tion instructions. Tipping, shaking, or rocking the machine may cause injury.

PREPARATION
SECURING THE TV TO THE WALL TO PREVENT FALLING 
WHEN THE TV IS USED ON A STAND
 We recommend that you set up the TV close to a wall so it cannot fall over if pushed backwards. 
 Additionally, we recommend that the TV be attached to a wall so it cannot be pulled in a forward 
direction, potentially causing injury or damaging the product. 
 Caution: Please make sure that children don’t climb on or hang from the TV. 
ꔛ Insert the eye-bolts (or TV brackets and bolts) to tighten the product to the wall as shown in the 
picture. 
   *   
If your product has the bolts in the eye-bolts position before inserting the eye-bolts, loosen the 
bolts. 
   * Insert the eye-bolts or TV brackets/bolts and tighten them securely in the upper holes.
     
Secure the wall brackets with the bolts (sold separately) to the wall. Match the height of the bracket 
that is mounted on the wall to the holes in the product. 
    Ensure the eye-bolts or brackets are tightened securely.
ꔛ Use a sturdy rope (sold separately) to tie the product. It is safer to tie the 
rope so it becomes horizontal between the wall and the product.
ꔛ You  should  purchase  necessary  components  to  prevent  the  TV  from  tipping  over  (when  not  using  a 
wall mount).
ꔛ Image shown may differ from your TV.

NOTE
► Use a platform or cabinet strong enough and large enough to support the size and weight of 
the TV.
► To use the TV safely make sure that the height of the bracket on the wall and the one on the TV are 
the same.
