Step 2 - Option 1: Installing on a wood stud wall
Note: Any drywall covering the wall must not exceed 5/8" (16 mm).
1 Locate the studs. Verify the center of the stud* with an edge-to-edge stud finder.
2 At the wall height you determined in the previous step, align the wall plate template (R) against the wall, make
sure that it is level, then tape it to the wall. Use a pencil to mark the lag bolt locations (2), then remove the wall
plate template.
3 Drill pilot holes to a depth of 3" (75 mm) using a 7/32" (5.5 mm) diameter drill bit.
4 Align the wall plate with the pilot holes, then place the washers (E) over the holes in the wall plate. Insert the lag
bolts (D) through the washers, then tighten the lag bolts only until the washers are pulled firmly against the wall
plate.
CAUTION: Avoid potential injuries or property damage! DO NOT over-tighten the lag bolts (D).
