If you are missing parts, contact Garage Smart for replacements (visit https://gar-
agesmart.com or call 833-234-8711, 6:00 am to 10 pm Mountain Time).

Part 1: Install the Mounting Bracket
Before you mount the bracket, determine the location in your garage where you would
like to store your item. Make sure there will be enough space between the walls and
where you mount the bracket so your item does not bump into anything on its way up
or down.
NOTICE
The mounting bracket needs to be installed in the center of a ceiling stud.
MyLifter units from Garage Smart are designed to be secured to flat ceil-
ings only. Do NOT attempt to secure lifters to angled ceilings or walls.
Do NOTinstall the mounting bracket in any manner other than specified
in these instructions.
1. Place the item you want to store on the floor in the area where you want to lift it.
2. Use your tape measure to measure the distance from the two nearest walls to
the center of the item you will be lifting.
3. Use your ladder to mark these same measurements on the garage ceiling. You
will use this mark as a reference point to find the nearest ceiling stud.
4. Use a stud finder to find the stud that is closest to reference point mark on the
ceiling.

a. Mark the left edge of the stud.
b. Mark the right edge of the stud.
c. Draw an X to mark the center of the stud.
WARNING
If your garage ceiling is textured, triple check the center marks you made to ensure
that you have found the center of each stud. Failure to secure the Smart Tracks to
the center of each stud could cause property damage, personal injury, or death.
5. Place the mounting bracket over the center mark you made for the ceiling stud
and use a pencil to mark where you will drill the pilot holes for the lag screws.
6. Using the included drill bit and the marks you made, drill pilot holes at least
three inches into the center of the stud.

7. Hold the mounting bracket in place on the ceiling and align the bracket's holes
with the pilot holes you drilled.
8. Use a 1/2 inch wrench or socket wrench to mount the bracket to the ceiling with
the included lag screws and washers.
9. Tighten the screws until the bracket is flush against the ceiling.
WARNING
As you turn the wrench, you should feel resistance. If the lag screw turns
freely, your pilot hole is not in the ceiling stud. You will need to find the cen-
ter of the stud and drill new pilot holes. Do NOT attempt to install the lifter
if the lag screws are not screwed into the stud. Doing so may result in
property damage, serious personal injury, or death.
Do NOTuse an impact driver to insert the lag screws into the stud. The
impact could over tighten the screws causing them to fail, which may res-
ult in property damage, serious personal injury, or death.
10. Align the MyLifter unit with the mounting bracket and insert the included quick
release pins through the holes.

Part 2: Install the Power Adapter
Find a suitable location to mount the power adapter to the wall or the celing. Confirm
that the AC cable will reach a power outlet and the DC cable will reach your MyLifter.
1. Find the closest outlet on the wall or ceiling.
2. Use a stud finder to find a suitable mounting location near the closest outlet.
3. Use a pencil to mark two points exactly two inches apart to indicate where you
will place the wall mount screws.
4. Use a Philips head screwdriver to screw the wall mount screws into the two
marks you made. DONOT screw in the wall mount screws all the way. Allow the
screw heads to produce from the wall or the ceiling by about 1/4 inch.
5. Align the two large holes on the back of the adapter over the wall mount screw
heads and slide the power adapter to lock it into place.

6. Plug one end of the DC power cable into the power adapter and the other end
into the MyLifter unit.

7. Plug the power adapter into the nearest outlet.
8. Secure the cables with the included cable fasteners.
a. Peel off the adhesive backing.
b. Stick the clip on the ceiling where you want it.
c. Use a cable management screw to secure the clip to the ceiling.
d. Place the wires in the clip.
e. Securely close the clip.
NOTICE
The cable management clips can hold the AC and DC cables. The
cable management screws can be placed in drywall or a stud.
Excess cable can be wrapped around the power adapter.

NOTICE
Multiple power adapters can be "daisy chained" together by plugging
the AC power cable into the AC outlet on the power adapter.

Part 3: Install the Eyelet Screw
NOTICE
If your MyLifter is mounted parallel to
the stud, the eyelet screw must be
placed on the same side as the unit's
power plug. This prevents the fully
raised cable from contacting the
MyLifter and causing cable damage.
NOTICE
If your unit is mounted perpendicular to
the stud, the eyelet screw must be
placed on the same side where the
cable comes out of the lifter (the side
where the cable hangs when it is fully
coiled). This prevents the fully raised
cable from contacting the MyLifter and
causing cable damage.
1. Use a stud finder to find the center of the stud.
2. Mark the center of the stud about two inches away from the lifter.
Placing the eyelet screw two inches from the lifter ensures that the cables will be
as straight as possible when the item is fully lifted.
3. Use a drill to drill a pilot hole at least three inches into the mark you made.
4. Use a screwdriver to turn the eyelet screw into the pilot hole.

5. If your ceiling has drywall, tighten the eyelet screw until you can't see the
screw's threads, then turn the screw three more complete revolutions.
6. If your ceiling does not have drywall, tighten the eyelet screw just until you can't
see the screw's threads.
7. Attach the provided carabiner to the eyelet screw.
WARNING
Failure to place the eyelet screw into a secure ceiling stud or rafter may
result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death.

Part 4: Install the Hook and Pulley
NOTICE
The basic MyLifter unit can lift up to 50 pounds without using the eyelet
screw and pulley system. If your item weighs more than 50 pounds you
must install the eyelet screw and run the cable under the pulley in the
hook.
To install the hook and pulley, you need to lower the cable from the lifter. To lower the
cable, you need to use the MyLifter app and pair the lifter with your smart device.
1. Download and install the MyLifter app from or the .
2. Ensure that the Bluetooth features are enabled on your smart device.
3. In the MyLifter app, tap Add Devices in the bottom right corner to open the Avail-
able Lifters screen.
This screen displays a list of all lifters within range of your Bluetooth com-
munications. If you do not see any available lifters, make sure you have plugged
in the power cable to the nearest outlet.
On the MyLifter unit, you should see a slow blinking yellow Status light.
4. Firmly press the Pair button next to the Status light on the lifters.
