1. Remove and discard Truss Head Spanner screws from unit back (Fig. b).

2. Locate wood stud where left side of changing station will be mounted to the wall.

3. For A. D. A. compliance, measure up 45” (114 cm) from the floor and mark the wall. This locates the position for the top left attachment hole.

NOTE: Mark on wall MUST be in center of wood stud.

4. Lay top section of changing station down on changing station bed (Fig. c) and align hole in top left corner of changing station with mark on wall and hold in place.

5. Using a level and measuring tape, mark the remaining three (3) holes. After marking holes, set changing station down on ground.

6. Use a power drill and appropriate bit to drill four (4) holes in the wall. This may require 2 people.

NOTE 1: For wood studs:

- If finished wall surface is tile or masonry over wood studs, use a 7/32” masonry bit for the pilot hole until you hit the wood stud, then change to 1/8” bit.

- Use wood screws, finishing washers and flat washers (Fig. d).

NOTE 2: For use with toggle anchors:

- If finished wall surface has wood studs that are not 16” on center, has metal studs, or has an underlying surface of concrete block, use 1/2” bit.

- Use machine screws and flat washers (Fig. e).

- For holes NOT located in a wood stud, toggle anchors MUST be used (Fig. f). See “Using ToggleAnchors” section.

7. Rotate plastic top section back up so that mounting hardware goes through the plastic as well as the metal back (Fig. b).

NOTE: This unit incorporates a finishing collar that seats behind the changer’s outside flange. Center the collar as the unit is being tightened against the wall (Fig. g).

8.Align holes in changing station with drilled holes and secure top left corner of changing station to wall stud using the appropriate screw and washer. Continue to secure the three (3) remaining corners using the appropriate screws and washers as described in Note 1 or Note 2.
