5. Instructions d'installation
Before starting, ensure you have the necessary tools: drill, stud finder, level, screwdriver, and a pencil. It is recommended to have a second person assist with installation.
5.1. Déterminer l'emplacement de montage
Locate a suitable ceiling joist or solid concrete area. Use a stud finder to confirm the location of wooden studs. For concrete ceilings, ensure the concrete is solid and thick enough for anchors.
5.2. Install Ceiling Plate
- Position the ceiling plate (part of the main assembly) against the ceiling at your desired location.
- Mark the drill holes through the plate onto the ceiling using a pencil.
- Drill pilot holes. For wood studs, use a smaller drill bit than the lag bolts. For concrete, use a masonry drill bit and insert concrete anchors.
- Secure the ceiling plate using the provided lag bolts and washers. Ensure it is firmly attached and level.
