Installation
1) Installation Location
Choose the proper location to mount your Wall King system.
Use the diagram to the left to make sure your bracket is high
enough to be adjusted up to 10ft. If you install your bracket
higher than 86 inches your system will still adjust to 10ft but
will not adjust down as far. If you install your bracket below 86
inches your system will not adjust up to 10ft.
The wall surface needs to be level and flat so that your
bracket will be level. The wall must either be wood siding,
brick, or stone and be structurally sound.
Ensure that the structure you are mounting to is structurally
sound and sufficient to handle the stresses of the Wall King.
Contact a professional engineer regarding this.
Above your bracket you need an additional 6 - 16 inches for
the safety cable to attach to the wall (16 inches being optimal).
You must have full access to the rear side of the wall to
complete the installation.
Before moving on confirm you have read and understand
all safety instructions on page 3.
The overhang is 3ft from the wall to the front of the backboard.
2) Marking and Drilling Bracket Mounting Holes
Using a pencil, mark the 2 top mounting holes, 2 bottom
holes, 2 of the 6 center holes (1 on the left and 1 on the right),
and the safety cable eye bolt hole while ensuring the bracket
is level. (Total of 7 holes to be drilled)
Once marked check the wall to make sure there is nothing in
the way of drilling through the wall. Example: electric wiring,
steel braces/studs, water lines, gas lines, or anything else.
Brick/Stone Wall:
Next using the provided drill bit(s), drill each hole. Use the
#38 masonry drill bit and a hammer drill to go through the
brick or stone. Once through the brick or stone switch to the
#39 wood drill bit to go through the rest of the wall.
Wood/Siding Wall:
Using the #39 wood drill bit, drill each hole.
