• Must have a maximum of 24" (610mm) between the trusses in the ceiling.
• Ceiling must be made of wood or 1/2"(12.7mm) sheet rock or thicker.
• Ensure ceiling and floor are clear of any dust, grease, water or any foreign substance.
A build-up of nicotine, grease or water on the ceiling will affect the integrity of the Easytrack System.

• Ensure floor is clear of any dust, grease, water or any foreign substance.
• Floor must not have a slope of more than 0.5 °. See drawing below to determine the floor slope. Use a level or contact a contractor if unsure of floor slope.
Bath Requirements
• Ensure your tub is made of porcelain or metal and has sufficient structure underneath the tub to withstand the weight required (see drawing below). If you are unsure of the structural integrity of the tub, contact the manu­facturer or a contractor to evaluate the structure.
