four pilot holes. Tighten each screw into the mounting

 

surface until just less than 1/4" of the screw head

 

protrudes.

6.

For furniture mounting, align the mounting screws with

 

the slots in the brackets and place the MDA against the

 

surface, with the screws through the bracket slots.
