How to mount the brackets

For mounting the brackets it is used a threaded steel pin which, on one hand, is screwed into the back of the bracket (see figure), and, on the other, is attached to the wall by means of an expansion bolt.Once fastened the brackets, loosen the lugs using the nuts and place the tombstones on the top edge of the body of each bracket; lower brackets are load-bearing while the upper ones are blocking the headstone through the lugs.
