Before you start
- Confirm wall construction — solid masonry or engineered mounting surface; the wall must be suitable for the unit’s weight and dimensions.
- Weights to plan for: Kent M1 ≈ 19 kg; Kent G3 ≈ 42 kg-class plus bracket — two-person lift for Kent G3.
- Battery packs mount per the battery pages; floor-standing stacks need floor bearing checked.
Mounting rules
- Anchors per the platform manual — type, size, count and embedment come from the platform installation page; no substitutions on hollow brick.
- Bracket level — a tilted bracket twists the chassis and stresses gaskets.
- Vertical mounting. Kent G3 mounts vertically with a maximum incline of ±5° — beyond that, output derates. Never forward-tilted, never horizontal.
- Hang and secure — the unit must positively engage the bracket and be secured per the platform page before wiring begins.
- Pull-check the anchors before hanging; no movement afterward is a commissioning pass item.
Service access
- Display at eye level where the wall allows — reading codes on a ladder in the rain is how mistakes happen.
- Breakers and isolators within reach of a standing person.
- Covers must open fully in place — check door swing against pipes and corners now, not at the first service call.
- Kent G3 bottom ≥ 500 mm above ground — this is also the splash-and-service line.
Common mistakes
- Plastic plugs in old holes reused for a 42 kg unit — fresh anchors, rated, torqued.
- Mounting high “out of the children’s reach” and out of every technician’s reach too — locks and covers manage safety, not altitude.
- Forgetting the door swing next to a rainwater pipe — the wiring compartment becomes tool-inaccessible.
