Ra dia n M ounting:
1. Ensure the mounting surface is strong enough to handle 3 times the total weight of
all the components. Add a piece of plywood if necessary to strengthen the surface.
2. Attach the wall bracket to the surface centering the mounting holes on the sides
with the wall studs. Use all 6 mounting screws to secure the bracket.
3. Lift the inverter so that the inverter bracket is above the wall bracket.
4. Lower the Inverter into place so that the inverter bracket slips into the wall bracket.
