Attach Mounting Plate to Wall
NOTE:
Secure the mounting plate to the wall at both end holes
drilled into the wall studs and/or drywall using either 1/4-20 x 3"
round-head bolts and toggle nuts or 1/4 x 2" lag screws.

With the support tabs of the mounting plate facing forward,
insert 1/4-20 x 3" round-head bolts through both end holes of
mounting plate.
2.
Start toggle nuts on bolts from the back of the mounting plate.
Leave enough space for the toggle nuts to go through the wall
and to open.
3.
Position mounting plate on the wall.
4.
Push the 2 bolts with toggle nuts through the drywall, and
finger tighten the bolts to make sure toggle nuts have opened
against drywall.
