3 Drill four pilot holes through the template to a depth of 2-3/4 in. (70 mm) using a 7/32 in. (5.5 mm) diameter drill bit,
then remove the template.
4 Align the wall plate with the pilot holes, insert the lag bolts through the lag bolt washers, then through the holes in the
wall plate. Make sure that the wall plate is level. Tighten the lag bolts with a socket wrench only until they are firm
against the wall plate.
Important: Make sure that you drill into the center of the studs.
CAUTION: DO NOT over-tighten the lag bolts.
