If you are installing this mounting system in wood
studs, proceed to step 4.
CAUTION

Avoid drilling near electrical
wiring and water pipes. The mounting system

wood studs. Failure to observe all safety
precautions can result in serious physical
injury and/or property damage. Consult a
professional installer or call customer service if
you have any questions.
CAUTION
:
Do not drill into mortar between
bricks or into loose concrete.
CAUTION

Use a ¼ in. (6 mm) masonry drill bit too slowly
drill 3 in. (76 mm) pilot holes. Then use a 3/8 in.
(10 mm) masonry drill bit to expand pilot holes.

Insert anchors (AA) into the holes. Ensure the
anchors are completely flush to the concrete
surface even if covered by a layer of joint
compound or other material.
