(15a) into the stud.

Drive the screw (15c) through the safety bracket (15a) into the wall stud.

Tighten the screw (15b) that was not fully tightened in step 3.

Option 2: Attachment into drywall

Locate your unit where desired against a wall and mark the wall through the safety bracket (15a), then move 

your unit aside.
Drill a
