Installation Instructions

Step 1:
- Inspect contents and remove changing station from the shipping container and check for any freight damage. If damage is found, please call Koala Kare Products’ Customer Service at 888.733.3456.
- Identify the best location for installing the unit
Step 2:
- Remove the bed and chassis from the box. Open the main unit by pulling up on the frame and remove the plastic liner dispenser. Set it to one side. Fig. 1
- Make sure you have taken into consideration the operating clearance of 1 3/4″ (45mm) on both sides of the exposed chassis and 36 5/8″ (238mm) from wall surface when open.
  For Wood Stud Wall
- Measure from the floor 37 7/16″ (951mm) on stud center and mark the wall. The mounting holes are designed for 16″ (406mm) stud centers. Ensure the locations you have marked for the mounting holes are level before drilling. Fig. 2 Drill pilot holes for keyhole mounting using a 1/8″ regular drill bit.
- If the wall has wooden studs that are not on 16″ (406mm) centers, you will need to use toggles to secure one side of the unit. The other side should be secured to the stud using the screws provided. You must allow for space inside the wall for the toggles to turn. This will vary depending on the toggles used.
  For Masonry or Tile over Stud Wall
- Use a 7/32″ (5mm) masonry drill bit for the pilot hole until you hit the stud. Change bit to 1/8″ (3mm) regular drill bit.
  For Metal Stud or Concrete Block
  If the wall has metal studs or an underlying surface of concrete block, you will need to use toggles to secure one side of the unit. The other side should be secured to the stud using the screws provided. You must allow for space inside the wall for the toggles to turn. This will vary depending on the toggles used
Step 3:
- Mount bed and chassis by screwing two of the mounting screws into the pilot holes leaving 1/4″ (6.4mm) exposed to allow keyhole slots to be easily mounted over the screw heads. Fig. 3
- Place chassis over screws. Fig. 4
- After securing the unit using the keyhole slots, verify that the unit is level. Tighten top two screws so that they are flush with the wall.
- Use the four lower holes as a guide to mark and drill pilot holes. Use remaining four screws and four washers to complete installation of bed and mounting bracket. Insert washers over lower four screws. Fig. 5
- All six screws and four washers must be properly mounted to the chassis
Step 6:
- To install the bag hook, measure up 44″ (1118mm) from finished floor in the desired location and mark the wall.
- Position the bag hook on the wall so that the top of the mounting plate is level with the 44″ (1118mm) mark.
- Position the bag hook over a wall stud for optimal strength.
- Mark then predrill the mounting holes. Fig. 7
- Use the provided screws to secure the bag hook in position, then take the escutcheon plate and screw it over the mounting plate to cover the mounting screws. Fig. 8
