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.
NOTE:
If you are unsure about your wall type or what
mounting method you should use, consult a qualified
professional.
Mounting to drywall:
Step A: Drill a 5/8"diameter hole at the mark. Locate toggle
bolt. 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.
Step B: Move shelf back to final location. Fold toggle
wings and insert into hole. Toggle wings will unfold inside
hole. Tighten toggle screw 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 small screw as they
are not necessary.
