How to install Chief PAC124S

• Prepare your workspace and verify wall structure. Confirm there are 24" on-center studs in the chosen mounting location and ensure the wall surface is sound and capable of supporting the mounted load.
• Unpack the PAC124S kit and lay out all components. Review the included hardware to ensure you have the correct fasteners for your wall type (wood or metal studs) and verify you’re using compatible Chief swing-arm hardware.
• Attach the PAC124S stud adapter to the wall using the provided mounting hardware. Use a level and a stud finder to locate the exact stud centers, then align the adapter so it sits squarely against the wall surface. Tighten fasteners evenly to ensure a solid, level base.
• With the adapter securely in place, mount the Chief swing-arm flat-panel mount onto the PAC124S adapter according to the mount’s installation instructions. Align the mounting holes, thread the fasteners, and tighten to the recommended torque to avoid play or wobble.
• Hang or attach your flat-panel display to the swing-arm mount, balance the weight, and perform a full range of motion test. Check tilt, swivel, and rotation to confirm smooth operation and secure locking mechanisms. Re-check all fasteners after the first use and on routine maintenance intervals.
