Wall Bracket Helpful Tips
• Bracket “ears” will point downward
• Bracket measurements are on-center (is means measure from the middle of the hole)
• e distance between the two wall brackets is the MOST IMPORTANT measurement and should take precedence over the
bracket distance from the oor (if there is a discrepancy). For the rack to stow properly, this measurement should be made
precisely within a 1/4"
• Standard studs are spaced 16” apart and correspond with the four outside holes
• e center hole is only used if studs are spaced 24”
• Do not over tighten lag screws. Overtightening may strip the pilot hole
Mount Lower Bracket
1. Beginning with the right stud, measure 19” up from the oor and drill a pilot hole into the stud
2. Fasten a wall bracket to this stud with a lag screw and washer, but do not tighten it all the way
3. Using the same measurement on the lemost stud, drill a pilot hole and fasten the le side of the wall bracket in the same
fashion. Before tightening, use a plumb line to ensure wall brackets are level and vertically aligned. If your oor is not level, use
a level to ensure bracket is exactly horizontal
4. Finally, drill pilot holes through the two remaining holes (leaving the center hole) and fasten lag screws, but do not tighten
Locate Studs
1. Prole® PRO Squat Rack with Kipping™ Bar is designed to be mounted to wooden studs with standard 16” or 24” spacing, with
or without drywall
2. For mounting your rack to a wall with non-standard stud spacing, please see or email us at [e-mail]
3. PRx recommends professional installation for mounting the wall brackets to a block, concrete, or metal stud wall
4. Use a stud nder to locate the rightmost stud where you intend to install the right side of your Rack
5. Begin at the height of your lower bracket (19”)
6. With a stud nder, locate both the le and right edge of the stud and mark them with a pencil
7. Mark the center of the stud between the edges with a pencil
8. Find and mark the same stud at the height of the Wall Brackets (19" and 88")
9. Locate and mark the remaining three studs in the same fashion. (If your studs are spaced 24”, you will locate only two more)
Mount Upper Bracket
1. Using the same procedure as with the lower bracket, attach the upper bracket exactly 69” from center to center about 88” above
the oor (see table below for alternative options).
2. Level the top bracket rst. Fully tighten the top lag screws. **DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN**. Hang a plumb line from the le ear
and align the bottom bracket
3. Once in line and level, tighten all remaining screws
4. If, for any reason you can't mount the brackets at the recommended height, please use table below
Lower Bracket

13" 75" 88"

**Top bracket may be adjusted in 3" increments below recommended height. e measure between brackets must be
subracted accordingly and extra hardware may be required
To lower Kipping™ Bar, purchase (2) 5/8" x 4-1/2" hex head bolts with nuts and washers

Linkage Arms to Wall Brackets
1. Place the small side of the Plastic Spacer (#9) in the straight, gas shock facing portion of unbent end of the
linkage arm (as pictured above)
2. Place the linkage arm with the Plastic Spacer (#9) facing the inside of the wall bracket “ear”
3. Attach using a 1-¾” hex head bolt (#10) and ⅝” washer (#11) on the outside of the wall bracket “ear” and a
⅝” washer and ⅝” Nyloc Nut (#12) on the opposite side
4. Tighten using a 15/16” socket and 15/16” wrench
5. NOTE: DO NOT over tighten any of the pivot points. is may result in the rack feeling “sti ” moving up
and down. It should move up and down freely
6. Repeat so all four linkage arms are attached to the wall brackets
7. NOTE: DO NOT attach the shocks to the wall brackets at this point of assembly

Attach Kipping Bar To Uprights
1. Lay uprights on ground facing upward (with space between for Kipping Bar)
2. Lay the Kipping Bar flat on the ground so it is curving upward between the tops of the uprights (see
diagram). *The top of the uprights will not have a plug.
3. If needed, rotate the Kipping Bar so hole A aligns with the 5th side hole down from the top of the
uprights.
4. Using a 4 1/2” hex head bolt, two 5/8” washers, and one 5/8” Nylock nut connect hole A of the Kipping
Bar to the 5th hole down from the top of the upright (see diagram). You will need to lift uprights slightly
so that the holes align. Do not fully tighten (hand tighten).
5. Lift top of Kipping Bar off the ground until the Kipping Bar arms hang down to align hole B with the top
hole of the uprights. Attach the Kipping Bar to the uprights using a 5” hex head bolt, two 5/8” washers,
and one 5/8” Nylock nut. Do not fully tighten (hand tighten).
6. Tighten bolts in holes A and C, but leave B loose (this will come off when we attach the rack to the top
linkage arms).
7. Team lift rack into place (approximately 20" from the wall), and begin attaching linkage arms starting at
the top.
