It is always recommended that only a carpenter or a qualified person should perform the installation of baby changing station unit. Changing stations are built with both plastics and metals, thus to insure proper installation and compliance to building codes, baby changing stations must be properly installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Baby changing stations can be either recessed or surface mounted. Both are safe to hold infants and children up to a certain weight. You can choose which model to have installed depending on where you will be mounting it inside your home or commercial restrooms. Safety straps will be included in the station as a safety precaution for moving babies.
Koala Bear Kare® Baby Changing Stations have been tested to hold a static load of up to 400 pounds. To do this, the unit must be properly installed onto a permanent wall that is capable of supporting that much weight, and can accommodate the supplied installation hardware. The Koala Bear Kare® Baby Changing Station meets ADA regulations when properly installed.
Mounting a vertical baby changing stations:
1. Remove the station from the shipping container and check for any freight damage. Identify the best location for installing the baby changing station. Hold the unit in place, open the bed, and make sure that there is adequate operating clearance.
2. Based upon the type of wall on which the unit will be mounted, determine the best method of mounting. Not all of the included hardware may be required for proper installation.
3. The vertical unit has four mounting holes provided in the back wall of the unit, which are positioned on a 16” stud center. If possible, locate the wood or metal wall studs for fastening the baby changing station in the desired location. If the walls do not have studs on center as outlined, make sure at least one side of the unit is installed into the stud. Use toggles (supplied) for holes on the other side.
4. Find the stud where you will be attaching the left side of the changing station to the wall. Measure 63” up from the floor (59” ADA), at the center of the stud, and mark the wall. Line up the top left mounting hole with this mark, then use a measuring tape and level to mark the remaining three mounting holes. This will locate the bottom of the station 31” from the floor (27” ADA).
5. If the wall has wood studs on 16” centers, drill 1/8” pilot holes at the marks and use the four ¼” x 3” panhead tapping screws with supplied washers. If the wall is masonry or tile over wood studs, use a 7/32” masonry drill until you hit the stud, then proceed to drill 1/8” pilot holes into the studs and use the four 1/4” x 3” screws with supplied washers.
