NOTE: When mounting to wood studs, the two wood studs must be a minimum of 16" apart.
Step1: Wall Plate Installation
Place the wall plate against the wall and line up the mounting slots with the drilled holes. Check the bubble level to verify
that the wall plate is level.
For each location, insert a lag bolt (J) and washer (L) into the wall
Tighten the bolt with an open ended socket wrench by turning clockwise until tight.
Use a high-quality electronic stud finder (commercially available) to
locate dead center of two studs and mark their locations with a pencil
(figure 1-a).
Next, pre-drill a 1/4" hole to a depth of 2" in the wall stud at each
marked location.
