Methods For Attaching
Mounting Bracket To Wall

Only use last hole on each end of mounting
bracket to attach bracket to wall. These two
holes are 16 inches apart from their centers.
Attach mounting bracket to wall in one of
two ways.

Attaching to wall stud

 

 This method pro-

vides the strongest hold. Insert mounting
screws through mounting bracket and into
wall studs.

      This method

allows you to attach mounting bracket to
hollow walls (wall areas between studs) or
to solid walls (concrete or masonry).

Decide which method better suits your needs.
Either method will provide a secure hold for
the mounting bracket.
