Heater Mounting - Dura Heat EWH5500 Instrucciones De Instalación Y El Manual De Propietario

WARNING: Fall Hazard - Heater must be attached to a joist with 3 screws (two at keyhole slots and
•
third safety screw at center hole) to prevent heater from possibly falling. The screws provided with
heater are intended for installing in wood framing only and not intended for metal joists or other
types of construction. If installation into other type of construction, additional hardware will be
required for correct installation. All hardware must be tightened securely.

HEATER MOUNTING:

1. Locate the wood stud or joist in ceiling and mark line in location for heater to be installed. NOTE: The
wall/ceiling mounting bracket allows installation onto a wall or ceiling using the specific mounting holes
and minimum clearances as shown in Fig 4, 5, 6 and 7.
2. Determine the desired location for mounting making sure the minimum clearances as noted in this
manual are maintained and using the bracket as a template, mark the two keyhole locations on the wall
or ceiling for drilling.
3. Use the 5/32 in. (4 mm) drill bit to pre-drill two
holes for screws at the locations marked in step 2.
4. Install two 2.5" (65 mm) screws into the holes leaving
approximately 1/8" of the screw offset from the wall.
Ensure that both screws are inserted at least 1.5" into
the stud or joist.
5. Hook the mounting bracket onto the wall (or ceiling)
by fitting the two keyholes on the bracket over the two screws and pushing the bracket down into place.
Mark the location of the center (3rd safety) hole onto the wall or ceiling.
6. Use the 5/32 in. (4 mm) drill bit to pre-drill a hole for the 3rd safety screw.
7. Attach the heater handle bracket to the heater using the two screws and washers preassembled to the
top of the heater making sure the smaller hole in bracket faces the rear of heater. Remove the screws and
then attach bracket making sure both screws are tight.
8. Attach the wall/ceiling bracket to the heater using the larger 20 mm (.8") bolt, two flat washers and
lock nuts as shown in Fig. 5. To prevent rotation, a small M10 mm bolt and nut are provided in the parts
bag. Assemble this smaller screw into the small hole through wall bracket and heater bracket as shown
in Fig. 5. and securely tighten both bolts.
9. Attach the heater and mounting bracket assembly to the wall (or ceiling):
CAUTION - The keyhole slots are provided to assist in the installation by temporarily supporting
the heater until the third safety screw is installed into the 3rd hole in bracket. Failure to install the 3rd
s a f e t y screw in the center hole location in the bracket could allow the heater to fall.
a. Hook bracket onto the two screws (installed at Step 4) by fitting heater and wall/ceiling
bracket on the two screws through the keyholes on the bracket and pushing the bracket
into place.
b. Insert the third 2.5" (65 mm) safety screw through the center hole on the bracket and
into the pre-drilled hole (Step 6) in the wall or ceiling.
c. Tighten all three screws to secure the mounting bracket and heater assembly to the wall.
