31/2" Socket and Wrench

4Electric drill, 3/16" (5mm) drill bit for wood stud installation and 3/8" (10mm) masonry bit for concrete/brick installation

Step1: Wall Plate Installation

A) Wood Stud Installation

NOTE: When mounting to wood studs, the two wood studs must be a minimum of 16" apart.

1Use a high-quality electronic stud finder to locate dead center of two studs and mark their locations with a pencil (figure 1-a).

2Attach the bubble level (G2) to the wall plate and with the help of an assistant ensure the wall plate is level, position the wall plate against the wall in the desired mounting location.

3Mark the right (upper and lower) and the left (upper and lower) positions of the small horizontal slots that are in alignment with the studs. You should mark four positions total.

4Next, pre-drill a 3/16" hole to a depth of approximately 2" in the wood stud at each marked location.

5Place the wall plate against the wall and line up the mounting slots with the drilled holes. Check the bubble level to verify that the wall plate is level.

6For each location, insert a bolt (E) and washer (G1) into the wall.

7Tighten the bolt with a 1/2" socket or open ended wrench by turning clockwise until tight.

CAUTION: Do not over-tighten bolts-doing so many cause unnecessary damage to the wall. Avoid excessive torque.

CAUTION: Do not release the wall plate until it is properly mounted and secured to the wall.
