location “A” and “8.” If you hit a stud, use l/4” x 2”
lag screws. If you hit drywall only, redrill 314”
diameter hole(s) and use toggle bolt(s).
6. Mount the wall bracket using lag screw(s) and/or
toggle bolt(s) and secure to wall. See Figure 6.
The toggle bolts are used by inserting the bolt through
the wall bracket and screwing the spring toggle heads
about l/2” onto each bolt. Then push the bolts into
the 314” holes in the drywall and tighten.

area with a thin nail through the closest large wall
bracket hole.
If you do not know how to locate a wall stud, consult a
