Drill Holes in Rear Wall

In addition to being installed on at least 1 wall stud, the mounting plate must attach to the wall at both bottom corner holes. If the holes are not over wall studs, use two 1/4-20 x 3" round-head bolts with toggle nuts; if 1 hole is over a wall stud, use 1 lag screw and one 1/4-20 x 3" round-head bolt with toggle nut; or if both holes are over wall studs, use 2 lag screws. Following are

3 installation configurations.
