Fastening: Inadequate or incorrect fasteners can result in the brackets pulling
loose and causing damage.
Alignment: Improper bracket alignment can result in an installation that is
ineffective and unsafe.
5. Installation
For maximum loading capacity, brackets should be mounted directly to wall studs, which
are generally found on 16" centers. Prior to drilling all holes, check to be sure that the
bracket is vertically level.
Attach one bracket to wall stud by fastening one #10 x 2" screw through the top
mounting hole in bracket. Use a level to position the second bracket at the same height
as the first bracket and fasten it to a wall stud using one 2" screw through the top
mounting hole.
Center the shelf on the brackets. Fasten a #8 screw through rear most mounting hole on
each bracket. Confirm that the shelf folds properly and adjust position of brackets
if necessary.
Finish securing the brackets to the wall by fastening #10 x 2" screws through the second
top mounting hole and through one of two bottom mounting holes.
Finish securing the brackets to the shelf by fastening #8 screws through the second rear
mounting hole and through one of two front mounting holes.
