Step 2:
Using appropriate
hardware (not
provided), attach the
mounting bracket to the
plywood approximately
75 inches above
the floor. Ensure the
bracket is level and

the cabinet.
Step 3:
Attach the wall-mount
brackets to the rear of
the cabinet as shown in

Step 4:
Using the hoist or lifting
device, lift the cabinet
and hook the mounting
bracket over the bracket on the wall (Figure 6).
IMPORTANT:
Lower edge of the cabinet or splice chamber should be approximately 36 inches above
the floor.
Step 5:
Screw the bottom bracket into the plywood and move the lifting eyes to their stored
position (Figure 6).
Step 6:
If desired, remove and reinstall the lifting eyes in their stored position.
