Recommended Rough Opening Configuration:
Wood double stud framing is necessary in the rough opening (Fig. 1). Contact an architect and building
official to make sure the framing is adequate and complies with building codes. A.D.A. compliance
guidelines require the top of the lower part of rough opening to be a maximum of 29” (73.7) and a minimum
of 25” (83.5) from floor.
1.
Test unit in the rough opening for fit. Shim as required (Fig. 3) to minimise play. Insure the bottom of the
rough opening is level.
2.
Slide changer into rough opening. Let it rest on the bottom of the rough opening (this has been made
level in step 1). Flip down door. Door and recessed panel remain taped together during installation, see
Figure 2 above. Using the unit as a template drill six (6) 3/16” pilot holes into the studs. Drill side holes
at a 5-10 degree angle (Figure. 3). Use a 3/6" taper length drill bit (5-3/4" long).
Quick Tip:
To insure the
unit is snugly pressed against the wall it may require an additional person to help hold the changer in
position while you are drilling the holes and insert the first mounting screw. A total of four side mounting
and two back mounting screws are used (Figure. 2).
3.
Insert side wood screws using the power drill with the Phillips driver. Wood screws have been provided
and it is the installer's responsibility to provide correct fasteners for other substrates. Shim the rear
mounting area after the four (4) side screws have been installed. Insert the last two (2) rear screws.
4.
Ensure all six (6) screws are tight. Do not over tighten to the point of distortion.
5.
Remove tape and flip up recessed panel to Insert two (2) 1/2" long Phillips machine screws to secure
recessed panel to complete the installation, see Figure B next page.
