INSTALLATION:
To ensure proper installation and compliance to building codes, it is recommended that a qualified
person or carpenter perform the installation of the unit. The unit must be properly installed onto
a permanent wall that is capable of supporting significant weight and can accommodate the
supplied installation hardware. The Koala Baby Changing Station meets ADA regulations when
properly installed. Installer should account for the space that a unit occupies when in the down
position and with the caregiver (whether standing or seated) in front of the unit. Locate the unit so
that paths of travel are maintained around it when being used.
Drilling holes and mounting the station:
1. Remove changing station from the shipping container and check for any freight damage.
If damage is found, please call Koala Kare Products' Customer Service at 888.733.3456. Remove
"Installation Kit" and "Operator Kit" from box. Please give "Operator Kit" to facility manager or
operator. Box should contain two pieces: the bed and metal mounting chassis and the wall mount
liner dispenser. Identify the best location for installing the unit.
2. Standard Installation- Remove the bed and chassis from the box and select the wall
area where the unit will be installed. Make sure you have taken into consideration the operating
clearance of 9½" (241 mm) on both sides of the exposed chassis and 23
surface when open. Measure from the floor 42¼" (1073 mm) on stud center and mark the wall.
The mounting holes are designed for 16" stud centers. Ensure the locations you have marked
for the mounting holes are level before drilling. Drill pilot holes for keyhole mounting using a 1/8"
regular drill bit.
Masonry or Tile over Stud Wall- Use a 7/32" (6 mm) masonry drill bit for the pilot hole until you
hit the stud. Change bit to 1/8" (3 mm) regular drill bit.
Metal Stud or Concrete Block- If the wall has wood studs that are not on 16" (406 mm)
centers, has metal studs or an underlying surface of concrete block, drill with a ½" (13 mm)
masonry bit. (You may have to purchase toggles before installing.) You must allow a minimum of
inside wall space for toggles to turn depending on toggles used. Insert and tighten toggles.
3. Screw two of the mounting screws into the pilot holes leaving ¼" (6 mm) exposed to
allow keyhole slots to be easily mounted over the screw heads. Place chassis over screws. After
securing the unit using the keyhole slots, verify that the unit is level. Tighten top two screws so
that they are flush with the wall. Use the four lower holes as a guide to mark and drill pilot holes.
Use remaining four screws and four washers to complete installation of bed and metal mounting
bracket. Insert washers over lower four screws. All SIX screws and four washers must be mounted
to the chassis.
4. Ensure liner dispenser is free from damage. Remove key, unlock, and open liner
dispenser lid. This will expose liner dispenser mounting holes. Line up dispenser mounting holes
onto chassis and secure with the four screws provided. Close and lock the liner dispenser door.
5. Remove protective covering from stainless steel on the front of unit. Going with the
grain, use a stainless steel cleaning product and cotton rag to remove any residue that may
remain.
6. Clean work area and inspect unit to ensure it opens and closes smoothly. Give Operator
Kit and key to the facility operator. Replacement parts and additional liners can be purchased from
your local distributor or by calling Koala at 888.733.3456 or 303.539.8300.
