When
1
Ensure the mounting surface is strong enough to handle 3 times the total
weight of all the components. Add plywood or other reinforcing material as
necessary to strengthen the surface.
2
Attach the wall bracket. Center the mounting holes on the wall studs. Use all
6 mounting screws to secure the bracket.
3
Lift the inverter so that the inverter bracket is above the wall bracket.
4
Lower the inverter so that the inverter bracket slips into the wall bracket.
5
To install the GSLC, unscrew the inverter bottom screws approximately ¼"
(0.6 cm) to 3/16" (0.5 cm).
6
Align the GSLC along the bottom of the inverter. Slide the bottom screws
into the keyhole slots.
7
Mark the spots for the GSLC mounting feet. (If necessary, remove the
GSLC to install wall anchors.) Install screws to secure the feet.
8
Follow the appropriate instructions for installing other components.
Different mounting locations are available.
