IMPORTANT PRE-ASSEMBLY INFORMATION:

Ceiling Tray (A) is designed to t within a 24" (610 mm) x 24" (610 mm) section of a conventional suspended ceiling

system. Ceiling runners (see DETAIL 1, page 2) should have a "T" cross section and a minimum height of 1.5" (38

mm). In cases where 24" (610 mm) x 48" (1219 mm) ceiling tiles are used, cut one tile in half and add another 24"

(610 mm) ceiling runner in order to make a 24" (610 mm) x 24" (610 mm) section.

For certain installations it may be best to install ceiling anchors (step 3) before installing the ceiling tray (step 2).

WARNING

• Weight of TV or screen shall not exceed maximum UL load capacity.

Cut tie wire (G)into four pieces of equal length. Insert wires through ends of turnbuckles. Twist each wire around

itself at least four times.

Drill holes for four ceiling anchors (see “Various Anchoring Methods"). Position the holes so that when the tie

wires (G) when attached and taut will angle out at 15O. Drill a fth anchor hole directly above the center of the

ceiling tray.

Pull tie wires tight and attach to ends of ceiling anchors (or truss). Again twist each wire around itself at least four

times.

When this step is complete, the weight of the ceiling tray should be supported by the tie wires.

Note: 20’ (6.1 m) of tie wire (G) is provided. If space between the true ceiling and suspended ceiling is more than

36" (914 mm), additional wire (12 gauge annealed, steel, black) will be needed.
