heavy-duty screw, bolt, or other wall-fastener into the wall
at the marked location. Allow approximately 1/4" of the ap-
proved fastener to protrude from the wall.

4.

Temporarily hang and level the unit. 

Temporarily hang the

unit from the protruding fastener to allow the SwingRack
to self-level itself. If desired, a hand level can be used to lev-
el the unit.

5.

Mark mounting-hole locations on wall. 

 Once the unit is lev-

el, quickly mark the other, four, mounting hole locations on
the wall. Set aside the unit.

6.

Verify marked holes are aligned with wood studs

 (for dry-

wall applications only).

 If using a wall with a drywall surface,

ensure each marked mounting hole is aligned with the cen-
ter of a wood stud behind the drywall, as shown in Figure 7.
If not, make the needed adjustments.

7.

Drill the mounting holes. 

Drill appropriately-sized pilot

holes, to accommodate the mounting screws, bolts, or fas-
teners being used (hardware not included), at the marked
locations. 

Do not drill holes too big, to ensure a snug fit

.

8.

Partially install all screws. 

Partially install all screws, bolts,

or fasteners, leaving approximately ¼" inch protruding
from which to hang the unit via the unit’s keyhole-shaped
holes. When mounting on a wood backboard, use ¾" #10
or greater steel pan-head wood screws. When mounting on
drywall, use 1¼" #10 or greater steel pan-head wood

screws. For mounting on a concrete wall, use an equivalent
size or greater cement anchor/bolt combination.

9.

Hang SwingRack from screws. 

Lift the unit again, align the

four protruding wall fasteners with the predrilled holes in
the SwingRack, and hang the unit on the screws. Verify the
unit hangs freely (without binding) from the narrow top
portion of the keyholes, and adjust the screws if necessary
to ensure a good fit.

10.

Finish driving screws. 

Finish driving all screws until the unit

is flush and firm against the wall. Do not over-tighten
screws.

11.

Connect earth ground. 

Connect an approved #6 AWG

earth ground wire to the ground lug (lug shown in Figure 4).
Loosen the lug’s set screw, insert the ground wire, and re-
tighten the set screw. Verify the ground wire is secure under
the set screw.

- GROUNDING NOTE -

Always follow safety precautions, standard operating procedures and
local codes for grounding equipment when installing, upgrading, re-
pairing or maintaining equipment. All instructions or information
herein is subordinate to local codes, operating procedures or practices.

12.

Determine next step

. If customer-supplied equipment will

be mounted in the SwingRack at this time, proceed to Para-
graph 3.5; otherwise, continue with Step 13.
