Remove Can Crusher from its container and mount on a solid surface high enough
to prevent small children from using it.
Remove the Steel Wire Basket (14) by squeezing it together where it joins the Can
Crusher Frame (2). A small amount of pressure will allow the rod ends to release
from their slots and the Steel Wire Basket can be set aside while mounting the Can
Crusher.
Use a pencil to mark where mounting screws will be located.
Preferred method of mounting: Find a vertical stud behind wallboard and fasten
a support board (not included) approximately the same size as the Bottom Plate
(1) to the stud. Secure it with nails (not included), or screws (not included) and
mount the Can Crusher to the support board (not included) using four wood screws
(not included). Always be careful not to nail or screw into hidden electrical wires
or cables.
Alternate method of mounting: Use dry-wall anchors (not included), one in
each corner, and screws (not included) to securely mount the Bottom Plate (1) to
drywall.
Replace the Steel Wire Basket (14) by lining up the rod ends with the holes on the
Can Crusher Frame (2), squeezing the Basket slightly and slipping the rod ends
into the holes.
