ANTI-TIP SAFETY HARDWARE INSTALLATION
WARNING
• Serious or fatal crushing injuries can occur from furniture tip-over. To
help prevent tip-over: Place the heaviest items on the lower shelves.
• Do not set TVs or other heavy objects on top of this product unless the
product is specifically designed to accommodate them.
- Never allow children to climb or hang on shelves.
- Use of tip-over restraints may only reduce, but not eliminate, the risk of
tip-over.
- Install tip-over restraint provided.
• This product is only a deterrent. It is not a substitute for proper adult
supervision. The manufacturer assumes no liability for improper
installation or excessive loads placed on screws, brackets, or straps.
• Young children may be injured by tipping furniture and the use of a
tipping restraint is highly recommended.
• When properly installed, this restraint will provide protection against
tipping of furniture. This tipping restraint must be secured to a wall
stud or wall structure of similar strength.
NOTE:
• For safe mounting, it is essential to use the proper hardware for your
wall type. The included hardware is for stud mounting only.
• If the mounting bracket cannot be secured to a wall stud because of
inappropriate spacing and/or because you have a different wall type
(e.g., plaster, concrete, brick, etc.) please consult your local hardware
store for fastener advice.
TO INSTALL:
1) LOCATING THE STUDS: Use a stud finder to locate the vertical
wooden studs within your wall located behind the final position of the
furniture item. Mark the stud locations with a light pencil mark.
2) MOUNTING THE FURNITURE-SIDE BRACKET: Move the furniture item
close to the wall to its final position.
• Use pieces of tape or a pencil to transcribe the stud locations of the
wall onto the furniture item.
• Move the furniture item again so you can access its back and use the
marks to locate a suitable mounting point for the furniture-side
bracket.
• Make sure that the bracket is secured to a firm portion of the furniture
frame and as high as possible.
• Remember: The furniture-side bracket must be positioned near a wall
stud. Using a pencil, and the bracket as a guide, mark "screw marks" on
the furniture item through the bracket holes. Use a 3/32" drill bit to
drill pilot holes into the furniture item at the "screw marks".
• Secure the expansion nuts in place prior to using the two short screws to secure the furniture side bracket. This bracket can be
positioned either vertically or horizontally as necessary.
3) MOUNTING THE WALL-SIDE BRACKET: Position the wall-side bracket along the selected stud mark so that it will be adjacent to the
furniture-side bracket when the furniture item is moved to its final position. The wall-side bracket should be about one inch lower
than the furniture-side bracket. Use the two long screws to secure the wall-side bracket to the wall. Remember to position the
wall-side bracket vertically so that both screws will engage the selected wall stud.
4) ATTACHING THE STRAP: When both brackets are securely attached, move the furniture to its final desired position and thread the
strap through the openings of each bracket and also through the ratcheting "buckle". Tighten the strap until several clicks are heard.
The furniture item is now securely tethered to the wall .
• Note: If you must move the furniture item, you can release the strap by depressing the lever arm located at its buckle and
simultaneously withdrawing the strap from the buckle. Make sure to reconnect the strap once the furniture item is returned to its
previous position.
