3) 

Note: one 1/2 inch wrench is necessary for 

this step of installation.

Using the four screws 

provided attach the mounting plate SECURELY
to overhead framing members or other sturdy 
wooden or metal structure.

4) There are two center bars: an upper and a lower.
The upper bar has  yellow and pink stickers, the lower
has green and blue.  Unscrew mounting nuts and
remove both mounting bolts from the upper bar.   Slide
one extender arm into the bar with the yellow dot until
the holes in the bar and the arm align.  Replace bolt,
and tighten nuts securely.  

Repeat this step for the side of the center bar with the
pink dot .

5) AHL has included U-bracket hardware to hang your reflectors.

Take one of the brackets and place it onto one side arm.
Take the other and place it onto the other side. The U on
the U-bolt should be facing up, thus providing hanging
points at the base.

Note: there are 2 nuts per side for safety.  One regular, one nyloc.

There  is “ruler” tape on the arms to enable placing the lamps at
equal distances from the center motor.  Position the brackets
where you want the lamp to hang and tighten the screws provid-
ed.  Make sure that they are equally distant from the center.
