4. Mark the location of the top mounting hole.
5. Drill a pilot hole in the pit box wall. Follow the screw manufacturer's recommendation for the
pilot hole size.
6. For concrete-type pit boxes, it may be necessary to use a screw anchor. Choose an anchor
appropriate for a #10 pan head screw.
Caution: Do not over-tighten the mounting screws. Over-tightening the mounting
screws may break the pit module mounting tabs.
7. Start a screw into the pilot hole. Using the top hole of the pit module, set the pit module over
the screw head and slide it down so the screw is now at the top of the notch. Carefully tighten
the screw until snug. Over-tightening the mounting screw could damage the pit module
housing.
Note: If the mounting location requires a screw anchor, mark the location of the bottom
anchor and remove the pit module. Drill the required mounting hole, insert the anchor,
and re-attach the pit module.
8. Holding the pit module in the upright position, drill the second pilot hole. Use the bottom
mounting hole as a template.
