7. Hold the Guide Rail Bracket (#06) in the marked position and mark the hole for drilling through the Guide Rail Bracket (#06) using a pencil (or center punch). (Fig 9) The guide block bracket should be centered in the bracket as shown to allow for vertical adjustment both up and down. (=) CL (=) Fig 9 8. **Drill a Ø5/16” anchor hole and insert a Wall Anchor (#16). Separate the Guide Rail Bracket (#06) components (6a and 6b). Install the Guide Rail Wall Bracket (#06b) to the wall using one ST4.
