INSTALLATION:
To ensure proper installation and compliance to building codes, it is recommended that a qualified
person or carpenter perform the installation of the unit. The unit must be properly installed onto a
permanent wall that is capable of supporting significant weight and can accommodate the supplied
installation hardware. The Koala Baby Changing Station meets ADA regulations when properly installed.
Installer should account for the space that a unit occupies when in the down position and with the
caregiver (whether standing or seated) in front of the unit. Locate the unit so that paths of travel are
maintained around it when being used.
1. Remove changing station from the shipping container and check for any freight damage. If damage is
found, please call Koala Kare Products’ Customer Service at 888.733.3456. Remove “Installation Kit”
and “Operator Kit” from box. Please give “Operator Kit” to facility manager or operator. Box should
contain two pieces: the bed and metal mounting chassis and the wall mount liner dispenser. Identify
the best location for installing the unit.
2. Remove the bed and chassis from the box and select the wall area where the unit will be installed.
Make sure you have taken into consideration the operating clearance of 9½" (241 mm) on both sides
of the exposed chassis and 23 3/16" (589 mm) from wall surface when open.
For Wood Stud Wall- Measure from the floor 42¼" (1073 mm) on stud center and mark the wall. The
mounting holes are designed for 16" (406 mm) stud centers. Ensure the locations you have marked
for the mounting holes are level before drilling. Drill pilot holes for keyhole mounting using a 1/8"
regular drill bit. If the wall has wooden studs that are not on 16" (406 mm) centers, you will need
to use toggles to secure one side of the unit. The other side should be secured to the stud using
the screws provided. You must allow for space inside the wall for the toggles to turn. This will vary
depending on the toggles used.
For Masonry or Tile over Stud Wall- Use a 7/32" (5 mm) masonry drill bit for the pilot hole until you hit
the stud. Change bit to 1/8" (3 mm) regular drill bit.
For Metal Stud or Concrete Block- If the wall has metal studs or an underlying surface of concrete
block, you will need to use toggles to secure one side of the unit. The other side should be secured to
the stud using the screws provided. You must allow for space inside the wall for the toggles to turn.
This will vary depending on the toggles used.
3. Screw two of the mounting screws into the pilot holes leaving ¼" (6 mm) exposed to allow keyhole
slots to be easily mounted over the screw heads. Place chassis over screws. After securing the unit
using the keyhole slots, verify that the unit is level. Tighten top two screws so that they are flush with
the wall. Use the four lower holes as a guide to mark and drill pilot holes. Use remaining four screws
and four washers to complete installation of bed and metal mounting bracket. Insert washers over
lower four screws. All SIX screws and four washers must be mounted to the chassis.
4. Ensure liner dispenser is free from damage. Remove key, unlock, and open liner dispenser lid. This
will expose liner dispenser mounting holes. Line up dispenser mounting holes onto chassis and secure
with the four screws provided. Close and lock the liner dispenser door.
5. Clean work area and inspect unit to ensure it opens and closes smoothly. Give Operator Kit and key
to the facility operator.
