface is not completely level, use the spacers (see Page 6) to ensure that the universal brackets are

level on the display.

Step 4. Once the desired position has been determined, place the Griplate™ over each mounting point (dimples facing

up) and secure them using the appropriate hardware (see Page 5).

For the two upper mounting points, the dimples (Griplate™) must be facing up. For the two lower mounting points,

the dimples (Griplate™) must be facing down.

Concrete Mounting

Concrete anchors must be used for concrete installation. They can be purchased at your local hardware store. The

mounting surface must be a minimum 6” thick.

Step 1. Begin by placing the mount into position against the wall, keeping it level.

Step 2. Mark off four holes to be used for securing the mount.

Step 3. Next, drill holes using a masonry bit for your anchors (recommended 5/16” masonry bit).

Step 4. Insert a commercially available concrete anchor into each hole (recommended 3/8” wedge anchors).

Step 5. If necessary, a hammer can be used to lightly tap each anchor into place so that they are flush with the wall.

Step 6. Once all of the anchors are in place, move the wall bracket into position.

Step 7. Attach the nut onto the threaded shaft that is protruding from the wall.

Step 8. Do not tighten until all nuts are in place.

Step 1. Place the universal brackets and the display

over the upper mounting bars of the AM250.

Step 2. Lower the universal mounting brackets

and display onto the mounting bars of the

AM250.

Step 3. This is what the two units will look like after

Securing and Leveling the Display

Once the brackets have been placed over the upper mounting bars on the AM250, use two (2) M6 x 30mm Phillips Head locking

screws to secure the brackets to the bottom of the mounting bars. This will prevent lateral shift movement. Level your flat panel

by installing the two additional M6 x 30mm Phillips Head screws to the upper bracket assembly as shown below. Once the display

is level, tighten the locking screws.

Tilt Positioning

TO ADJUST THE TILT TENSION OF THE AM250, LOOSEN THE TENSION BOLTS LOCATED ON THE BOTTOM

RIGHT AND LEFT SIDE OF THE MAIN ARM ASSEMBLY. RE-TIGHTEN THESE BOLTS TO ACHIEVE YOUR

DESIRED TENSION.

To adjust the tilt of the display, place a hand in the top middle of the display and the other hand at the bottom middle of the display.

To Tilt the Display Forward

Gently pull on the upper portion of the display while pushing the lower end of the display away from you. This motion will cause the

display to tilt forward.

To Tilt the Display Back

Gently push on the upper portion of the display and pull the lower end of the display towards you. This motion will cause the display

to tilt back.
