CAUTION: Do not over-tighten bolts-doing so many cause unnecessary damage to the wall. Avoid excessive torque.
Next, pre-drill a 1/8" hole to a depth of approximately 2" in the wood stud at each marked location.
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 bolt (E) and washer (G1) into the wall.
Tools Required:
Mark the right (upper and lower) and the left (upper and lower) positions of the small horizontal slots that are in
alignment with the studs. You should mark four positions total.

Attach the bubble level (G2) to the wall plate and with the help of an
assistant ensure the wall plate is level, position the wall plate against
the wall in the desired mounting location.
NOTE: When mounting to wood studs, the two wood studs must be a minimum of 16" apart.
