ance as damage to the appliance may result.

4.2 Wall Mounting Installation
Prior to mounting the appliance, install the piping sup-
port bracket according to instructions in Section 4.7.
The CHALLENGER should be wall mounted using the bracket
provided with the appliance. This appliance is not designed for floor
installation. If floor installation is required, an option floor stand, P/N
PSSTND04, is available through ACV-Triangle Tube, see Fig 1. This
appliance is not to be installed on carpeting.
WARNING
CAUTION
NOTICE
The wall used for mounting the CHALLENGER must be
vertically plumb and capable of supporting a minimum
of 110 pounds [50 kg]. Failure to comply with these re-
quirements can result in substantial property damage,
serious injury, or death.
4.3 Wall Mounting Guidelines
The wall-mounting bracket is designed for stud spacing of 12
1.
inch [30.5 cm] or 16 inch [40.6 cm] on centers. For
unconventional stud spacing, a solid / secure mounting surface
must be provided for installation of the bracket.
For applications using wood studs, install the bracket using the
2.
lag screws provided with the appliance, see Fig 2. Ensure both
lag screws are installed securely in the studs.
For applications using metal studs, install the bracket to the
3.
studs using 3/16” [5 mm] toggle bolts and washers (provided by
others), see Fig 2.
DO NOT mount or attempt to mount the wall bracket to hollow
4.
sheet rock or lath walls using anchors. Only install appliance to
studs or equivalent wood structure.
For applications using solid walls (rock, concrete, brick, cinder
5.
block, etc.), install the wall bracket using anchor (double
expansion shields) bolts and washers provided with the
appliance.
The appliance is too heavy and bulky for a single person to lift
6.
and attempt to mount. A minimum of 2 people are required for
mounting the appliance.
Use extreme care not to drop the appliance or cause
bodily injury while lifting or mounting the appliance
onto the wall bracket. Once mounted, verify that the
appliance is securely attached to the bracket and wall.
Failure to comply with the above guidelines can result
in substantial property damage, serious injury, or
death.
