• If there is no sufficient room to insert the bracket through the cut-out, then break off side A of
the bracket (break along the fold lines where side A borders side B and D). (Fig. 5.2 & 5.3)
• The mounting bracket installs within the ceiling, affixing to the top side of the ceiling. Place
the bracing with the tapered ends of the screw holes facing down (protruding ends facing
up). (Fig. 5.4)
• Secure the mounting bracket to the ceiling by screwing 3 screws through the corresponding
pencil marks on the bottom side of the finished ceiling (Fig. 5.5). Avoid countersinking the
screws below the surface of the finished ceiling. (Fig. 5.6)
