If you have a stone or tile floor or do not wish to drive screws into the corner of the baseboard
and floor see the instruction included inside the tipping restraint kit for an alternate
installation.
4. Decide where you want to place the piece of furniture 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 4
and 4a 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 4
and 4a.

5. Move the item back into position against the wall and reach underneath the piece of furniture 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 back apron of the item is tight. See Figures 5 and 5a. If you need
to move the piece of furniture 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 back apron of the furniture until there is enough slack to allow you
to pull the item away from the wall.
