2. The screw holes in the Storage Rack are spaced
16-inches (41 cm) apart to correspond with standard
wall stud spacing. Locate two wall studs and position the
Storage Rack so that all four screw holes are over the
studs.
3. Level the Rack and mark the hole locations. Drill a
1/8-inch (3.2 mm) diameter pilot hole at each location.
4. Attach the Storage Rack to wall studs using the four
Screws provided. Make sure all four Screws are driven
securely into the wall studs.
5. Use Drywall Anchor (provided) to secure Upper Rack
to wall. Drill 1/4-inch (6.5 mm) diameter pilot hole
in drywall. Insert Anchor and drive metal head tight
against plastic washer.
6. If your wall studs are not located 16-inches (41 cm)
apart or the desired location does not align with the
wall studs, a 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) thick plywood panel
30-inches wide, must be attached to the studs with the
four screws provided.
7. The Storage Rack may then be attached to the plywood
panel with five 1-inch (25.4 mm) #10 Pan or Round
Head Wood Screws (not provided).
NOTE: Supplied wood screws are intended for
mounting to typical wall construction consisting of 5/8-inch
(15.9 mm) drywall or less.
CAUTION:
!
To prevent plywood, Storage Rack, or Wet/Dry Vac from
falling, make sure you have selected the proper length
of fastener for the secure mounting of storage rack to
5 Feet
the wall.
