IMPORTANT WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS!
• WARNING: This is an electrical device. All electrical installation procedures should be performed by a qualified elec-
trician.
• WARNING: Improper installation can result in serious personal injury! Make sure that the ceiling structural mem-
bers can support a redundant weight factor five times
the total weight of the equipment. If the ceiling can not support
this weight, reinforce the ceiling before installing the lift.
• WARNING: Be aware during the installation that this is a motorized device, and there are pinch points for people and
for electrical wiring.
• WARNING: Be aware of the potential for personal injury or damage to the lift if it is not adequately mounted. The lift
(without a projector) weighs approximately 85 lbs (38.5 kg).
• WARNING: Plenum rating requires the unit to be hard wired through the provided strain relief, use of Class II control
wiring, and all open holes in housing (except joist tabs) must be sealed using foil tape.
• WARNING: Electrical outlets must be installed by a qualified electrician. Follow all electrical codes.
• CAUTION: Test the lift for shipping damage. See “PRETEST THE LIFT BEFORE INSTALLING” on page 6.
• CAUTION: For smooth and reliable operation, the lift must be installed square and parallel in all dimensions. Avoid stress-
ing or twisting the lift at any time during installation.
• CAUTION: Changes or modifications not approved by Chief Manufacturing could void user’s warranty.
• CAUTION: Improper weight distribution could lead to equipment damage. Make certain projector weight is centered on cra-
dle when mounted.
