INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
Only install the product in an area where the
mounting surface and substrate are structurally
sound - Strengthening modifications to the fixing
surface may be required.
Also check the type of substrate you intend to fix it to
e.g. brick/block timber or concrete. Always check that
the type of fixing you are going to use is compatible
with the substrate.
Ensure that when correctly located, the rail can be
raised and lowered without interference from other
fixtures and furniture and that transfer can be carried
out safely.
5.
INSTALLATION
1 - Position Wall Plate against the wall at the height
required and mark the position of the holes.
2 - Drill the holes, as appropriate for the fixings/
screws being used.
Note:
As the substrate can vary considerably, we
do not recommend any particular fixings; if in any
doubt; consult a reputable fixing supplies company
for advice.
3 - Place Wall plate against wall and secure using the
chosen fixings. When fitted, check that it is securely
fixed to the wall and that the arm can be raised and
lowered without interference. Also check that the
friction lock is effective and that the support rail will
hold itself at any angle during movement (i.e. it does
not drop down on its own).
