Place the wall plate against the wall and line up the mounting slots with the drilled holes. Check the bubble
level to verify that the wall plate is level.
CAUTION: Do not release the wall plate until it is properly mounted and secured to the wall.
Use a high-quality electronic stud finder (commercially available) to
locate dead center of two studs and mark their locations with a pencil
(Figure 1).
Next, pre-drill a 3/16" hole to a depth of 2" in the wall stud at each
marked location.

CAUTION: Do not over-tighten bolts - doing so may cause unnecessary damage to the wall. Avoid excessive torque.
For each location, insert a bolt (H) and washer (J) into the wall.
Tighten the bolt with an open ended socket wrench by turning clockwise until tight.
With the help of an assistant, and using the bubble level to ensure the
wall plate is level, position the wall plate against the wall in the desired
mounting location.
Step1: Wall Plate Installation
Mark the right (upper and lower) and the left (upper and lower)
positions of the small horizontal slots that are in alignment with the
studs.
Note: When mounting to wood studs, the two wood studs must be a minimum of 16" apart.
Tools Required:
Stud finder for drywall installation
5/16" Socket and Wrench
Electric drill, 3/16 drill bit for wood stud installation, and 1/2" (12mm) masonry bit for concrete/brick installation
Note: Please ensure that the bubble level is properly mounted on the wall plate prior to mounting the wall plate.
You should mark four positions total. Take down the wall plate.
