Installation
To ensure proper installation and compliance to building codes, it is recommended that a qualified
person or carpenter installs the Koala Baby Changing Station unit. The unit must be properly installed onto
a permanent wall that is capable of holding a substantial load and can accommodate the
supplied installation hardware. The maximum recommended total weight for this baby changing station (including baby and parcel bag) is 50 lbs. Excessive weight may cause a hazardous or unstable conditions to exist. 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.
Drilling holes and mounting the station:
1. Remove changing station from the shipping container and check for any freight damage. Identify the best location for installing the unit.
2. Remove the bed and chassis from the box. Open the main unit by pulling up on the frame and remove the plastic liner dispenser. Set it to one side.
Make sure you have taken into consideration the operating
clearance of 1 3/4” (45 mm) on both sides of the exposed chassis and 36 5/8” (238 mm) from wall
surface when open. Measure from the floor 37 7/16” (951 mm) on stud center and mark the wall.
Wood Stud Wall- The mounting holes are designed for 16” 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.
Masonry or Tile over Stud Wall- Use a 7/32” (6 mm) masonry drill bit for the pilot hole until you
hit the stud. Change bit to 1/8” (3 mm) regular drill bit.
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.
6. To install the bag hook, measure up 44" from finished floor in the desired location and mark the wall. Position the bag hook on the wall so that the top of the mounting plate is level with the 44" mark. Position the bag hook over a wall stud for optimal strength. Mark, then predrill the mounting holes. Use the provided screws to secure the bag hook in position, then take the escutcheon plate and screw it over the mounting plate to cover the mounting screws.
