Construction
Koala Kare baby changing station is fabricated of rotationally molded high density polypropylene with Microban antimicrobial additive embedded into the plastic material. Equipped with a pneumatic cylinder for controlled opening and closing. Bed is secured to back with a reinforced full length steel pivot rod in a metal tube hinge. No hinge structure is exposed on interior or exterior surfaces. Graphical instructions and safety messages in four languages included.
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.
1. Remove the station from the shipping container and check for any freight damage.
Identify the best location for installing the unit. Hold the unit in place and open the bed.
Make sure you have taken the operating clearance into consideration.
2. Determine the best method of mounting based on the type of wall. You may have
to purchase toggles.
3. The oval unit has four mounting holes provided in the back wall, positioned on a
16” (406 mm) stud center. If possible, locate the wood or metal studs for fastening the unit
in the desired location. If the walls do not have studs on 16” center as outlined, make sure
at least one side of the unit is installed into the stud. Use toggles for holes on the opposite
side.
4. Find the stud where you will be attaching the left side of the unit to the wall.
Measure up from the floor 42¼” (1,073 mm), at the center of the stud, and mark the
wall. Mark remaining holes using a measuring tape to make sure the holes are precisely
positioned. Hold unit in place to verify. Use a 1/8” drill bit to make pilot holes then use four
¼” x 3” panhead wood screws with washers (supplied) to secure the unit to the studs.
If the wall surface is masonry or tile over studs, use a 7/32” masonry drill bit for the
pilot hole until you hit the stud. Change bit to 1/8” regular drill bit. Use four ¼” x 3” panhead
wood screws with washers (supplied).
If the wall has wood studs that are not on 16” (406 mm) centers, has metal studs
or an underlying surface of concrete block, drill with a ½” masonry bit. (You may have to
purchase toggles before installing.) You must allow a minimum of inside wall space for
toggles to turn, depending on toggles used. Insert and tighten toggles.
5. Once the unit has been secured to the wall, use the two screw hole plugs provided
to cap the upper two mounting hole recesses. Position the plug over the recess and push it
into place using hand pressure. Do not hammer the plug in as it will damage the plug. Once
the plug is flush with the surface stop pushing and install the second one.
6. Position Koala sign (supplied) on the outside of the restroom door.
Unit shall conform to ICC A117.1-2009
Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities, ASTM F 2285-04 Standard Consumer
Safety Performance Specification for Diaper Changing Tables for Commercial
Use, ANSI Z535.4 Product Safety Signs and Labels, EN 12221:2008, and ASTM G21 Antifungal Standards or local code if more stringent installation
requirements are applicable for Barrier-free accessibility. Unit shall comply with ADA
regulations when properly installed.
Operation

and closing of bed. High-density polyethylene is easy to clean and resists odors and
bacterial growth. Complies with ASTM static load performance requirements when
properly installed.
