Connect and install the spacer channel pulley bar
□
Press the spacer channel bar flush with the ceiling and mark with a pencil where the lag bolts will be used to attach the bar to the
joist.
□
– PERPENDICULAR JOIST INSTALLATION (option A or B on page 6). There are sets of holes on each side of the spacer channel bar at
16 in. and 24 in. from the last lag bolt installed. Measure from the last lag bolt and determine the appropriate holes depending on your
joist spacing. Remove the spacer channel pulley bar.
□
– PARALLEL JOIST INSTALLATION (option C or D on page 6). Make marks at one hole before the pulley and one hole after the pulley.
Remove the spacer channel pulley bar.
□
It is very important that the lag bolts are fastened to the center of the joist. Use the hole saw drill bit (U) or cut away the drywall with a
utility knife to obtain an unobstructed view of the width of the joist 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 bolts are to be fastened.
□
Using a power drill with a 1/8 in. drill bit attached drill two pilot holes into the center of the joists.
□
Line up the hole in the end opposite the pulley of the spacer channel pulley bar (D) over the hole in the second 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 pulley bar is
securely fastened.
□
Place a washer (L) over the lag bolts (K) and using the hex key fasten the screws into the joist until the spacer channel pulley bar is
securely fastened to the joist.
