Step 1: Mount the Wall Plate: Wood Stud, Brick, Solid Concrete, and Concrete Block mounting options are provided.
Wood Stud Mounting: The Wall Plate (a) must be mounted to a wood stud. Use a high quality stud sensor to locate a stud. Pre-drill
a 2.5" deep hole at the desired height in the stud using a 3/16" drill bit. Make sure the hole is in the center area of the stud. Use the Wall
Plate as a template to mark the location of the second hole. Make sure the Wall Plate is level and drill 2.5" a deep hole using the 3/16"
drill bit in the marked location. Attach the Wall Plate to the wall using two Lag Bolts (d) and two Lag Bolt Washers (e). Make sure the
Wall Plate is oriented so the flat surface in the center of the plate is against the wall as shown in Diagram 1a.
Warning: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE LAG BOLTS! Tighten Lag Bolts only until the Lag Bolt Washer is pulled firmly
against the Wall Plate.
Brick, Solid Concrete and Concrete Block Mounting: Use the Wall Plate (a) as a template to mark 3 hole locations on the wall.
Always locate Concrete Anchors (f) in the brick, block, or concrete. Never drill into the mortar between blocks! The two top holes
should be as far to the outside of the Wall Plate as possible. The bottom hole should be in the center. Make sure theWall Plate is level.
Carefully pre-Drill these holes with a 1/2" masonry bit to at least 2.5" in depth. Insert a Concrete anchor into each of these holes. Make
sure the anchor is seated completely flush with the concrete surface even if there is a layer of drywall or other material in front. Attach
the Wall Plate to the wall using 3 Lag Bolts (d) and 3 Lag Bolt Washers (e). See Diagram 1b for assistance.
Warning: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE LAG BOLTS! Tighten Lag Bolts only until the Lag Bolt Washer is pulled firmly
against the Wall Plate.
