Base Assembly

Begin by assembling the base, ensuring all feet and legs are securely attached. Align the frame properly and tighten all bolts to maintain stability and balance.

Attaching the Feet to the Base

Start by identifying the feet and their corresponding holes on the base. Use the provided bolts and washers to secure each foot tightly. Ensure the bolts are screwed in snugly but not overtightened. Check that the feet are evenly aligned and the base remains level. Use a level tool to confirm proper alignment on both axes. Once all feet are securely attached, double-check the tightness of each bolt before proceeding to the next step.

Assembling the Legs and Frame

Attach the legs to the base using the provided bolts and washers. Align the leg holes with the base holes and secure tightly. Next, connect the support beams to the legs using the Allen wrench. Ensure all bolts are snug but not overtightened. Use the screwdriver to tighten any additional screws. Double-check the alignment and stability of the frame. Finally, verify that the legs are evenly spaced and the frame is level before moving on to the next assembly step.

Upright Support Assembly

Attach the shelves to the upright frame using the provided screws. Secure the support beams tightly to ensure stability. Use a Phillips screwdriver for precise tightening.

Attaching the Shelves to the Upright

Align the shelves with the pre-drilled holes on the upright frame. Use the provided screws to secure them in place. Tighten firmly with a Phillips screwdriver. Ensure the shelves are level and evenly spaced. Double-check the alignment to avoid wobbling. Once secured, verify that the shelves can hold the intended weight. Properly attached shelves will provide a sturdy base for your TV and additional storage. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for weight distribution to maintain stability and safety.

Securing the Support Beams

To secure the support beams, align them with the upright frame’s pre-drilled holes. Insert the provided bolts or screws and tighten using a Phillips screwdriver. Ensure the beams are tightly fastened for stability. Check alignment and tighten screws fully to prevent wobbling. Verify the stand’s stability by gently testing it. Avoid overtightening to prevent damage. Once secure, the beams will provide a sturdy base for your TV and additional storage, ensuring the stand remains stable and safe to use.

Mounting the TV

Check all parts and hardware before starting. Attach the mounting bracket to your TV, ensuring compatibility. Align the TV with the stand and secure tightly using provided bolts. Ensure stability and proper alignment for safe installation.

Preparing the TV for Mounting

Before mounting, ensure your TV is ready. Remove any existing stands or brackets. Check compatibility with the Whalen 3-in-1 TV Stand by verifying VESA mounting pattern and weight limits. Locate the VESA mounting holes on the back of the TV and clean the area to ensure proper adhesion or installation. If using a mounting plate, attach it to the TV following the manufacturer’s instructions. Double-check all connections and cables to avoid damage during installation.

Attaching the Mounting Bracket to the TV

Align the mounting bracket with the VESA mounting holes on the back of the TV. Insert the provided bolts through the bracket and into the TV’s holes. Use the washers to secure the bracket tightly. Tighten the bolts firmly using a screwdriver, ensuring the bracket is evenly seated. Avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to the TV. Once secure, double-check the bracket’s stability to ensure it holds the TV safely. Follow the manufacturer’s torque specifications for optimal security.

Ensuring the TV is Level and Secure

Use a level tool to ensure the TV is perfectly horizontal and vertical. Adjust the mounting bracket as needed to achieve balance. Tighten all bolts securely, but avoid over-tightening, which could damage the TV or bracket. Double-check the TV’s stability by gently rocking it side to side. Ensure all cables are neatly managed to prevent interference. Verify that the TV’s weight is evenly distributed and that the stand remains stable. This step is crucial for both safety and optimal viewing experience.
