Step 5
Connect and install the second spacer channel bar
Line up the hole in the flared end (the end without a fixed nut) of the spacer
channel bar (C) over the hole in the installed spacer channel pulley bar.
Thread a ¼” x ½” bolt (P) into the hole and finger tighten.
(SEE FIG. 5)
Press the spacer channel bar flush with the ceiling and mark with a pencil
where the lag bolt(s) will be used to attach the bar to the joist(s).
--Perpendicular joist installation
(option A or B on page 7). There are holes
in the spacer channel bar at 16”, 24” and 32” from the lag bolt in the first
installed spacer channel bar. Measure from the lag bolt and determine the
appropriate hole(s) depending on your joist spacing.
(Installations with 16”
spacing will insert two lag bolts in this spacer channel bar – at 16” and 32”
from the first lag bolt. Installations with 24” spacing will have one lag bolt)
.
Remove the spacer channel bar.
--Parallel joist installation
(option C or D on page 7). Make marks at the 5”
and 21” holes on the spacer channel bar – measuring from the flared end of
this spacer channel bar. Remove the spacer channel bar.
It is very important that the lag bolts is fastened to the center of the joist(s).
Use the hole saw drill bit (U) or cut away the drywall with a utility knife to obtain
an unobstructed view of the width of the joist(s) so the exact center can easily
be determined. It may be necessary to reposition the spacer channel pulley bar
and mark with a pencil where the lag bolts(s) are to be fastened.
Using a power drill with a

” drill bit attached drill pilot holes(s).
Line up the hole in the flared end (the end without a fixed nut) of the spacer
channel bar (C) over the hole in the installed spacer channel pulley bar.
Thread a ¼” x ½” bolt into the hole and tighten with a ratchet or adjustable
wrench until the spacer channel bar is securely fastened.
(SEE FIG. 5)
Place a lag bolt(s) (K) and using the ratchet fasten the bolts(s) into the joist(s)
until the spacer channel bar is securely fastened.
