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

where the wood screws are to be fastened.
