To
install:
1)
LOCATING
THE
STUDS:
Use
a
stud
finder
to
locate
the
vertical
wooden
studs
within
your
wall
located
behind
the
final
position
of
the
furniture
item.
Mark
the
stud
locations
with
a
light
pencil
‐
mark.
2)
MOUNTING
THE
FURNITURE
‐
SIDE
BRACKET:
Move
the
furniture
item
close
to
the
wall
to
its
final
position.
Use
pieces
of
tape
or
a
pencil
to
transcribe
the
stud
locations
of
the
wall
onto
the
furniture
item.
Move
the
furniture
item
again
so
you
can
access
its
back
and
use
the
marks
to
locate
a
suitable
mounting
point
for
the
furniture
‐
side
bracket.
Make
sure
that
the
bracket
is
secured
to
a
firm
portion
of
the
furniture
frame
and
as
high
as
possible.
Remember:
The
furniture
‐
side
bracket
must
be
positioned
near
a
wall
stud.
Using
a
pencil,
and
the
bracket
as
a
guide,
mark
“screw
marks”
on
the
furniture
item
through
the
bracket
holes.
Use
a
3/32”
drill
bit
to
drill
pilot
holes
into
the
furniture
item
at
the
“screw
marks”.
Use
the
TWO
Short
screws
to
secure
the
furniture
‐
side
bracket.
This
bracket
can
be
positioned
either
vertically
or
horizontal
as
necessary
(See
Figure
1).
3)
MOUNTING
THE
WALL
‐
SIDE
BRACKET:
Position
the
wall
‐
side
bracket
along
the
selected
stud
mark
so
that
it
will
be
adjacent
the
furniture
‐
side
bracket
when
the
furniture
item
is
moved
to
its
final
position.
The
wall
‐
side
bracket
should
be
about
ONE
inch
lower
than
the
furniture
‐
side
bracket
(See
Figure
3).
Use
the
TWO
Long
screws
to
secure
the
wall
‐
side
bracket
to
the
wall.
Remember
to
position
the
wall
‐
side
bracket
vertically
so
that
both
screws
will
engage
the
selected
wall
stud
(See
Figure
2).
4)
ATTACHING
THE
STRAP:
When
both
brackets
are
securely
attached,
move
the
furniture
to
its
final
desired
position
and
thread
the
strap
through
the
openings
of
each
bracket
and
also
through
the
ratcheting
“buckle”.
Tighten
the
strap
until
several
“clicks”
are
heard.
The
furniture
item
is
now
securely
tethered
to
the
wall.
Note:
If
you
must
move
the
furniture
item,
you
can
release
the
strap
by
depressing
the
lever
arm
located
at
its
buckle
and
simultaneously
withdrawing
the
strap
from
the
buckle.
Make
sure
to
reconnect
the
strap
once
the
furniture
item
is
returned
to
its
previous
position.
