Lake Shore Watch-Me-Walk Safety Bar User manual

Securing Bar to a Wall with Studs
The first thing to do is find a location for your safety bar. Be sure that
the bottom of the safety bar is at least 12" from the floor or moulding.
Otherwise, the bottom mirror will not fit into place. (See cover illustration.)
Using a stud locator, find the wall studs. The studs should be 16" apart
(the same distance between the holes on the safety bar). Mark the location
of the studs with a pencil. Place the safety bar over the studs and make
drilling marks through the holes in the bar with a pencil. Be sure the bar
is level before you make the drilling marks.
Put the bar down and drill 1⁄16"-wide pilot holes. Insert the 3" wood
screws through the safety bar and into the wall. Tighten the screws using
a Phillips screwdriver. Note: Do not completely tighten the bar until after
you have installed both mirrors.
Securing Bar to Drywall
If your walls are made of drywall, your safety
bar can still be secured. But, rather than using
the wood screws, you will use the machine
screws and butterfly wings, as shown at right.
Do your measuring and drill 1⁄2"-wide holes
through the drywall. Assemble screws and
butterfly wings to the bar,as shown at right.
Then, push the bar and screws into the wall
until you hear the butterfly wings “pop”
open behind the drywall.
Using minimal force, pull the bar towardyou. This will create the resis-
tance necessary to hold the butterfly wings in place while you tighten the
bolts. As you tighten the bolts, the bar will move into place. Note: Do not
completely tighten the bar until after you have installed both mirrors.

Installing the Unbreakable Mirrors
It does not matter which mirror you use as the top or bottom mirror.
Both mirrors come with a protective plastic coating. Do not remove the
plastic until directed.
Place a mirror on top of the bar so the screw holes are at the top. Be
sure the bottom of the mirror fits in the slot between the back of the
safety bar and the wall. Also, be sure the sides of the mirror are flush
with the sides of the bar.
With the mirror in place, use a pencil to mark the positions of the holes.
Remove the mirror and make three 1⁄16"-wide pilot holes with the drill.
Remove the plastic coating from the mirror. Put the mirror back in place
and secure it with three washers and three 11⁄4" screws, as shown below.
Tighten the screws with a Phillips screwdriver.
Follow the same steps to install the bottom mirror, only be sure the screw
holes are on the bottom, toward the floor. Also, make certain that the
mirror fits in the slot between the safety bar and the wall. Remember to
remove the plastic coating before you secure the mirror to the wall.
