sinker nail-CHECK THAT THIS ENTERS JOIST
Determine where the Hyloft 3 x 3 unit will be installed, such as in a pantry, bedroom, laundry room,
closet or garage. (If installing above the open garage door you will need at least 17" of open space
between the highest point of door and the ceiling as measured during its upward travel.)
Map out the ceiling area of the room where you are installing your unit. Locate the ceiling joists in the
area of desired installation and determine the direction in which they are running. In order to
adequately disperse the stored load, you should install not more than three HyLoft 3 x 3 units on any
two ceiling rafters (joists, roof trusses, etc.). IMPORTANT: The opposite and adjacent ceiling Bent
Downrods must be installed in line with each other so that the four downrods form a perfect square.
Refer to the diagram below or photos on the package for additional installation clarification.
Measure
36 ½” from
outside edges of
downrods or use
holes in support bar
as a template Mark with
pencil
1B. Measure 36 ½" along the stud from the outside edge of the bent downrod to locate
the outside edge of the opposite downrod, or use the holes in the Crossbars(B)
as a template to locate the screw hole locations for the opposite downrod. Mark with
pencil. Repeat for final downrod.
IMPORTANT:
Downrods must
be perfectly
square (90 degrees)
& in line with each
other
90o
IMPORTANT-Read through entire instructions before beginning any installation.
