WALL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Select the corner where you would like to hang your
MaxTrap. Ideally, the center of the MaxTrap should be
placed at the same height as your ears when seated in
your listening position but this is exible if room décor or
listening position dictates otherwise.
uUse a bubble level and pencil to make two horizontal
lines out from the corner where you want the top of the
MaxTrap to be.
vMeasure out from the corner 8.5 inches and mark a
vertical line. This line represents the edge of the beveled
wall cleat that will be closest to the corner.
wFrom the top line measure down 3.75 inches and mark
a short horizontal line. This line represents the top of the
beveled wall cleat.
uv w u
3.75”
8.5”
Pre-drill two 1/8” holes in each beveled wall cleat. Drive
two heavy duty Phillips screw into each wall cleat so the
tips of the screws slightly protrude. This will help tto mark
the plastic anchor locations in the next step.
Line the beveled wall cleats up with the lines you
marked on the wall in steps 2 and 3. Press the screw tips
into the wall to mark the positions for the plastic drywall
anchors.
Push the four plastic anchors into the wall where you
marked in step 5. Tap lightly with a hammer to drive the
anchor in and screw the plastic anchor ush to the wall.
Screw the beveled wall cleats into the plastic anchors.
Ensure the beveled edge is on top and facing the wall as
shown in the diagram.
With the help of a second person, lift the completed
MaxTrap assembly up and gently rest the back of the
Maxtrap down onto the beveled wall cleats. The beveled
edges on the stretchers and cleats will lock together and
safely support the MaxTrap.
