Baseboard
Decide where you want to place the bookcase in your room. Mark the baseboard with a pencil
mark directly behind the location where the tipping restraint is attached to your item. Move the
item away from the wall far enough to allow you to access the spot where the baseboard meets
the floor. Position the straps and Plastic Bracket (B) as shown in Figures 3 and 3a with the
angled corners of the Plastic Bracket (B) firmly placed against the seam of the baseboard and
floor. Attach by driving #8 x 3" Pan Head Screws (D) through the holes in the Plastic Bracket (B)
into the seam below the baseboard where it meets the floor. See Figures 3 and 3a.

Page 5 — 24-36W_60-84H_Finished — 9/20
Move the item back into position against the wall and reach underneath the bookcase to grasp
the loop in the free end of the strap. Pull the free end of the strap until portion between the Cam
Buckle (A) and the bottom of the item is tight. See Figures 4 and 4a. If you need to move the
bookcase reach beneath and locate the buckle which connects the two sections of the strap and
depress the release lever, then pull on the section of strap that is between the buckle and the
bottom of the furniture until there is enough slack to allow you to pull the item away from the wall.
