Further Important Mounting Considerations (Airmotiv A2+)
Although the mounting bracket is made of heavy-gauge steel, the strength of the surface to
which it is attached must always be considered.
• When mounting the Airmotiv A2+ on a drywall or similar wall we recommend using all four
mounting holes and screws with appropriate fasteners.
• When mounting the Airmotiv A2+ to an internal stud, or something equally strong, in a wall
or ceiling, using long screws in any two mounting holes will provide sufficient strength.
• If mounting the Airmotiv A2+ to the ceiling we recommend mounting it to a stud or equally
strong mounting surface if at all possible. If mounting to a plaster or drywall ceiling, be sure
that it is strong enough to support the weight of the A2+, and use appropriate butterfly bolts
or similar connectors.
• If mounting the Airmotiv A2+ to a drop ceiling, we STRONGLY recommend adding a wood
reinforcing panel of the same size above the ceiling tile, to transfer the weight to the support
grid. Safety regulations also require that you add a steel safety cable that is securely affixed to
a sufficiently secure point above.
