storage Rack Assembly & Mounting (cont.) —
Mounting Storage Rack to Wall
• Do not mount over 5’ from the ground.
• Do not attach screws to drywall only.
Make sure screws are attached to
studs on 16” centers.
• Do not sit or hang on storage rack.
• Do not exceed maximum weight limit of
40 pounds.
1 .Choose a location that is indoors and
not exposed to rain. For best perform­
ance and easy access, position the
storage rack so the center of the vacu­
um inlet port is no more that five feet
from floor and no more than eighteen
feet from the electrical outlet.
2. The screw holes in the storage rack
are spaced sixteen inches apart to cor­
respond with standard wail stud spac­
ing. Locate two wail studs and position
the storage rack so that all four screw
holes are over the studs. Level the rack
and mark the hole locations. Drill a 1/8”
diameter pilot hole at each location.
Attach the storage rack to wall studs
using the four screws provided. Make
sure all four screws are driven securely
into the wall studs.
3. If your wall studs are not located 16”
apart or the desired location does not
align with the wall studs, a 1/2” thick
plywood panel 30" wide, must be
attached to the studs with the four
screws provided. The storage rack may
then be attached to the plywood panel
with four r #10 pan or round head
wood screws (not provided).
NOTE: Supplied wood screws are intend­
ed for mounting to typical wall construc­
tion consisting of 5/8” drywall
or less.
CAUTION: To prevent plywood, Storage
Rack, or Wet/Dry Vac from falling, make
sure you have selected the proper length
of fastener for the secure mounting of
storage rack to the wall.
