WARNING:
Fall Hazard - Heater must be attached to a joist with 3 screws (two at keyhole slots and third safety screw at center hole) to prevent heater from possibly
falling. The screws provided with heater are intended for installing in wood framing only and not intended for metal joists or other types of construction. If
installation into other type of construction, additional hardware will be required for correct installation. All hardware must be tightened securely.
HEATER MOUNTING
Attaching the wall/ceiling mounting bracket:
1.
Locate the wood stud or joist in ceiling and mark line in location for
heater to be installed.
NOTE: The wall/ceiling mounting bracket allows installation onto a wall
or ceiling using the specific mounting holes and minimum clearances
as shown in Fig 4, 5, 6 and 7.
2. Determine the desired location for mounting making sure the minimum
clearances as noted in this manual are maintained and using the
bracket as a template, mark the two keyhole locations on the wall or
ceiling for drilling.
3. Use the 5/32 in. (4 mm) drill bit pre-drill two holes for screws at the
locations marked in step 2.
4. Install two 2.5” (65 mm) screws into the holes leaving approximately
1/8” of the screw offset from the wall. Ensure that both screws are
inserted at least 1.5” into the stud or joist.
5. Hook the mounting bracket onto the wall (or ceiling) by fitting the two
keyholes on the bracket over the two screws and pushing the bracket
down into place. Mark the location of the center (3rd safety) hole onto
the wall or ceiling.
6. Use the 5/32 in. (4 mm) drill bit to pre-drill a hole for the 3rd safety
screw.
7.
Attach the heater handle bracket to the heater using the two screws
and washers preassembled to the top of the heater making sure the
smaller hole in bracket faces the rear of heater.. Remove the screws
and then attach bracket making sure both screws are tight.
8. Attach the wall/ceiling bracket to the heater using the larger 20 mm
(.8”) bolt, two flat washers and lock nuts as shown in Fig. 5. To prevent
rotation, a small M10 mm bolt and nut are provided in the parts bag.
Assemble this smaller screw into the small hole through wall bracket
and heater bracket as showing in Fig. 5. and securely tighten both
bolts.
9. Attach the heater and mounting bracket assembly to the wall (or
ceiling):
CAUTION - The keyhole slots are provided to assist in the installation
by temporarily supporting the heater until the third safety screw is
installed into the 3rd hole in bracket. Failure to install the 3rd or safety
screw in the center hole location in the bracket could allow the heater
to fall.
a. Hook bracket onto the two screws (installed at Step 4) by fitting
heater and wall/ceiling bracket on the two screws through the
keyholes on the bracket and pushing the bracket into place.
b.
Insert the third 2.5” (65 mm) safety screw through the center hole
on the bracket and into the pre-drilled hole (Step 6) in the wall or
ceiling.
c.
Tighten all three screws to secure the mounting bracket and
heater assembly to the wall.
