STATIONARY
INSTALLATION
on a Wood
Joist Ceiling
This machine
will lift itself to the
ceiling as shown
& described below.
1. Locate ceiling joists and pre-drill six 1/4” holes
(depending on your joist spacing) for 3/8” lag screws
approximately 2” deep on 16” centers.
2. Place 6 large eye lag bolts 6” outside the previously pre-
drilled lag screw holes as shown.
3. While the machine is still on the ground, plug the machine
in and unwind straps until fully extended.
4. Flip the machine so that the motor and components are
touching the floor.
5. Connect extended straps to eye bolts and lift the hoist to
the ceiling by pressing the up button on the remote or
pendant (this keeps the hooks on the machine from
jamming or catching in the machine spools while lifting).
Be sure the straps wind up level on the spools.
6. In securing the hoist to the ceiling it is very important to
keep the frame level and not to conform to the irregularities
of the ceiling.
