Before You Begin
DANGER: Risk of personal injury. These products are not
designed or intended for use as a grab bar or support bar. Do
not install any of these products in any area where they are
likely to be used inadvertently as a grab bar or support bar.
Observe all local plumbing codes and building codes.
These products should be located and mounted to a wall stud.
While it is possible to mount them to any surface, a stud
mounted product will yield the best results.
Use a level to ensure that the center lines for the wall plates are
vertical where applicable and the post center lines are horizontal
where applicable.
Kohler Co. reserves the right to make revisions in the design of
products without notice, as specified in the Price Book.

2. Prepare the Site — Wall Plate(s)
Determine the desired mounting location.
Mark the vertical and horizontal center lines for the accessory to
be installed. Consult the roughing-in diagrams to determine the
dimensions.
When installing multiple-post accessories, measure the accessories
so you can provide the required distance between the center
points.
Use a level to ensure that all center points are level.
3. Mark and Drill the Pilot Holes
Mark the pilot hole locations vertically 5/8” (1.6 cm) above and
below the center point or center points.
Vertically align the holes on each wall plate. Make sure the larger
hole is oriented as shown in the illustration.
If the installation requires multiple posts, confirm that the center
points are even using a level.
NOTE: There is no provision for later adjustment if the center points
and resulting pilot holes for multiple post accessories are not level.
Select a drill and 5/16” drill bit that are appropriate for the wall
material you will be drilling through.
Carefully drill a 5/16” hole at all marked pilot hole locations.

4. Anchor Installation
NOTE: You may need to disassemble some of the accessories. Some
accessories will be packed with the wall plate installed in the post.
Loosen the setscrew and remove the wall plate if needed.
Press and hold the legs of a wall anchor (provided) together and
insert the wall anchor legs into the hole. Insert all wall anchors
into the pre-drilled mounting holes.
With a hammer, carefully tap each wall anchor until they are
flush with the finished surface.
If the wall anchor was inserted into a space between the studs, it
will be necessary to spread the wall anchor legs.
To spread the anchor legs, insert a thin long object, such as a
finishing nail, into the wall anchor hole.
Repeat for all wall anchors inserted between studs.
Ensure that the wall anchors are flush with the finished surface.
5. Wall Plate Installation
Orient the wall plate with the large slotted mounting hole up and
the smaller hole down.
Secure the wall plate with the supplied panhead screws.
Repeat at each wall plate location.
