Step 2 -
Install the motor mounting plate to the ceiling
• Position the paper motor mounting template (V) in the installation area and mark with a
pencil the four locations where the wood screws 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 to wood screws are to be fastened.
• Using a power drill with a 1/8” drill bit attached drill four pilot holes into the center of the
joists.
• Identify your installation option by referring to the illustrations on page 7. Determine how
the motor mounting plate should be rotated - where the fixed, threaded bolts should be
located -
prior to fastening to the joists.
Ensure your motor mounting plate
is rotated properly before placing the motor mounting plate on ceiling.
(SEE ILLUSTRATIONS ON PAGE 7)
• Place the motor mounting plate (A)
without
the motor hoist (B) attached over the screw
holes. (To remove the motor hoist from the motor mounting plate loosen (it is not
necessary to remove) the nut from the fixed bolts on the motor mounting plate and slide
off the motor hoist.)
• Using the ratchet and 1/2” socket fasten four of the 3” lag bolts (K) into the joists until the
motor mounting plate is securely fastened.
