STEP 9 - DETERMINE THE MOUNTING LOCATION FOR POWERWALL
1. Using the wall mount bracket as a guide, measure the proposed location for Powerwall. The
bracket must be bolted into studs or a load-bearing wall, and allow clearance on all sides as
shown in Site Requirements.
2. If mounting into wood, use a stud finder to locate and mark the center of the wooden studs. It
is important to install each fastener as close to the middle of each stud as possible.
3. Position the thicker part of the bracket at the top, so that the
flat side is flush with the wall.
Use the bracket as a guide to mark the location of the holes on the wall. Space the holes 200,
300, 400, 500, or 600 mm (8, 12, 16, 20, or 24 in) apart.
Note: Use a level tool to ensure that the bracket is level.
STEP 10 - INSTALL THE WALL MOUNT BRACKET
1. Drill the pilot holes to attach the wall mount bracket to the wall.
2. Install at least four washers and fasteners into the top part of the bracket and two washers
and fasteners into the bottom of the bracket. There must be at least one fastener in each of
the six mounting hole rows. Install the fasteners in the order shown in the numbered image.
3. Verify that the bracket is firmly attached to the wall.
4. For easier alignment while lifting, use tape or a pencil to mark:
• The wall at the height of the bracket lip, on the outside edges of the intended mount
point
• The Powerwall box sides, at the level of the mounting cleat
• The centerlines of both the box and the bracket
