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.
Drilling holes and mounting the station:
1. Remove the station from the shipping container and check for any freight damage.
Identify the best location for installing the baby changing station. Hold the unit in place,
open the bed, and make sure that there is adequate operating clearance.
2. Based upon the type of wall on which the unit will be mounted, determine the best
method of mounting. Not all of the included hardware may be required for proper
installation.
3. The vertical unit has four mounting holes provided in the back wall of the unit, which are
positioned on a 16" (406 mm) stud center. If possible, locate the wood or metal wall studs
for fastening the changing station in the desired location. If the walls do not have studs
on center as outlined, make sure at least one side of the unit is installed into the stud. Use
toggles (may need to purchase) for holes on the other side.
4. Find the stud where you will be attaching the left side of the changing station to the wall.
Measure 59" (1499 mm) up from the floor, at the center of the stud, and mark the wall. Line
up the top left mounting hole with this mark, then use a measuring tape and level to mark
the remaining three mounting holes. This will locate the bottom of the station 27" (686 mm)
from the floor and the top of the bed at 34" (864 mm).
5. If the wall has wood studs on 16" (406 mm) centers, drill 1/8" (3 mm) pilot holes at the
marks and use the four 1/4" x 3" (6 mm x 76 mm) panhead tapping screws with supplied
washers. If the wall is masonry or tile over wood studs, use a 7/32" (6 mm) masonry drill
until you hit the stud, then proceed to drill 1/8" (3 mm) pilot holes into the studs and use the
four 1/4" x 3" (6 mm x 76 mm) screws with supplied washers.
6. 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" 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.
