OPTION 1: Attachment into a wall stud (preferred method)
Using a stud finder, locate a stud in the wall. Place your unit against the wall, with the safety strap aligned in
this location. To make driving the screw easier, you can drill a 1/8" diameter pilot hole (3mm) through the
safety strap into the stud. Drive the screw through the washer and safety strap into the wall stud.
OPTION 2: Attachment into drywall
Locate your unit where desired against a wall and mark the wall through the safety strap, then move your unit
aside. Drill a 3/16" diameter hole (5mm) into the wallboard. Tap the wall anchor into the hole until it is flush.
Move your unit into location and fasten the wall strap to the wall anchor with the screw and washer.
