ALTO LEANING BOOKCASE

6 With the assistance of another adult, position
assembled unit against wall in desired location. Verify
back edges of shelves all touch the wall as illustrated.
Bracket attached to the 3rd shelf should also be
touching the wall. Mark location of the bracket
mounting hole on the wall. Move shelf out of workspace.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

For safe installation it is essential
to use hardware appropriate for
your wall type. Mount to wood
wall studs whenever possible. If
you are unsure of what type of
fasteners to use, consult your
local hardware store or a qualified
professional. This product is only
deterrent, it is not a substitute for
proper adult supervision.

Mounting to masonry wall:

Drill a 3/16" diameter hole at the mark. Insert wall anchor
into hole and gently tap until flush with a hammer. Move
shelf back to its final location by aligning the bracket hole
and anchor. Verify that back edges of shelves are against
the wall and attach using 1 medium screw.
Discard toggle bolt as it is not necessary.

Masonry wall mounting

Mounting to drywall:

A. Drill a 5/8"diameter hole at the mark. Locate the toggle
bolt. The toggle bolt consists of a screw and the toggle wings.

Unscrew these two parts, put screw through bracket hole
and reattach toggle wings with a few turns of the screw.

B. Move the unit back to its final location. Fold toggle
wings and insert into hole. Toggle wings will unfold inside
hole. Tighten toggle screw with a flat head screwdriver
while pulling firmly toward you. As screw tightens, verify that
back edges of shelves are against the wall. If not, re-adjust
and continue tightening screw until secure. Discard anchor
and medium screw as they are not necessary.

CLEANING AND CARE

Clean wood surfaces with a damp cloth. Do not use
furniture wax or polish as the wood is finished with a
protective clear lacquer.
