User Manual

There is a wide variation of types of wall construction, age and condition. After
reviewing the conditions on site, the installer must make the final judgment as to the
suitability of the existing wall material to determine if additional bracing or supports
are required.
Attaching the wall mount plate involves making minor modifications to the building
construction. Be sure to observe proper safety precautions to prevent injury.
Unforeseen hazards, for example, natural gas and power lines, can exist when
drilling and cutting into walls.
Note: Compliance with local building codes, electrical codes and the governing
laws should take precedence over this set of instructions.
Fasteners are not included with the unit, and must be supplied by the installer. The
types of fasteners required are dependent on the type of wall construction. See
“Fastener types” on page 27 for detailed descriptions and pictures of the fasteners
discussed below. If the recommended size is not available, choose the next longer
or larger size. Choose fasteners that are rated either ”Medium Duty“ or ”Heavy
Duty.“ To assure proper fastener selection and installation, follow the fastener
manufacturer’s recommendations.
Mounting to hollow walls
Hollow walls include walls that are constructed of drywall board that is securely
fastened to wood studs. The studs must make up the main structure and strength of
the wall.
Method 1: Wood surface
Use this method if construction changes to the wall are permitted. This method will
provide the most reliable attachment of the unit to the wall with little risk that the
unit will ever come loose or require ongoing maintenance.
The drywall board is removed in an area approximately 30 cm (12 in.) high that
spans the space between two studs. The two wood studs can be cut back
approximately 38 mm (1.5 in.) by 28 cm (11 in.) high. A 38 mm (1.5 in.) thick by 28
cm (11 in.) high construction grade wood support is attached to the two wall studs
with six lag screws as shown in Table 7 on page 25. Install the Lag Screws directly
into the center of the studs without pre-drilling a hole. Do not use soap or other
lubricant on the screws during installation. The wood support material should be
either solid wood or plywood. After installation of the support, you can replace and
prepare the drywall board for final finishing.
