Don't Ruin Your Drywall: Equatech Universal Tv Wall Mount Setup Guide
A wall mount is a mechanical assembly subjected to regular movement, vibrations from internal speakers, and gravitational strain. Six months after initial setup, pull the television away from the wall to visually inspect the hardware. Check that the main lag bolts remain flush against the sheetrock and examine the articulating pivot bolts for any signs of loose friction plates.
If the scissor arms feel stiff or squeak during adjustment, apply a quick drop of dry silicone lubricant to the pivot bushings. Avoid spraying oil lubricants directly behind the television, as airborne mist can coat electrical boards and attract dust. Keeping your mount properly aligned, torqued, and checked ensures your screen remains steady, level, and safe on the wall for years to come.
