MAD-MOUNT
Installation Instructions
Installing the Upper Mounting Plate
Step 1:
After locating the wall space where you will install the MAD-MOUNT, measure five feet up from
the ground and make a mark on the wall. Using a level, draw a straight line across the wall
(approximately 36 inches); this line will be used as a reference point for installing the Upper Mounting
Plate.
Once the reference line has been drawn, locate the studs in the wall and mark each stud that in-
tersects the reference line drawn. These marks must line up with the pre-drilled holes in the Upper
Mounting Plate.
NOTE:
Walls framed 16 inches on center will use the outer pre-drilled holes and will span three studs
(32 inches). Walls framed 24 inches on center will use the inner pre-drilled holes and will span across
two studs (24 inches).
Step 2:
Align the bottom edge of the Upper Mounting Plate on the horizontal reference line drawn in step 1.
Verify that the pre-drilled holes in the plate line up with the wall studs; then pre-drill holes in the wall
studs using the 3/16” drill bit. Next, use two of the provided fasteners to secure the Upper Mounting
Plate to the wall studs with the aid of the provided T40 Torx Bit. Check again to ensure that both fas-
teners are completely tightened into the wall studs.
Installing the Lower Mounting Plate
Step 3:
Measure down 10 1/2 inches from the top edge of the Upper Mounting Plate and make a mark. Using
a level, draw a straight line across the wall (approximately 36 inches); this line will be used as a refer-
ence point for installing the Lower Mounting Plate.
Step 4:
Align the top edge of the Lower Mounting Plate on the horizontal reference line drawn in step 3. Verify
that the pre-drilled holes in the plate line up with the wall studs; then pre-drill holes in the wall studs
using the 3/16” drill bit. Next, use two of the provided fasteners to secure the Lower Mounting Plate to
the wall studs with the aid of the provided T40 Torx Bit. Check again to ensure that both fasteners are
completely tightened into the wall studs.
Figure 1 shows how the MAD-MOUNT should look when properly installed.
The MAD-MOUNT is now properly installed and ready to store The MAD-RAMPS Pivoting Ramp
System.
