INSTALLATION
WARNING: TWO PEOPLE ARE REQUIRED TO INSTALL THE WORKSTATION ON
THE WALL.
NOTE: There are obround holes along the back of the top and bottom shelves.
We recommend securing the workstation in six locations – three locations at the
top of each shelf.
HINT: It may be easier to attach a cleat to the wall to help hold the workstation
on the wall while you mark the fastening holes. Use two people – one to hold the
workstation in place and the other to mark the holes.
Determine and mark the desired height of the workstation on the wall with a pencil.
Make sure that the worksurface will be at the desired height when it is open.
Use a stud finder to find the wooden stud locations in the wall you will be mounting the
fold down workstation. Mark their locations with a pencil.
Use these stud locations to mark six holes for fastening the workstation to the wall, three
in the top shelf and three in the bottom shelf. We recommend that the workstation be
secured to a wall stud at one end and in the fifth holes from that end. The other end
without the wall stud can be secured using an anchor.
Draw a line at the top of the workstation. Remove the workstation and place a level along
the line you have drawn to make sure the workstation will be level.
Predrill holes at the locations you have marked.
While one person holds the workstation in place (again, having a cleat on the wall would
help stabilize the installation process), the other person should secure the workstation to
the wall using the hardware provided. Use a lag screw and washer for securing to wall
studs. Add an anchor when not securing to a wall stud. Tighten securely.
