Mounting. Grizzly G9956

It is very important that the hanging air filter

be supported properly. Please follow these guidelines when planning where to mount the unit:

• Where the eye bolts attach is the top of the unit. The hanging air filter can only be secured by the eye bolts on its top.

• Make sure that an electrical outlet with a properly grounded receptacle is available at the location you choose.

• The air filter must be supported by joists or studs capable of supporting at least 150 lbs when mounting the unit with eye bolts.

DO NOT attach the hanging air filter to sheet rock, press board or paneling. These materials cannot support the filter, and it may fall.

• Avoid hitting your head on the hanging air filter. Make sure there is enough clearance between the unit and the ground, especially important in a basement. If possible, position the air filter in an area that has little foot traffic, but still offers easy access to the switch and filters.

Mounting

ONLY mount the air filter unit to joists, wall studs, or table that can hold at least 150 lbs.

DO NOT mount the unit only to sheet rock, pressboard, paneling, or honeycomb wall panels with expansion-type fasteners. The fasteners can tear out and the air filter can fall. Ignoring this caution can result in injury or property damage.

To make the unit operate at the optimum height of 7' from the floor, we recommend installing the air filter unit in your shop by hanging it with lag eye bolts, chain, and S-hooks.

Attaching Eye Bolts

1. If the 1 ⁄

"-20 hex nuts are not already on the eye bolts, thread one onto each eye.

2. Thread one eye bolt into each hole on the top of the double air filter, as shown in Figure 8, using as much of the available thread as possible.

3. Thread the lag eye bolts into the pilot holes, as shown in Figure 9. Be sure to thread the bolts at least 1 1 /

" into the joists.

Note: DO NOT use hooks in place of lag eye bolts. If the double air filter is bumped it could fall.

3. Tighten the hex nut on each eye bolt until the eyes will not move by hand. DO NOT over tighten.

Installing Air Filter

1. Locate the applicable load bearing studs or joists—or if the ceiling has sheet rock or some other covering, locate the joists with a stud finder and mark their centers.

2. Pre-drill 1 /

" pilot holes into the marks on the joists. This will make threading the lag eye bolts much easier and reduce the risk of splitting the joists.

4. Measure the desired length of your chains from the eye bolts. Remember to account for the S-hooks and eye bolts on the double air filter.

5. Cut the chain to equal lengths and attach an

S-hook to each end.

6. Secure a length of chain to each mounting eye.

7. GET SOME HELP! With at least one other person supporting the weight of the double air filter, connect the chains to the lag eye bolts. Optimally, the unit should hang 7' off the floor when finished.
