INSTALLATION
Secure Wall Bracket
WARNING: It is the responsibility of the installer to ver-
ify that the surface to which the FWD-111 is
anchored will safely support the combined
load of all attached components and equipment.
Install the FWD-111 as follows:
1.Determine the exact mounting location prior to install a tion, considering the unit’s swing and extension radius.
WARNING: Improper installation can result in serious
personal injury! Make sure that the structural members can support a redundant
weight factor five times the total weight of
the equipment. If not, reinforce the structure before installing the FWD-111.
2.Using the wall bracket (120) as a template, drill two 3/32”
pilot holes to a minimum depth of 1-1/2”.
3.Using two #10 x 2-1/2” wood screws (100) and two washers (110), secure the wall bracket (120). See Figure 2.
