HOW TO USE:

1. Assess Wall Structure: Before beginning installation, ensure the wall where the heater will be mounted has sufficient structural integrity to support the combined weight of the heater and the mounting kit. The maximum suspended weight for the heater should not exceed 300 lbs (136 kg).
2. Determine Mounting Location: Select a mounting location that provides adequate clearance around the heater for safe operation and future maintenance. Ensure there is a minimum of 2 inches of clearance behind the fan motor and clearance below the heater equal to the cabinet height plus an additional 2 inches for core removal. For CSA-certified heaters, the minimum mounting height is 7.9 ft (2.4 m) above the floor.
3. Assemble Wall Mounting Kit: Assemble the components of the 9732 wall mounting kit, including the angle hangers and connector hangers, according to the provided instructions.
4. Attach Kit to Wall: Securely attach the assembled wall mounting kit to the prepared wall using appropriate fasteners. Ensure all connections are tightened to specification. For applications where the structure is subject to movement or impact, additional support and lock washers are recommended.
5. Mount Heater onto Kit: Carefully lift the Ruffneck FX5/FX6 20″ frame heater and align its mounting points with the corresponding points on the installed wall mounting kit.
6. Secure Heater: Use 5/8″ NC bolts to securely attach the heater to the mounting kit, screwing them into the internally threaded holes on the heater’s cabinet. Ensure all bolts are firmly tightened.
7. Verify Stability: After installation, gently test the heater’s stability to confirm it is securely mounted and does not exhibit any undue movement.
