Methods For Attaching Mounting Bracket
To Wall
Only use last hole on each end of mounting bracket to attach bracket to wall. These two holes are 14" (35.6 cm) apart from their cen- ters. Attach mounting bracket to wall in one of two ways:
1.Attaching to wall stud
2.Attaching to wall anchor
Attaching to Wall Stud: This method provides the strongest hold. Insert mounting screws through mounting bracket and into wall studs.
Attaching to Wall Anchor: This method allows you to attach mounting bracket to hollow walls (wall areas between studs) or to solid walls (concrete or masonry).
Decide which method better suits your needs. Either method will provide a secure hold for the mounting bracket.
WARNING:Maintainminimum clearances shown in Figure 8. If youcan,providegreaterclearances from floor and joining wall.
2.Mark screw locations on wall (see Figure 8).
Note: Only mark last hole on each end of mounting bracket. Insert mounting screws through these holes only.
3.Remove tape and mounting bracket from wall.
