WARNING

• When installing wall mounts onto a concrete masonry unit (also known as a CMU or

“cinder block”), verify that the actual concrete thickness is at least 35mm (1-3/8”)

in order to hold the concrete anchors. DO NOT DRILL INTO MORTAR JOINTS! Be sure

to mount the assembled wall-mount plate with the included concrete anchors, D8

washers and anchor bolts onto solid sections of the blocks. The solid sections can

generally be found 25mm (1”) toward the middle of the block from either end. An

electric drill on a slow setting is suggested to drill the hole rather than a hammer

drill so as to avoid breaking out the back of the hole when entering a hollow section.

• Installers must verify that the supporting surface will safely support the combined

load of the equipment and all attached hardware and components.
