nut (not included) to the bolt.
• Drive the anchor bolt into the original ceiling directly above the center of 
the hole made in step 1.
• The end of the anchor bolt should be 38 mm (1 1/2 inches) above the 
bottom of the ceiling board.
• The bottom of the nut should be 52 mm (2 1/16 inches) above the 
bottom of the ceiling board. 
3.Secure the safety wire to the bracket using screw C (included).
