1.
studs.
Locate a load-bearing wall stud using a stud finder.
Mark the centerline (middle) of the studs.
NOTE:
In any wood frame structure, load-bearing wood studs are
always 16-inches apart. This is to accommodate the installation
of the drywall. A magnetic stud finder (the small stud finder in the
photo at left) use magnets to locate the nails used to install the
drywall. For this reason, they are very accurate. An electronic stud
finder use changes in capacitance to locate the stud.
2.
mark Hole.
Hold the unit in the desired position against the wall
with the mounting hole directly on top of the centerline of the stud.
Mark the top mounting hole.
3.
drill bit.
Using a standard 3/16-inch drill bit, measure the drill bit
against the length of the lag screw. The drill bit in the photo happens
to be the same length of the lag screw (about 2-1/2-inches).
Drill a hole equal to length of the lag screw. If the drill bit is longer
than the lag screw, place a piece of tape around the drill bit marking
2-1/2-inches of the bit.
4.
starter Hole.
Drill a starter hole the entire length of the drill bit
(or to the tape marking 2-1/2-inches).

installing your system
To install your system, please follow these instructions.
5. drill bit & lag screw.
It is important to use a 3/16-inch drill bit.
Since the lag screw’s diameter is 5/16-inches, the threads of the lag
screw will firmly grip the wood stud.
6. secure lag screw.
After the hole has been drilled into the stud,
insert and tighten a lag screw until it is secure.
7.
socket Wrench.
Tighten the lag screw with the socket wrench.
8.
level.
Level the H2 unit and mark the middle and lower
mounting holes.
