Cut tie wire (G) into four pieces of equal length. Insert wires through the ends of the turnbuckles and loop to prevent

the wire from slipping. Twist each wire around itself at least six times as tightly as possible.

Drill holes for four ceiling anchors (see “VariousAnchoring Methods”). Position the holes so when the tie wires are

attached and taut the optimal angle is 15° (see figure 3.1 for reference). Unit may be mounted at an angle up to 45°

if necessary.

Pull tie wires tight and loop through turnbuckles of the ceiling anchors (or truss). Again twist each wire around itself

at least six times as tightly as possible.

When this step is complete, the weight of the ceiling tray should be supported by the tie wires.
