Ceiling Installation (continued)
Install the Ceiling Stays
Refer to the installation drawings and determine where each ceiling stay assembly must be installed.
1. Remove and set aside the hex head screw, washer, and lock nut from the ceiling stay base bracket.
2. Attach a ceiling stay base bracket to the truss assembly.
a. Hold the base bracket mounting hole against the truss assembly and align the hole in the
base bracket to the ceiling stay mounting hole in the truss assembly.
Always assemble the ceiling stay on the upstage side (refer to the illustration below).
b. Insert the hex head screw removed in step 1 through the base bracket mounting hole and
the ceiling stay mounting hole in the truss and attach the washer and lock nut
(set aside in step 1 above) to the screw as shown in the illustration below.
c. Use a 9/16" combination wrench and tighten the lock nut.
