1. Locate the studs and mark their location on the wall.
2. Measure the desired height from the floor for the inverter to be mounted.
3. Using a level, mark a horizontal line on the wall. The length of the line must
span at least three studs.
4. Place a pre-cut 2 x 4 on the marked location and drill pilot holes through the
2 x 4's and studs.
5. Secure the 2 x 4 with #10 wood screws (length to penetrate 1½ inches into the
studs).
6. Repeat the procedure for the remaining 2 x 4.
7. Referring to Figure 3-5 or by using a cardboard template, drill out the
mounting hole locations for the inverter.
8. With assistance, lift the inverter into position and install it onto the 2 x 4's
using ¼ x 1½-inch lag bolts and washers.
Alternatively, a half or quarter sheet of ½-inch plywood can also be used as a
backing, with the inverter mounted directly to the plywood using ¼-inch
diameter lag bolts and washers. The plywood must span three studs for adequate
support.
