Installing the Column

1. Slide the trim ring onto the column, with the open side up.

2. Slide the column up into the column support, making sure the ratchet engages.

Warning: To ensure stability, at least one hole along the side of the column
must be fully visible above the column support.

3. If you need to raise the column, push up on the plate on the end. If you need to lower it, pull up on the

release ring while supporting the column from below.

4. When the column is at the right height, raise the column support's locking lever into the locked position.

5. Optional: Cut and fit pieces of ceiling tile to cover the column slot in the tile bridge.

6. Slide the trim ring into place.
