Step 4
Connect and install the first spacer channel bar
Insert the flared end (the end without a fixed nut) of a spacer channel bar (C)
onto the fixed, threaded bolt coming down from the 4 ½” spacer channel bar
attachment tab on the motor hoist (B).
(SEE FIG. 4)
Press the spacer channel bar flush with the ceiling and mark with a pencil
where a lag bolt will be used to attach the bar to the joist.
--Perpendicular joist installation
(option A or B on page 7). Make a mark at
either the 16” hole or 24” hole depending on your joist spacing. Remove the
spacer channel bar.
--Parallel joist installation
(option C or D on page 7). Make a mark at the 21”
hole. Remove the spacer channel bar.
It is very important that the lag bolt is 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 bolt is to be fastened.
Using a power drill with a

” drill bit attached drill a pilot hole into the center of
the joist.
Insert the flared end (the end without a fixed nut) of a spacer channel bar onto
the fixed bolt coming down from the motor plate tab above the cable spools on
the motor hoist.
(SEE FIG. 4)
Attach a 6mm nut (Q) to the fixed bolt and tighten with a ratchet or adjustable
wrench until the spacer channel bar is securely fastened to the motor hoist.
(SEE FIG. 4)
Place a lag bolt(s) (K) and using the ratchet fasten the bolts(s) into the joist(s)
until the spacer channel bar is securely fastened.
