Anti-Tip Bracket
WARNING
To prevent the unit from tipping forward, the anti-tip
brackets must be installed.
The two anti-tip brackets must be installed exactly 24"
(610)
from the front of the opening to the back of the
brackets and a minimum of 4"
(102) from the sides of the
opening. This depth will increase to 26
3
/16" (665) for a ush
inset installation based on
3
/4" (19) thick panels. Failure to
properly position the anti-tip brackets will prevent proper
engagement.
Use all anti-tip bracket hardware as instructed for wood or
concrete oors.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For wood or concrete oor applications,
if the #12 screws do not hit a wall stud or wall plate, use the
#8 screws and #12 washers with the wall anchors.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In some installations the subooring or
nished oor may necessitate angling the screws used to
fasten the anti-tip brackets to the back wall.
