Locate, identify, and count all arts before starting the installation to ensure that all are correct and
corres ond to the acking list/ roduction drawings. If any arts are missing or damaged, DO NOT
SUBSTITUTE. Contact your authorized dealer or the manufacturer for assistance in obtaining the
correct art.
Also review roduction drawings to ensure that building conditions have not changed since the initial
field check. Verify overall height and width noted on drawings.
INSTALLATION PREPARATION
Before installing a wall mounted backsto unit, it
is im erative the structural integrity of the wall has
been evaluated and a roved by an architect or
structural engineer for the loads that will be
im arted to the wall by the backsto .
The best wall construction for use with wall
mounted backsto s is concrete masonry units
(CMU) or solid concrete anel. Further, through
bolting of the wood ads to the wall is the
recommended method of attachment. However,
when through bolting is not ossible, the anchors
used must be of a ty e that will rovide at least 5
times the load listed for the anchor oint of the
unit. All anchors, including through bolts, must be
minimum ½” diameter and at least SAE Grade 5
equivalent material.
Mounting the wall mounted backsto to a wood
or metal stud structure is not recommended or
a roved by the manufacturer unless the
structure has been reinforced as s ecifically
designed by an architect or structural engineer
for the desired wall mounted unit.
Please refer to the load charts on the following
age for information concerning the s ecific unit
being installed.
