Mount bracket 

 

Four screws (included in the mount kit) or masonry anchors (not included in 

the mount kit) 

 

node with one bracket piece with hooks 

To attach a node to a wall: 
1.

 

Use four screws or masonry anchors to attach the mount bracket securely to 

the wall. Put the screws or anchors in the two holes near the top and the two 
holes at the bottom of the bracket. 

2.

 

Hang the node hooks on the rail. 

The installation is correct if the node does not easily move from side to side, and 

the connectors are oriented to the ground. 

Note: 

You can add other straps or a sling to increase durability of the attachment 

to the wall.
