Installation Procedure:
1. Position the bracket on a wall capable of supporting 150 lbs

2. Maintain a minimum distance of 6" (153mm) from the bottom of the
bracket to the ground for proper enclosure ventilation.
3. Level the bracket vertically with the tab facing up. Center the
bracket on a wall stud.
4. Secure the bracket to the wall using two user-supplied 3/8" x 4 1/2"
(or larger) lag bolts and flat washers specified above. The hardware
must sit flush inside the bracket dimples for proper installation.
Verify there is at least a 6" spacing between the bracket and the
ground.
5. Hang the enclosure on the bracket.
6. Securely fasten the enclosure to the bracket using the six 5/16"
bolts, lock washers and fender washers (supplied).
