B.Place the BRACKET 15/16￿ (24 mm) from the marked “EDGE” toward center of opening and against the back wall as shown in figure 1, with orientation hole against wall.

C.Use the bracket as a template and mark the required holes, as shown in figure 1 for the type of construction you will be using.

STEP 2 - Anti-Tip Bracket Installation

A.Wood Construction:

1.Floor: Locate the center of the two holes identified in figure 1 as “HOLES FOR FLOOR”. Drill a 1/8￿ (3 mm) pilot hole in the center of each hole (a nail or awl may be used if a drill is not available). Secure the ANTI-TIP bracket to the floor with the two screws provided. Proceed to STEP 3.

2.Wall: Locate the center of the two holes identified in figure 1 as “HOLES FOR WALL. Drill an angled 1/8￿ (3 mm) pilot hole in the center of each hole as shown in figure 2. (A nail or awl may be used if a drill is not available). Secure the ANTI-TIP
