Step 1
Determine motor mounting plate location on the ceiling
Choose a location in your garage where you would like to install your Garage
Gorilla model GG220 – an unobstructed operating space of at least 3 feet by 9
feet is required. The motor mounting plate (A) should be installed at least 3
feet away from walls or any other obstructions.
The GG220 is designed to be installed either perpendicular or parallel to the
ceiling joists and can be installed on joists with 16” or 24” spacing.
Select an installation location close to a power supply (preferably a ceiling outlet).
In the chosen installation area determine the direction of the ceiling joists and
the exact location of the ceiling joists by visually checking or using a stud finder
or a very fine drill bit.
Four installation options are illustrated below. Note how the motor mounting
plate (A) and motor hoist (B) are positioned for your installation – in particular
the location of the 4 fixed, threaded bolts on the motor mounting plate and the 4
½” spacer channel bar attachment tab on the motor hoist.
