Step 1: Mounting Monitor Brackets to a television with a Flat Back First, determine the diameter o the Bolt (n,o,p,q) your TV requires by hand threading them into the threaded insert on the back o the TV. I you encounter any resistance stop immediately! Once you have determined the correct diameter, see the appropriate Diagram below. You will thread the Bolt through the appropriate Lock Washer (v,w,x,y), a Washer (z,aa), the Monitor Bracket () and inally into the TV. Make sure the Monitor Brackets are vertically centered and level with each other. Repeat process until each Monitor Bracket is secured to the TV with 2 bolts. Note: For TVs with a curved back or any other obstruction See Step 2. M4 Diameter M6 Diameter z v n aa x p Diagram 1 M5 Diameter M8 Diameter z w o aa y q
Step 2: Mounting the Monitor Brackets to a television with a curved back or any other obstruction. First, determine the diameter o the Bolt (r,s,t,u) your TV requires by hand threading them into the threaded insert on the back o the TV. I you encounter any resistance stop immediately! Once you have determined the correct diameter, see the appropriate Diagram below. You will thread the Bolt through the appropriate Lock Washer (v,w,x,y), a Washer (z,aa), the Monitor Bracket (), through a Spacer (bb,cc) and inally into the TV. Make sure the Monitor Brackets are vertically centered and level with each other. Repeat the process until each Monitor Bracket is secured to the TV with 2 bolts.

Step 3: Add the Vise Assemblies to the Monitor Brackets: Note: Do not overtighten the 1/4-20 Nut. The Vise Assembly should be able to rotate reely around the Carriage Bolt. Place the Vise Assembly (e) between the two sides o the Monitor Bracket () so that the two jaws point toward the set o 1 diameter holes and the allen bolt is acing away rom the television as shown in the Detailed View o Diagram 3. Place a Carriage Bolt (g) through the square hole in the side o the Monitor Bracket, through the hole in the Vise Assembly, and then through the square hole in the other side o the Monitor Bracket also shown in Diagram 3. Next, tighten a 1/4-20 Nut (h) onto the end o the Carriage bolt. Repeat this step or the bottom o the Monitor Bracket. Finally, repeat these two steps or the second Monitor Bracket. Detailed View Diagram 3 allen bolt e g h Step 4: Attach the Axis Assembly to the Television Warning: The 1 Diameter Tubes must extend beyond the outside edges o both Monitor Brackets and the Allen Bolts in all 6 Vise Assemblies must be tightened or the installation to be sae! First, orient each Vise Assembly (e) so that a 1 Diameter Tube (d) will pass through the 1 round hole in the Monitor Bracket () and then between the jaws o the Vise Assembly. Insert a 1 Diameter Tube through the top hole in the irst Monitor Bracket as shown in Diagram 4. Repeat this step or the Bottom hole in the same Monitor Bracket. Diagram 4 d e
Step 5: Attach the Axis Assembly (cont) Position the Axis Assembly (c) so that the allen bolts are acing away rom the TV and the quick connect is on the top as shown in Diagram 5. Line up the two 1 diameter holes at the top and bottom o the Axis Assembly with the with the 1 Diameter Tubes (d). Continue to push the 1 Diameter Tubes through the Vise Assembly on the Axis Assembly and then through the other Monitor Bracket (). Again, make sure the Vise Assemblies on both the Axis Assembly and the second Monitor Bracket are oriented so that the 1 Diameter Tubes will pass between the jaws. Once the 1 Diameter Tubes are in place, tighten the allen bolts on the 4 Vise Assemblies in the two Monitor Brackets with the Allen Key (m) to lock the television to the mount. Next, slide the Axis Assembly into the desired position between the two Monitor Brackets and tighten the two remaining Vise Assemblies inside the Axis Assembly. Note: Sanus recommends Axis Assembly to be centered between the Monitor Brackets. Diagram 5 d c e vise assembly Step 6: Attach Coupler Thread the Coupler (a) onto the NPT Tube (b) until tight. See Diagram 6 or assistance. Diagram 6 Detailed View a b
Step 7: Attach the NPT Tube To attach the NPT Tube (b), simply thread the Coupler (a) onto an existing NPT Tube. Make sure the lower NPT Tube is oriented so the quick connect is acing toward the ront as shown in the Side View o Diagram 7. Insert and tighten the Set Screws into each hole in the coupler with the Allen Key (l) as shown in the Detailed View o Diagram 7. Detailed View Diagram 7 Side View existing NPT tube a j b Front Step 8: Attach the Axis Assembly To attach the two parts o the quick connect, slide the portion o the quick connect that is attached to the Axis Assembly (c) onto the portion that is connected to the NPT tube. The two V shapes should orm together so the Axis Assembly is secured to the tube. Proceed to add the Security Bolt (i) on the top o the quick connect as seen in the Detailed View o Diagram 8. Diagram 8 Detailed View i
Step 9: Leveling and Tension Once the television is mounted onto the NPT Tube (b), and the Security Bolt (i) is tight, it can be adjusted to level. Slightly loosen the two allen bolts on the back o the Axis Assembly (c). Once those two bolts are loosened, the television can be adjusted ±6 until level. When the television is level retighten the two allen bolts. The tilt can be adjusted by simply tilting the television. To increase or decrease tension o the tilt, loosen the knobs that are labeled in Diagram 9. The Nut in the Detailed View can be slightly tightened or loosened to adjust the tension o the Swivel. Once you have tilted the TV orward and removed the Saety Bracket, you can use the Saety Bracket to adjust the tension. Make sure a lat side o the tension nut is parallel with the TV beore putting the Saety Bracket back on. Detailed View Adjust Swivel Tension Diagram 9 tension nut tension allen knobs bolts Step 10: Cable Management Leave some slack in the cables so that during motion there is no added tension on the connectors. There are several places to attach Wire Ties to keep cables out o the way. You can attach them to the holes in the sides o the Monitor Brackets (), the Axis Assembly (c) or around the NPT Tube (b).
