ASSEMBLING AND PREPARING
Securing the product to a wall (optional)
(Depending on model)
1 Insert and tighten the eye-bolts, or product
brackets and bolts on the back of the product.
- If there are bolts inserted at the eye-bolts
position, remove the bolts first.
2 Mount the wall brackets with the bolts to the
wall.
Match the location of the wall bracket and the
eye-bolts on the rear of the product.
3 Connect the eye-bolts and wall brackets tightly
with a sturdy rope.
Make sure to keep the rope horizontal with the
flat surface.
NOTE
Make sure that children do not climb on or
hang on the product.
Use a platform or cabinet that is strong and
large enough to support the product securely.
Brackets, bolts and ropes are optional. You
can obtain additional accessories from your
local dealer.
The illustration shows a general example of
installation and may look different from the
actual product.
CAUTION
If a product is not positioned in a sufficiently
stable location, it can be potentially
hazardous due to falling. Many injuries,
particularly to children, can be avoided by
taking simple precautions such as:
»Using cabinets or stands recommended
by the manufacturer of the product.
»Only using furniture that can safely
support the product.
»Ensuring the product is not overhanging
the edge of the supporting furniture.
»Not placing the product on tall furniture
(for example, cupboards or bookcases)
without anchoring both the furniture and
the product to a suitable support.
»Not standing the product on cloth or other
materials placed between the product
and supporting furniture.
»Educating children about the dangers of
climbing on furniture to reach the product
or its controls.
