mounting surface and be secured with flat washers,
lock washers, and nuts on the opposite side. Each
bolt must have a minimum pull-out strength of 200 kg
(450 lb).
c. If studs are used, they should be anchored in
concrete or welded to a steel backer plate. Each
stud must have a minimum pull out strength of 200 kg
(450 lb).
c. If studs are used, they should be anchored in
concrete or welded to a steel backer plate. Each
stud must have a minimum pull out strength of 200 kg
(450 lb).
d. If the wall mount is attached to wood or to a blind
structure (with no access to the rear), each fastener
must have a minimum pull-out strength of at least 200
kg (450 lb).
3. Locate the four holes or stud locations using the flange as
a template (four holes equally spaced on a 69.9-mm (2-3/4-
