attached hardware and components.

Use of an edge-to-edge stud fi nder is highly recommended. Based on their edges, draw a vertical line down each
stud’s center. Place wall plate on wall as a template. The top mounting slots should be located 3.9" below the
desired display center. Level plate, and mark the center of the four mounting holes. Make sure that the mounting
holes are on the stud centerlines. Drill six 3/16" (5 mm) dia. holes 3" (76 mm) deep. Make sure that the wall plate is
