Special Applications

The following instructions cover special applications. If the stud spacing is more than 16” (i.e. 18”, or stud location), the wall
must be re-enforced.

1) Measure from the wood stud to the edge of the inwall box.

2) Add spacer boards to compensate the distance of an standard 16” studed wall.

4) Re-measure the distance from the spacer board to the edge of the in-wall box. If the distance is greater than 2.5”, attach
another spacer board.

5) Refer steps from previous page to install the shims and mounting instructions.

If installing with the AM300, the pivot (where the side the arm is attached) MUST NOT be the same side as where the spacer
boards were installed. The AM300 must be mounted as tightly as possible against the wooden wall stud.
