holes and fasten the bracket securely to a structural
support with the hardware provided.

shown.
• Center the bracket on the vertical mark, no more
than 6" from the wall. Make sure the arrow is
pointing toward the wall. The bracket can be
mounted flush against the ceiling when clearance is
minimal.
