2. Attach the ceiling brackets

5/16" x 3" Lag bolt

Perpendicular layout

The garage overhead storage rack can be positioned parallel or perpendicular to the wood ceiling joists/rafters. Determine the application required for your desired installation. If drywall is on the ceiling, use a stud nder to determine the joist/rafter locations and mark with masking tape. For application requiring installation of the brackets perpendicular to the joists/rafters, the maximum distance between them is 24". The brackets included allow for a 24" maximum span. See gure for typical ceiling layouts. Mark the location of the ceiling brackets on the joists/rafters or drywall, making sure the vertical supports can be positioned between the lag bolts used to attach the brackets. Position the center of the brackets on a 48" grid as shown in gure.

Using the provided drill bit (3/16"), drill all pilot holes in the center of the joists/rafter. Two lag bolts must be used on each bracket

- one on each side of the vertical support. Mount the 6 ceiling brackets (P2) using 5/16" x 3" Lag bolts (F2) (12).

Installing Overhead Gearloft™ Storage Rack

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move storage rack.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

1. Attach the EZ connect supports

Using two or more people, the rack system can be easily lifted and positioned overhead. The EZ connect feature allows for positioning 23" to 37" from the ceiling. Lift the rack into place and connect all 6 lower supports to the upper supports. Make sure the rack supports are all in the same position and the rack is level.

2. Complete the assembly

Make sure all bolts and screws are tight. Once the rack is in the desired location below the ceiling, place an EZ connect lock pin (F5) (6) in a hole on each of the corner and center supports to lock/retain them together. The pins go through both upper and lower supports.

NOTE : The rack system can be repositioned up or down by removing all lock pins and relocating the EZ connect position on the supports. Use two or more people to relocate the rack and replace the EZ connect lock pins (F5) (6).
