| DRILLING
HOLES IN WOOD BARRE TO MOUNT EXTENSION STUDS (omit
if pre-drilled wood barre is used) |
| Locate
a strong place on the wall for each bracket to be mounted (eg. over wood studs) and make
a vertical mark at the center of each location. Take accurate measurements
between these marks and mark the distance off on the Wood Barre.
First use a 3/8" drill and make all holes 7/8" deep (NO
DEEPER). Then go back to each hole with a smaller 5/16" drill
and, in the same hole, go down another 5/8" making the total
dept 1 1/2". |
| |
| It
is important that these holes are exactly parallel to each other
and perpendicular to the Wood Barre. (A drill press makes this job
easier. |
| |
DO
NOT DRILL THROUGH BARRE! |

Based
on 1 3/4" minimum diameter with excellent tensile strength |
1
5/8" minimum diameter Wood Barre |

| LOCATING
BRACKETS |
| Like
a ruler, the distance between the holes in the Wood Barre will designate
the location of the brackets on the wall. Mark these distances off
on the wall and use a level to make perfectly vertical lines at
the marks. (Vertical lines should start at 29" from floor and
go up the wall about 15".) |

| MOUNTING
CHANNELS ON WALL |
| Hold
each Channel on the wall over one of the vertical lines so that
you can see the line through the holes in the Channel where the
mounting screws will go. With a pencil, make little circles on the
wall through the screw holes to mark where you will drill. There
is a “Nut Stop” pressed into one end of each Channel
and it should be at the bottom which should be 29" from the
floor. Of course walls will vary in construction and consequently
so will the type of fastener needed to mount the Channel. The screws
provided will work well on most walls with wooden studs. To use
these screws, the holes in the wooden studs should be drilled slightly
smaller than the diameter of the screws to assure a snug fit. |

| MOUNTING
EXTENSION STUDS IN WOOD BARRE |
| Screw
all Extension Studs into the Wood Barre clockwise by hand until
the shoulders touch the wood. An additional 1/2 turn (NO MORE) may
be necessary to straighten out the Extension Studs and make them
all perpendicular to the Wood Barre and parallel to each other.
Screw on Wing Nuts, Washers, and Square Nuts exactly as shown in
illustration. |

| MOUNTING BARRE ASSEMBLY |
| Pick up barre assembly
and slide the Square Nut, on the end of each Extension Stud, into
the top slot of its corresponding Channel, (Washers and Wing Nuts
are outside.) Tighten the Wing Nuts when the barre is at your desired
height. To adjust barre, loosen the Wing Nut and slide it up and
down the Channel, then retighten the Wing Nut. Grab the Wood Barre
at the point where the Extension Stud screws in and wiggle the barre
up and down when tightening and loosening the Wing Nut. |
