INSTALLATION
Locate Mounting Site
WARNING: IMPROPER INSTALLATION CAN LEAD TO
MOUNT FALLING CAUSING SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY
OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT! It is the installers
responsibility to make certain the structure to which the
mount is being attached is capable of supporting five times
the weight of the NW1 and all attached equipment.
Installing to a Wood Stud Wall
Determine location of NW1 wall rack, ensuring it is centered
between wood studs and will be attached to two 2" x 4" studs.
NOTE: Decide on which side of the NW1 rack the hinge will be
located. It is possible to place the rack near a corner, if
required, since it is possible to operate the latch from
the front of the rack.
