Note to installers:
Due to the wide variety of wall structures, materials and mounting methods, the
installing contractor must exercise proper judgment in selecting the mounting area and
hardware.
As a guide, the installation, when complete should be capable of supporting 5 to 10
times the actual applied load. Always use a backup safety system such as a safety
cable.
To assure a trouble-free installation, read through and follow these instructions
carefully before beginning. If you have doubts about the integrity of the structure
you are mounting to or you are not sure about the proper hardware to use, consult a
structural and/or hardware specialist.
