clearance to combustibles outlined in the specifications table
on page 3 and should be located within 4 feet of your power
connection or the location of where you plan to mount the
junction box your heater will be supplied from.
Once a location has been selected, fasten the mounting bracket
and accompanying hanging kit with 4 appropriately sized lag
bolts/or wall anchors that can support the weight of the heater
(not included). The weight of your heater can be found in the
specifications table on page 3. The best option is to attach the
anchors directly into a solid surface like a joist or plywood. If
that is not available consult with your local hardware store for
other options. There are many different Drywall anchors or
masonry anchors that will work.
Once you have selected a location and mounted the hanging
brackets you can now hang the heater. It is recommend that
you have help for this step. While you or your helper is holding
the heater in place, Install the two large Phillips head bolts and
angle adjustment knobs. See figure 2. At this point the heater
should look like the photo on the front of this manual.

Wiring information:
The heaters covered in this manual are designed to be installed
and serviced by only licensed trained professionals. Heaters should
only be installed on a dedicated 240 volt circuit with a 30 amp
double pole breaker. Refer to NEC code ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-201 1 for
specifics.
Remote Thermostat:
Units equipped with a remote thermostat will need to have the
cradle for the thermostat mounted in an appropriate location.
Using two wall anchors, (not included) mount the Thermostat
cradle to the wall. Select a location within 3.5 feet of the
heater. The cradle should be mounted in a location as to not be
affected by the air flow of the heater. If possible do not mount
on an un-insulated wall or in direct sunlight. That may cause the
heater to cycle unnecessarily.
