Option 1: Installing on a wood stud wall
Note
: Any drywall covering the wall must not exceed 5/8" (16 mm).

Locate the stud. Verify the center of the stud* with an edge-to-edge stud finder.
2
Align the wall plate template (
D
) at the height you determined in the previous step, make sure that it is
level, then tape it to the wall. Use a pencil to mark the lag bolt hole locations (4) on the stud centers.
3
Drill pilot holes to a depth of 3 in. (75 mm) using a 7/32 in. (5.5 mm) diameter drill bit. Remove the wall
plate template.

Align the wall plate (
A
) with the pilot holes, insert the lag bolts (
T
) through the lag bolt washers (
S
),
then through the holes in the wall plate. Tighten the lag bolts only until they are firm against the wall
plate.
CAUTION
: Avoid potential injuries or property damage! DO NOT over-tighten the lag bolts (
