these instructions assume that the installing contractor will exercise proper
judgment in selecting the mounting area and hardware.
As a guide, the installation, when complete should be capable of
supporting 5 to 10 times the actual applied load. Also, always use a backup
safety system such as a safety cable.
To assure a trouble-free installation, read and follow these
instructions carefully before beginning. If you have doubts about
the integrity of the structure you are mounting to or you are not
sure about the proper hardware to use, consult a structural and/or
