A build-up of nicotine, grease or water on the ceiling will affect the integrity of the Easytrack System.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Read "Requirements" and Important Safeguards before attempting to assemble the Easytrack System.
1. Survey the room where you plan to install the Easytrack System. Make sure the room meets all the specifi­cations outlined in "Requirements".
2. Use the measurements below to determine the best place to put the Easytrack System: a. Over a bed - approx. 36-40"
(915-1020 mm) from the head of the bed (Figure 1).
b. Over a tub - approx. 16-18"
(400-460 mm ) from the end of the tub (Figure 1).
c. Allow 36" (1000 mm) of open
area for transfer working space (Figure 2).
d. Transfers should only take place
between the Easytrack System posts (Figure 3).
3. Though it is not a requirement to place the posts directly under a joist in the ceiling, it is preferable. It does not matter which direction the top plate is facing (Figures 4 & 5).
