Product Information

The 5822 Dehumidifier Hanging Kit is designed for attic and crawl space residential use only. It has a maximum total load capacity of 200 lbs and is not intended for overhead use in an occupied space.
The kit includes a ratchet rope (4), brackets (4), eye bolts (4), and a drill bit for installation.

Product Usage Instructions

Attach the brackets to the dehumidifier using the leveling feet. Remove one foot and slide it through the large hole in the bracket. Screw the foot back into the base of the dehumidifier and fully tighten it. Repeat with the remaining feet.
Screw the eye bolts into floor joists horizontally, spaced apart according to the distance between the centers of the clip mounting holes in the bracket along the length of the dehumidifier. Use a 13/64 (max) drill bit to drill pilot holes before screwing in the eye bolts.
Clip the carabiners connected to the ratchet to the eye bolts.
Use the release lever to lengthen the rope to the hanging bracket.
Clip the carabiners on the knotted end of the rope to the hanging brackets.
Pull down on the free end to take out any slack in the hanging rope.
To raise the unit, simultaneously pull up on the rope attached to the brackets and pull down on the free end of the rope, or support the weight of the corner being adjusted and pull down on the free end of the rope. Make six or fewer vertical adjustments on each rope until the unit is at the desired height.
Use a level to ensure that the unit is level in both front-to-back and side-to-side directions.

CAUTION: The hanging kit must not be used for overhead use in an occupied space and should only be used for attic and crawl space residential use. The maximum total load capacity is 200 lbs.
