• This product should only be installed by someone of good mechanical aptitude, has experience with basic
building construction, and fully understands these instructions.
• Make sure that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all attached
hardware and components.
• Never mount this product to a metal stud wall construction unless the stud can be verified to be constructed of
25 gauge steel minimum, the drywall is 1/2" thick minimum and you obtain and use the Peerless accessory kit
for metal studs.
• Never exceed the Maximum UL Load Capacity .
• If mounting to wood wall stud wall construction, make sure that mounting screws are anchored into the center of
the studs. Use of an "edge to edge" stud finder is highly recommended.
• Always use an assistant or mechanical lifting equipment to safely lift and position equipment.
• Tighten screws and nuts firmly , but do not overtighten. Overtightening can damage the items, greatly reducing
their holding power. See suggested torque values where applicable within these instructions.
IMPORT ANT! Certain types of walls require additional mounting hardware...

WARNING
• Tighten wood screws so that wall plate is firmly attached, but do not overtighten. Overtightening can damage the
screws, greatly reducing their holding power .
• Never tighten in excess of 80 in. • lb (9 N.M.).
• Make sure that mounting screws are anchored into the center of the studs. The use of an "edge to edge" stud

WARNING
• If your model does not include concrete fasteners, contact customer service for the appropriate accessory kit to
install the product on concrete or cinder block.
• When installing Peerless wall mounts on cinder block, verify that you have a minimum of 1-3/8" of actual concrete
surface in the 5/16" diameter hole to be used for the concrete anchors. Do not drill into mortar joints! Be sure to
mount in a solid part of the block, generally 1" minimum from the side of the block. Cinder block must meet ASTM
C-90 specifications. It is suggested that a standard electric drill on slow setting is used to drill the hole instead of
a hammer drill to avoid breaking out the back of the hole when entering a void or cavity .
• Concrete must be 2000 psi density minimum. Lighter density concrete may not hold concrete anchor .
• Make sure that the wall will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all attached hardware and
components.
• Never exceed the Maximum UL Load Capacity .
For attachment to solid concrete
or cinder block wall drill, 5/16" (8
mm) dia. holes 1.75" (45 mm) deep
using a standard drill and masonry bit
(DO NOT use a hammer drill). Attach
wall bracket (F) using Concrete
Anchor Kit as pictured below.

WARNING
• Tighten concrete anchor bolt firmly , but do not overtighten. Overtightening can damage the bolt, greatly
reducing its holding power.
• Never tighten in excess of 80 in • lb (9 N.M.).

WARNING
• Always attach concrete expansion anchors directly to
load-bearing concrete.
• Never attach concrete expansion anchors to concrete
covered with plaster, drywall, or other finishing material. If mounting to concrete surfaces covered with a
finishing surface is unavoidable, the finishing surface
must be counterbored.
