FIXING OF WALL PLATE AND/ OR FLOOR PLATE
Firstly check the substrate where you intend to fix your hinged arm support, ensuring that it is sound. Also check the type of substrate you intend to fix to e.g. brick/ block timber or concrete. Always check the type of fixing you are going to use on this substrate for their compatibility.To fit the hinged arm support, choose the area where you intend to fix the product, offer up and mark the wall through the fixing holes, ensuring that you keep the arm level and square.Ensure that the wall mounted retaining clip is fixed to the wall towards the top of the arm. (see fig. 1)

RECOMMENDED FIXINGS
As substrate can vary considerably, we do not recommend particular fixings, but we suggest that chemical fixings should be your first option for solid brick/ block and coach bolts onto timber frames constructed from a minimum of 75 mm x 75 mm soft wood. We cannot however accept liability for your choice of fixing and recommend that all hinged arm support products are installed by an experienced and competent fitter. We recommend that if you are in any doubt, you consult a reputable fixing supplies company such as Hilti or Fischer. Never install any hinged arm support directly onto plaster board, MDF (medium- density fibreboard), chipboard or other composite material. This will seriously compromise the safety of the user Never drill through pre-stressed concrete to install a hinged arm support. Always check for concealed electrical cables when installing hinged arm supports. Also check your legal requirements under the NICE IC 16th Edition relating to Earth bonding of extraneous metal parts.

ADJUSTMENT OF LEGS (IF APPLICABLE)
Before fixing a hinged arm support with leg, remove the ‘E’ clip from the extension leg and extend the leg to the desired height ensuring you do not exceed the last punched hole of the extension leg. (see fig. 2). Once you have achieved the desired height; reinstall the ‘E’ clip, ensuring that it has passed through the extension leg and is fitting neatly and snug around the outside leg. (see fig. 3).
