Installation

 

Position the paper motor mounting template (N) in the installation location and mark with a pencil the six spots where the 
lags bolts will be fastened.

 

It is very important that the wood screws are fastened to the center of the joists. 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 joists so the exact center can easily be 
determined (covered ceilings only). It may be necessary to again use the motor mounting template and a pencil to mark 
where the wood screws are to be fastened.
