Attaching To Wall Anchor Method
For attaching mounting bracket to hollow
walls (wall areas between studs) or solid walls
(concrete or masonry)

Tap anchor flush to wall.
4. For thin walls [1/2" (1.3 cm) or less], insert
red key into wall anchor. Push red key to
"pop" open anchor wings. IMPORTANT:
Do not hammer key! For thick walls [over
1/2" (1.3 cm) thick] or solid walls, do not pop
open wings.
5. Place mounting bracket onto wall. Line up
last hole on each end of bracket with wall
anchors.
6. Insert mounting screws through bracket
and into wall anchors.
