I don’t know if this is the easiest option, but I was able to select the installation info on the amazon site by dragging and clicking with my mouse, then right clicked to pull up options for the selected part, selected save as image, saved it as a jpeg, and then opened the jpeg in Paint, print from there.

ETA - used the [amazon.com](http://amazon.com) that came up in the google search you listed second to be clear.

ETA2 - can you pull up this version from Imgur, if so, then can right click, save and print locally as above.

Excellent, just don’t use the new skills you can develop with this bag on the face of anyone you like, or at least, don’t use them on me!

On a Windows 10 PC with the Edge browser:

From the OP’s first link I clicked on the rightmost thumbnail which was the instructions. That put the big instruction picture in the main picture area of the page.

Then I right-clicked on the big picture & selected the top option: [Open image in new tab]. That gave me a new browser tab consisting just of the instructions picture.

In that browser tab I clicked [print] off the menu. Viola!

The strange thing is that the package includes 4 bolts and 2 screws. I could see how the screws work, to mount on a strong wooden support, as shown in the instructions. But, the I strictions don’t show any use for the four bolts. I think maybe they’re included either as (a) standard package of hardware for this and other products, rather than more fidgety packaging for individual products, or (b) in case someone has a metal frame they’re already using and want to add this to their set?

At any rate, I’ll use the 2 big screws to mount it on a wooden post.

Thanks again all.

I couldn’t / didn’t use the first page, as my malware software popped a few warnings (not blocked, but warnings), so I was working from the other options.

Honestly, should have mentioned it before, but was too busy working on a solution and went all tunnel-visioned.
