INSTALLATION
WARNING: Improper installation can result in serious
personal injury!
WARNING: It is the responsibility of the installer to verify
that the wall to which the PNR is anchored will safely support
five times the combined load of all attached components and
equipment. If not, reinforce the structure before installing the
PNR.
1. Locate two wood studs 16” apart on center
2. Determine the exact mounting location prior to installation,
considering screen size and the unit’s total swing arm
radius. Keep in mind that the PNR must be mounted to
wood studs that are 16” apart on center.
NOTE: Mount the PNR between parallel wall studs or other
supporting framework that is vertical or horizontal.
3. Using a stud sensor, locate the two wood studs where you
will mount the PNR.
4. Draw a level plumb line to indicate the desired height of the
top mounting bracket.
5. With an assistant, lift and hold the PNR against wall. Use a
pencil, awl, or small nail to mark the mounting holes where
two pilot holes will be drilled into the center of the wood
studs. Make sure the mounting holes are level.
6. With an assistant, lay the PNR down on the floor.
7. Drill two pilot holes using a 7/32” drill bit where the mounting
holes were marked for anchoring the top bracket. See
Figure 1.
8. Install two 5/16” x 2-1/2” lag bolts (50) and two 0.135” thick
washers (60), through PNR Top Bracket and into upper
pilot holes.
NOTE: Do not tighten the lag bolts down at this time. Leave
enough space between the wall and lag bolts to hang
the PNR.

bracket, not behind the bracket.
2. Slide the PNR into the desired position on the wall and
tighten the two lag bolts.
Mounting the bottom bracket
1. Mark the two mounting holes in the bottom mounting
bracket (See figure 3). Make sure to align the holes parallel
to the holes drilled in the top bracket.
2. Drill two pilot holes in the wall studs using a 7/32” drill bit.
3. Install two 5/16” x 2-1/2” lag bolts (50) and two 0.135” thick
washers (60) through PNR Bottom Bracket into the lower
pilot holes.
4. Tighten all lag bolts.
