Plan Location of 2-Point Lift System

Read instructions before starting. Plan ceiling location of mounting
board. Position welded screw eye (E) at top of adjoining wall.
Distance from organizer (B) on end of board to welded screw
eye must be equal or greater than lifting distance. See Fig. 2

and “Install Welded Screw Eye” instructions next page.

Mount Board to Ceiling

Draw a centerline the length of a 6' (1.83 m) 2" x 6" pine mounting
board. Use a stud finder to locate ceiling trusses/rafters on which
to mount system (follow manufacturer’s instructions). Drill four
(three minimum)
board centerline matching truss/rafter locations. Use holes in
mounting board as template to mark ceiling. Drill truss/rafters
using a 7/32" (5.5 mm) drill bit. Install board using 5/16" x 4" (8 x

WARNING: Do not screw into laminated rafters.
They are not intended to accept fasteners.
Consult rafter maker for recommendations.
Screwing into laminated rafters can weaken
system, causing load to fall which can cause
an accident.

WARNING: Do not over-tighten pigtail lag screws
past top thread. This can weaken fastener hold
which can weaken system, causing load to fall
which can cause an accident.

Weave Rope

Place one (1) micro pulley (A) on each pigtail lag screw (J).
Feed drop ropes (G) through organizer (B). Feed short drop
rope through near pulley. Feed long drop rope through far pulley.

Make sure ropes do not rub on near pulley or pigtail screw.

Align screw eyes in same direction as rope running through
pulley. See Fig. 3

Set-Up System

Place object to be lifted in its normal position directly under
system.Tie rope to webbing strap (I) using a figure 8 knot.

See Fig. 4.

Tip: Both knots should be close to level to lift object evenly.
Check knots. Make sure they are tied securely and will

not come undone.

2. Pass free end of rope through sewn webbing eye, then retrace original
eight. Additional Help: Go to knot tying resources at www.harken.com/knots.

Look for Figure 8 Follow Through Loop.

3. Keep loop that passes through webbing eye as short as possible.
Tightly cinch all four strands of rope exiting knot.

With object to be lifted directly under the system, unbuckle
strap assembly. For bikes, thread one buckle through the rear
wheel and around the frame,and fasten. Thread the other buckle
through the front wheel, behind the fork, around the frame, and
fasten (see Fig. 5). For other objects, thread buckles around
and/or through a solid connection point on the object (ie. the
rungs of a ladder or support braces of a wheelbarrow). Fasten
buckles. You will hear a click when the buckles lock. Adjust

straps as needed to balance load.

Equalize Rope Tension

Slowly pull single rope to check if load is level. Both drop ropes
must have equal tension so load remains level. To level load,

adjust tension by moving knot or adjusting webbing strap at
buckle. When level/balanced you are ready to lift.

A. ATTACH OBJECT

Attach bike/other items: Place item directly under lifting
system and unbuckle strap assembly.

Bicycles: Thread one buckle through rear wheel and frame
or rack and fasten. Thread other buckle through front wheel
(behind fork), and around frame and fasten.

Figure 5

WARNING: When operating system, make sure area
below object is clear of persons. If object comes
down too quickly, this can cause an accident.

B. RAISE OBJECT

Hoist in a series of pulls. Pull single hoisting rope (H)
straight down.

With rope pointed down cleat will lock rope and you
can release it. Repeat until object is at desired height.

Locked:
Rope (H) down

DIAGRAM 21. Locked (left): single hoisting rope (H) pointed

straight down locks cleat. Open (right): angled rope opens cleat.

Open:
Rope (H) angled

WARNING: Stop pulling as soon as object contacts
ceiling or webbing strap knots stop at pulley (A).
Damage or injury may result from forcing the system.
If in doubt, stop hoisting. Allow cleat to lock by angling
line down. Stand back to see if object is raised to the
maximum, or if something is jamming rope or object.

C. STORE OBJECT

With object in raised position, make sure single hoisting
rope (H) is securely locked in cleat with rope pointed
down (see Diagram 21). Coil loose rope end. Hang
coiled rope for storage when system is not in use.

For additional security, use two safety 5/16" (8 mm)

Tip:
polyester ropes. Securely tie ends to pigtail lag screws
under object, parallel with webbing straps (I). Remove
safety ropes before lowering object.

WARNING: Hang coiled rope where it will not
accidentally snag on persons or vehicle. Keep coiled
rope out of reach of children. Damage or injury can
result if rope is angled away from wall with some
tension; the object can come down very quickly
which can cause an accident.
