HyLoft 00720 Instrucciones De Montaje página 3

Installation Time: Approximately 30 minutes
Important: Read through entire instructions before beginning any installations.
1. Install Downrods to Ceiling Studs
Determine where the HyLoft 36" x 36" 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 it's 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 36" x 36" 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.
IMPORTANT: Do not over-tighten the Lag Screws (max 10 ft. lbs.).
They only need to be fully seated, no more. Do not use an impact driver.
1A:
Attach first Ceiling Downrod (C) into Ceiling Joist. Use a Sinker Nail in the center hole to hold it in place
and test that it is in the joist. Pre-drill 3/16" holes for (2) Lag Screws (G). Use a 1/2" socket wrench or nut
driver to install (2) of the Lag Screws (G). Locate another joist from 24" to 32" away. Install the second
Ceiling Downrod (C) making sure it is perfectly in line and square with the first Ceiling Downrod (C).
1B:
Measure 36-1/2" along the stud from the outside edge of the bent Ceiling Downrod (C) to locate the
outside edge of the opposite Ceiling Downrod (C), or use the holes in the Crossbars (B) as a template to
locate the screw hole locations for the opposite Ceiling Downrod (C). Mark with pencil. Repeat for final
Ceiling Downrod (C).
