# Installation
The Pushstick Mini is designed to be mounted in any orientation. When determining a mounting position, please keep a few things in mind:
* The rated continuous line pull of the Pushstick Mini is 90lb, but it can reach up to 270lb before the machine faults.
* The Pushstick Mini weighs 170lb (185lbs with the hanging bracket)
Remember to design any mounting positions with sufficient safety factors.
Cables can exit the Pushstick Mini out the front or top of the frame. When cables exit the front of the machine, they are already at the proper height to mule through Creative Conners, Inc deck hardware. When rigged to exit out the top of the frame, custom hardware may be required. Please contact Creative Conners, Inc with further questions.
The Pushstick Mini is not intended for outdoor use. Not only does the motor not like getting wet, the Stagehand controls will likely fail if exposed to water.
## Ground Installation
The Pushstick Mini frame has 0.5” mounting holes, designed to work with standard Unistrut 90° brackets. These brackets allow you to attach the winch standing up or laying on its back.

The Pushstick Mini can be installed in the air with the Hanging Bracket accessory.
Attach half boroughs to the bracket and hang the Pushstick Mini from a truss or pipe. The Pushstick Mini can also hang from your favorite track with additional hardware.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.creativeconners.com/docs/machinery/pushstick-mini/installation.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
