INSTALLATION

FLOOR APPLICATION

WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING

The EG4800DG and EG5600DG garage heaters include a wall / ceiling mounting bracket. The bracket should be mounted to a structure that is capable of supporting the combined weight of the heater and the bracket. Ideally, the bracket should be secured to a wall stud, roof truss, or onto a solid block wall using the proper mounting hardware. The heater should be mounted as close to the power supply as possible to avoid the use of an extension cord.

Drill two holes in a wall/ceiling, the distance of the holes should match the bracket.
Screw two M10*30 screws (not included) to wall/ ceiling, make sure the bracket is secured.
Hang the heater as shown below, secure the heater to the bracket by inserting a bolt through a washer (included) into the pre-drilled holes.
Secure the bolt with a lock washer and nut (included). Tighten with a wrench.

OPERATION

The heater must be properly installed before it is used.
