A. PLAN THE INSTALLATION
Pull car into garage with object on car rack.
Measure length of object. Position Hoister so garage
door can open with object lowered.
STEP 1: DETERMINE HOISTER LOCATION
OPTION 1. Above Garage Door: Clearance to lift and store
object above open garage door.
OPTION 2. Below Garage Door: Use if not enough clearance
for Above Garage Door Storage (Option 1). Object has
clearance to lift and store below open garage door.
STORAGE OPTIONS
Measure height of object. Make sure object can be
stored above or below the open garage door.
DIAGRAM 1. Position object above car with clearance to
open garage door. If Hoister is mounted too close to
garage door, there may not be clearance to open door.
Mounted too far forward, object may not balance or
lower onto car.

DIAGRAM 3. Distance of mounting boards from front wall is important, as it affects the position of the welded screw eye in Step 5A.
DIAGRAM 2. Center object under mounting points. Position
mounting boards far enough apart so object is stable.
STEP 1 CONTINUED: DETERMINE HOISTER LOCATION
WARNING! Do not screw into laminated rafters.
They are not intended to accept fasteners. Consult
rafter maker for recommendations. Screwing
into laminated rafters may considerably weaken
system, causing load to fall which may cause
an accident.

B. PLAN LOCATION OF MOUNTING BOARDS
Mounting boards are used to position Hoister directly
above object to be lifted.
Note: Mounting boards may not be necessary for
nstallation in ceiling with exposed rafters. In ceilings
with exposed rafters, system can be installed on rafters.
Position Hoister directly above object to be lifted. If
installing without mounting boards, go to step 3.
DISTANCE BETWEEN MOUNTING BOARDS
Distance between mounting boards should be 1/3 of
object’s length.
Exception: Distance between mounting boards for long
SUPs will be less than 1/3 object’s length.
Calculate distance between mounting boards using
formula or chart below.
_________________ x .33 = _________________

A. DRILL CEILING RAFTER ATTACHMENT POINTS
LOCATE CEILING RAFTERS
Mounting boards must attach to ceiling rafters (see
diagram 4 and 4a). On finished ceilings, locate rafters
using stud finder. Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
Mark center of ceiling rafters. Drill 7/32" (5.5 mm) holes.
B. DRILL MOUNTING BOARD
Measure center-to-center distance between rafters.
Mark distance on mounting boards. Mark drill points
in the center of the board. Drill 5/16" (8 mm) holes
completely through the mounting boards.
C. ATTACH MOUNTING BOARDS TO CEILING
Attach mounting boards using 5/16" (8 mm) lag bolts
and washers (not included).
Do not over-tighten.
