CAUTION: Adhesive bonds on contact. Avoid getting adhesive on skin, in eyes or on clothes. Keep out of the reach of children. Use with care.

Before You Begin:

• Position the equipment where it is going to be used. Plan your anchor, cable and padlock locations for each piece of equipment to be secured. Consider where each anchor will be mounted along with the direction of the anchor loop.
• Select the best location on the equipment to mount the anchor. Be certain the mounting surface is completely flat and has no curves. Anchors are best applied when the mounting surface is horizontal. Tip the equipment if necessary.
• Clean mounting surface. If you are applying the anchor to a painted or metal surface, remove the paint first by lightly sanding.
• Be aware that the adhesive sets in seconds and the anchor cannot be removed or adjusted.
• Some equipment cases are made with a type of plastic that makes an immediate bond difficult. Follow the same application instructions outlined here, but allow the anchor to remain in place without movement (preferably weighted down) for 24 hours.

1. Apply a liberal bead of adhesive to the anchor as shown. Adhesive is moisture activated so it may be helpful to lightly blow on the wet adhesive. Use enough adhesive so that when the anchor is pressed into place, the adhesive will spread to cover 100% of the anchor's mounting surface.
2. Press the anchor against the equipment case without twisting and hold it firmly in place for at least 60 seconds. It is normal for some adhesive to ooze out of the sides. Wipe away any excess adhesive with a tissue.
3. Allow several hours for the adhesive to fully set. Maximum bond is achieved after 24 hours.

1. Carefully consider the location of the anchor and the bolt hole. Be sure there is enough clearance behind the equipment case for the bolt in order to avoid internal equipment damage.
2. Remove the equipment case and mark it in the desired location. Drill a 1/4" hole in the equipment case. Clean the mounting surface. 
3. Thread the bolt all the way into the hole in the anchor by hand.
4. Apply a liberal bead of adhesive to the anchor as shown. Adhesive is moisture activated so it may be helpful to lightly blow on the wet adhesive. Use enough adhesive so that when the anchor is pressed into place, the adhesive will spread to cover 100% of the anchor’s mounting surface.
5. Pass the bolt through the hole in the equipment case and press the anchor against the case without twisting. Hold it firmly in place for at least 60 seconds. It is normal for some adhesive to ooze out of the sides. Wipe away any excess adhesive with a tissue.
6. Thread the nut firmly onto the bolt on the inside of the equipment case.
7. Allow several hours for the adhesive to fully set. Maximum bond is achieved after 24 hours.
