Step 2: Attach Glides to Mounting Surface
To mount the Glides (k,l), insert a Button Head Bolt (a) through each indicated hole in the wood portion of the Glide, the Shelf you are
mounting the VMPO to, a Washer (c), and finally thread a 1/4 20 Nut (b) onto the end. See the Detailed View of Diagram 2 for assistance.
Tighten the Nut with a wrench until tight. Repeat the process until all 3 Button Head Bolts are fastened securely on each Glide.
Note: Make sure the end of the Glide with a Dowel is facing the front of the Shelf.

Step 3: Reposition the Dowels (optional)
To have the VMPO extend further, simply remove the Dowels by lifting them out of the Glides (k,l) and placing them in the front hole
location as shown in Diagram 3.
WARNING: Proceed with this step at your own risk!
Note: Sanus Always recommends fastening the cabinet or armoire to the wall! If you choose to remove this Dowel, it is the
responsibility of the installer to verify the mounting surface is capable of supporting the weight of the television in the fully
extended position.

Step 4: Attach Top Assembly to Glides
Orient the Base (j) so that the 4 small holes face the front and the side with the long grooves faces down. Then orient the Top Assembly
(m) so that the vertical tube is closer to the back. Insert a Furniture Bolt (g) through the Top Assembly, the Base, and finally thread it into
the Glide (k,l). See the Detailed View of Diagram 4 for assistance. Repeat process for each of the remaining 3 Furniture Bolts. Proceed
to tighten each Furniture Bolt firmly with the Allen Key (i).

Step 7: Attach Flat Panel LCD directly to VMPO
To figure out the hardware needed to attach the VMPO directly to the TV, start by determining the diameter of the Bolt (M4 or M6) your
TV requires by hand threading them into the threaded insert on the back of the TV. If 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 (t,u), the Top Assembly (m), and finally thread it into the TV. Proceed to tighten all 4 Bolts until tight with a phillips screw
driver.
Note: Instances where there is an obstruction near the threaded insert in the back of the TV will require the use of a Spacer (v,w)
and the longer Bolt (q,s). For those instances see the M4 x 30 or M6 x 35 Diagram.
