□
Press the spacer channel bar flush with the ceiling and mark ceiling with a pencil where a lag bolt will be used to attach the bar to the

– Perpendicular joist installation (option A or B on page 6). Make a mark at either the 16 in. hole or 24 in. hole depending on your joist
spacing. Remove the spacer channel bar.

It is very important that the lag bolt is fastened to the center of the joist. Use the hole saw drill bit (R) or cut away the drywall with a
utility knife to obtain an unobstructed view of the width of the joist so the exact center can easily be determined. It may be necessary
to reposition the spacer channel bar and mark with a pencil where the lag bolt is to be fastened.
□
Using a power drill with a 1/8 in. drill bit attached drill a pilot hole into the center of the joist.
□
Insert the flared end (the end without a fixed nut) of a spacer channel bar onto the fixed bolt coming down from the motor plate tab
above the strap spools on the motor hoist.
□
Attach a 6 mm nut (Q) to the fixed bolt and tighten with a ratchet or adjustable wrench until the spacer channel bar is securely
fastened to the motor hoist.
□
Place a lag bolt(s) (K) and using the ratchet fasten the bolt(s) into the joist(s) until the spacer channel bar is securely fastened.
