Installation to Double Wood Stud Wall

• Installer must verify that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all attached
hardware and components.

screws, greatly reducing their holding power.

• Make sure that mounting screws are anchored into the center of the stud. The use of an "edge to edge" stud finder is
highly recommended.
• Hardware provided is for attachment of mount through standard thickness drywall or plaster into wood studs. Installers
are responsible to provide hardware for other types of mounting situations.

of screen and draw a horizontal line to locate placement of wall plate template. Wall plate (D) can be mounted to two
studs that are 16" apart. Use a stud finder to locate the edges of the studs. Use of an edge to edge stud finder is
highly recommended. Based on their edges, draw a vertical line down each stud's center. Align top of template (top
