A 3/8″ masonry drill bit will be needed.
- Place the Instrument back over the drilled out holes. Insert provided anchor bolts into aligned holes. Position anchor nut so that it is flush with the top of the bolt. Pound anchor bolts into the hole until the anchor washer is flush with the surface mount base. Tighten anchor bolts until they are snug. Cover remaining bolt sections with provided nut caps.
