To install the Wall Mount Bracket (Figure 9):
1. Remove the wall mount bracket (Part F) from the box and place to the side until the rack
assembly is complete.
2. Take the top U-shaped portion of the bracket and apply it to the bottom of the shelf (this should
be the very top shelf of the rack).
3. Align the hole in the bracket with the load strap hole located at the bottom center of the shelf beam.
4. Using the same nut and carriage bolt that’s holding the load strap in place, connect the bracket to
the shelf beam.
5. The bracket has two adjustable slots that allow you to adjust the L-shaped portion of the bracket
against the wall.
6. After the L-shaped portion of the bracket is adjusted against the wall, it’s recommended to screw
the bracket into a stud located within the wall rather than wallboard only. If there’s no option to
screw into a stud, wall anchors should be used when mounting into the wallboard.
Note: Wall mounting screws and anchors are included with the Stout Rack; however, different wall
materials require different types of fasteners. Use fasteners suitable for the walls in your home. If
you are uncertain about what type of fasteners to use, please contact your local hardware store.
