How to install Chief FWD Dual Swing Arm Wall Mount

Installing the Chief FWD Dual Swing Arm Wall Mount is a straightforward process that prioritizes wall stability and display security. Before you begin, verify that your display’s weight does not exceed the 40 lb maximum and confirm the mounting surface can support the load. Gather common tools such as a drill, screwdriver, stud finder, level, measuring tape, and the hardware included with the mount. If you have questions beyond this guide, consult a professional installer for added assurance.

Step 1: Plan the layout. Determine the best height and viewing angle for your space. Consider the distance between the wall and seating area, as well as any obstacles like furniture or equipment. Mark the target position for the wall plate, ensuring you align with studs for optimal support. If studs are not available at the desired location, use appropriate wall anchors rated for your wall type and weight load.

Step 2: Locate studs and mark drilling points. Use a stud finder to locate structural members behind the wall. Mark the center of each stud where you will drive mounting screws. For a secure installation, attach the wall plate to studs rather than drywall alone, following the mounting pattern provided with the mount. Use a level to ensure the wall plate is perfectly horizontal before drilling.

Step 3: Attach the wall plate. Drill pilot holes at the marked points and secure the wall plate with the screws provided. Tighten securely, avoiding over-tightening that could strip the holes. A strong, level base is essential for smooth arm movement and display stability.

Step 4: Attach the dual swing arms to the wall plate and connect the display mounting bracket. With an assistant if needed, align the arms with the wall plate and secure them according to the instructions that accompany the mount. Next, attach the display mounting plate to the back of your display, ensuring you follow the display’s VESA-compatible pattern or mounting interface described by the manufacturer. Attach the display to the dual arms, ensuring all fasteners are snug and secure.

Step 5: Cable management and final checks. Route cables neatly along the arms or using any provided clips to prevent tangling during movement. Check the range of motion by gently extending, tilting, and swiveling the arms to confirm there are no obstructions and that the load remains within the specified limit. Make final adjustments to the angle and position to achieve optimal viewing comfort. If your setup includes multiple users or rooms, consider labeling the positions for quick future adjustments.

Step 6: Safety and maintenance. Periodically inspect the mounting hardware for signs of wear, check for loose screws, and confirm that the arms move smoothly without unusual resistance. Clean the surface of the arms and wall plate with a soft, dry cloth to maintain the finish and ensure consistent performance over time.
