installed exactly 24" (610) from the front of the rough
opening to the back of the brackets and a minimum of 4"
(102) from the sides of the rough opening. This depth will
increase to 26

on
3

ensure that the anti-tip brackets engage the anti-tip bar at
the back of the unit.
IMPORTANT NOTE: F
or either wood or concrete floor
applications, if the #12 x 2

anchors.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In some installations the subflooring
or finished floor may necessitate angling the screws used
to fasten the anti-tip brackets to the back wall.
