1. Hold the wall wedge at desired location. With a pencil, mark on wall the top
outside corners of the wall wedge. These marks will be used to determine
the location of the mounting hardware.

2. Measure down from the top of the wall wedge to the top of the keyhole
notches. Measure in from the side of the wall wedge to the top of the
keyhole notches. Record these measurements on the wall, using the
marks in step 1 as a guide. Align the two measurements until they
intersect. This is the insertion point of the mounting hardware. Use
a carpenter's level to ensure the wall wedge will be level.

3. For stud mounting: skip to step 4. For drywall mounting: using a
Phillips head screwdriver, insert the drywall anchors (A) into the
wall at the insertion points. Press and turn clockwise until anchors
are flush with the wall.

4. Insert screws (B) into the anchors or at the insertion points, leaving
approximately 1/2" between the back of the screw head and the wall.

5. Align keyhole notches over the screw heads.

6. Slide the wall wedge down until it rests on the screws. Tighten or loosen
screws as needed to fit the wall wedge snugly against the wall.
