Setting the caster stoppers
y
Stabilising the television
  
Attach the television to the rack to prevent it from falling over.
  Fixing to the rack
Attach the fall-prevention band etc. supplied with TV using 
the included screws as illustrated at right. (If the fall-pre-
vention band is not supplied with TV, use a commercially 
available band to fix.)
Attach the fall-prevention band to the prepared hole in the 
center of the underside of the top board.
If the hole is not positioned at a suitable place, drill  
approx. 2 mm (
3/32”) hole on the underside and attach the 
band with the screw.
If you fasten the screw too tightly, it goes around in circles 
and the TV cannot be fixed.
  Fixing to the wall
Use commercially available screws, strong string or chain 
suitable for materials of the wall or pillar to fix to the solid 
parts.
Walls and pillars must be strong enough to support the 
weight of TV. Ask installation personnel for more informa-
tion.
Fix 2 parts at both left and right.
