Drill hole and insert anchor

Place ceiling plate over anchor and secure with screw

After repeating step one tighten all fasteners

• 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
finder is highly recommended.

WARNING

• When installing Peerless wall mounts on concrete, verify that you have a minimum of 1 5/8" of actual concrete surface

in the 1/4" diameter hole to be used for the concrete anchors. Do not drill into mortar joints! Concrete must meet
ASTM C-90 specifications.

• Concrete must be 2000 psi density minimum. Lighter density concrete may not hold concrete anchor.
• Make sure that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all attached hard-

ware and components.

• Never exceed the Maximum UL Load Capacity of 50 lb (27 kg).
