Locate and mark the center of ceiling joist. Use a stud finder to locate the joists if ceiling is
finished with drywall.
Align center of keyhole slots on the ceiling
mounting angle with the centerline of the
ceiling joist and mark the holes on both
ends.
Drill pilot holes using a 3/16” drill bit.
Install ceiling mounting angle into joist
using two 1/4” x 3” lag bolts, two 1/4”
washers and a 7/16” socket.
Note:
Make sure the lag bolts are tight against
the joist but DO NOT over-tighten the
lag bolts.
If lag bolts are over-tightened, the bolt
could snap or the hole may be stripped.
