5.
Hold the Smart Track in place over the pilot hole you drilled and screw in one of the
included lag screws and washers. Do not screw it in all the way so you can still move
the other end of the track.
6.
Use the stud center method to find the center of the joist where you will secure the
other end of the Smart Track, and mark where you will need to drill next.
7.
Move the other end of the Smart Track over the mark you made and drill a pilot hole
at least three inches into the center of the joist.
8.
Use a wrench to screw in a lag screw and washer into the pilot hole you just drilled.
Be sure to tighten both lag screws so the Smart Track is flush and secure against
the ceiling.
9.
Drill two more pilot holes and screw in the remaining lag screws and washers so
that you have two lag screws in each section of the Smart Track.
NOTICE
Whenever possible, use two lags screws in each section of Smart Track to
ensure a secure installation. If the Smart Track is installed across more than one
joist, use one lag screw in every joist.
NOTICE
If you are installing each section of Smart Track separately, follow the directions
above for each section.
WARNING
Failure to mount the Smart Track and the Universal XL HD Lifter to secure
ceiling joists or rafters could result in property damage, serious personal injury,
or death.
