Connect and install the second spacer channel bar
□
Line up the hole in the flared end (the end without a fixed nut) of the spacer channel bar (C) over the hole in the installed spacer
channel pulley bar. Thread a ¼ in. x ½ in. bolt (P) into the hole and finger tighten.
□
Press the spacer channel bar flush with the ceiling and mark with a pencil where the lag bolt(s) will be used to attach the bar to the
joist(s).
□
– PERPENDICULAR JOIST INSTALLATION (option A or B on page 6). There are holes in the spacer channel bar at 16 in., 24 in. and 32 in.
from the lag bolt in the first installed spacer channel bar. Measure from the lag bolt and determine the appropriate hole(s) depending
on your joist spacing. (Installations with 16 in. spacing will insert two lag bolts in this spacer channel bar – at 16 in. and 32 in. from
the first lag bolt. Installations with 24 in. spacing will have one lag bolt). Remove the spacer channel bar.
□
– PARALLEL JOIST INSTALLATION (option C or D on page 6). Make marks at the 5 in. and 21 in. holes on the spacer channel bar –
measuring from the flared end of this spacer channel bar. Remove the spacer channel bar.
□
It is very important that the lag bolts are fastened to the center of the joist(s). Use the hole saw drill bit (R) or cut away the drywall
with a utility knife to obtain an unobstructed view of the width of the joist(s) so the exact center can easily be determined. It may be
necessary to reposition the spacer channel pulley bar and mark with a pencil where the lag bolt(s) are to be fastened.
□
Using a power drill with a

in. drill bit attached, drill pilot hole(s).
□
Line up the hole in the flared end (the end without a fixed nut) of the spacer channel bar (c) over the hole in the installed spacer
channel pulley bar. Thread a ¼ in. x ½ in. bolt into the hole and tighten with a ratchet or adjustable wrench until the spacer channel bar
is securely fastened.
□
Place a lag bolt(s) (K) and using the ratchet fasten the bolt(s) into the joist(s) until the spacer channel bar is securely fastened.
