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 lag bolts will be fastened.
It is very important that the lag bolts 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 lag bolts are to be fastened.
Using a power drill with a

” 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 the 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 nuts from the fixed bolts on the motor
mounting plate and slide off the motor hoist.)
Using the ratchet and
½
” socket fasten four of the 3” lag bolts (K) into the joists until
the motor mounting plate is securely fastened.
