Mounting a dayton blower?

Hi guys, I need to set up a Dayton blower in my closet area with my a/c reflector, and I have no idea if its possible to mount it onto something, and how to go about doing that... has anyone got any experience in this matter? Previously, I used L hooks and let it rest on top of that, but it causes a lot of vibration and its not very safe at all as the fan could easily slip off. Much love to anyone who can point me in the right direction here, I gotta get this set up within a few days

Find the studs behind the wall, screw a couple eye bolts into the stud and hang the fan with bungee cords.

hang the fan how? There's no hooks for me to attach it to? Do you have a pic for reference?

Hmm, find the wood studs behind the walls (or ceiling joists actually would be better so you can hang straight down...thats kinda what I meant in my first post, just a brain fart) using a cheap little stud finder tool at Home Depot. Screw some eyebolts (same as hooks) into the studs/joists and just hang the fan from bungee cords. If your Dayton is anything like my Vortex then it has a mounting bracket thingie included with it. Just be creative!

You want to put rubber o-rings or bungee cords between the fan and the wall otherwise the fan will vibrate the shit out of frame. Simple hooks and bungees from the cieling work fine.
