STEP 6 - 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 centers of the studs with an edge-to-edge stud finder.
2
Align the wall plate (A) at the height you determined in the previous step, make sure that it is level, then
use a pencil to mark the lag bolt hole locations (4) on the stud centers. Remove the wall plate (A).
3
Drill pilot holes to a depth of 2 in. (50 mm) using a 3/16 in. (5 mm) diameter drill bit.
4
Align the wall plate (A) with the pilot holes, insert the lag bolts (P) through the lag bolt washers (O),
then through the holes in the wall plate. Tighten the lag bolts only until they are firm against the wall
plate.
CAUTION
: Avoid potential injuries or property damage! DO NOT over-tighten the lag bolts (P).
