WARNING: The included heavy duty screws are intended to mount the inline controller component only. Do NOT attempt to mount the main unit with these screws. Only use hardware appropriate for the chosen mounting surface.

1. The wall fan must be mounted on 12 inch (300mm) thick dry and cement – grouted firm wall or on 4 by 5 inch wood studs / joists.
2. Use a wall bracket as a template for locating the holes to be drilled. After determining the hole locations, use an appropriate sized drill bit and drill holes through mounting surface. It is recommended that a minimum of grade 5 fasteners be used.

STEEL SURFACE MOUNTING
When mounting to a steel surface, such as vertical I‑beam, drill through holes on the pre‑marked locations, using a 9/32″ drill bit. Attach wall mount assembly to mounting surface using 1/4″-20 hex screws, in combination with 1/4″ flat washers, 1/4″ lock washers, and 1/4″-20 hex nuts.

MASONRY SUFACE MOUNTING
When mounting to a masonry surface use a 1/4″ expansion type bolt or 1/4″ masonry lag with shield designed to handle the weight of this fan. Drill holes at pre‑marked locations using appropriate sized drill bit as recommended for the fastener.
