6 Guard Fan 

Step 1

, Install Mounting Assembly 

For Wall-Mounted Applications 

A) 

Mark a level line on the wall at the desired mounting height to locate the top edge of the 

upper mount plate. 

B) 

Use the mount as a template to carefully mark the locations of the mounting holes on the 

wall.  There should be six holes total: four in the upper plate and two in the lower plate.  

Be sure to align the top edge of the upper mount plate with your level line. 

C) 

Remove the mount from the wall and pre-drill mounting holes for the appropriate 

mounting fasteners. 

For concrete or masonry walls: 

i) 

Insert Red Head or equivalent 1/2” self-anchoring studs (not included) into the 

mounting holes, properly securing them according to manufacturer’s instructions. 

ii) 

Slide the mount plates over the studs and attach using nylon lock nuts and flat 

washers, being careful not to over-tighten. 

Note:   We recommend that nylon lock nuts not be removed and reused because this 

will defeat the nylon locking; instead, buy new nylon lock nuts from your local 

hardware store. 

For wood surfaces (wood studs):  Before mounting the fan to a wood surface, ensure that 

the structure will safely support the fan’s weight (see spec. sheet). 

i) 

Line the mount assembly up with the mounting holes. 

ii) 

Insert 1/2” lag bolts (not included) into the holes, using washers to maximize the 

hold.  Be sure that you use bolts long enough to support the weight of the fan.  

Tighten the bolts securely, but do not over-tighten them.
