OPTION A OPTION C
OPTION D
Pre-Installation
Determine motor mounting location on the ceiling
Choose a location in your garage where you would like to install your Garage Gator model 68221 – an unobstructed operating space
of at least 3 feet by 4 feet is required. The motor mounting plate (A) should be installed at least 3 feet away from walls or any other
obstructions and close to a power supply (preferably a ceiling outlet).
The motorized lift is designed to be installed either perpendicular or parallel to the ceiling joists and can be installed on joists with
16in. or 24in. spacing.
In the chosen installation area determine the direction of the ceiling joists and the exact location of the ceiling joists by visually
checking or using a joist nder or a very ne drill bit.
Four installation options are illustrated below. Note how the motor mounting plate (A) and motor hoist (B) are positioned for your
installation – in particular the location of the 4 xed threaded bolts on the motor mounting plate and the 4 ½ in. spacer channel bar
attachment tab on the motor hoist. Determine how the motor mounting plate should be rotated – where the xed, threaded bolts
should be located – prior to fastening to the joists. Identify your installation option.

This is the best way to follow and understand the installation process.
Installation
Position the paper motor mounting template (N) in the installation location and mark with a pencil the six spots where the
lags bolts will be fastened.
It is very important that the wood screws are fastened to the center of the joists. Use the hole saw drill bit (R) or cut away
the drywall with a utility knife to obtain an unobstructed view of the width of the joists so the exact center can easily be
determined (covered ceilings only). It may be necessary to again use the motor mounting template and a pencil to mark
where the wood screws are to be fastened.

WARNING: Motor mounting plate must
be fastened to wooden joists in the building
framing. Do not fasten to drywall, particle board,
plaster or other such materials. Failure to do
this may result in injury or death.
2 Install the motor mounting plate to the ceiling
Using a power drill with a 1/8 in. drill bit attached, drill six pilot holes into the center of the joists.
Using the ratchet and ½ in. socket (T) fasten 6 of the 4 in. lag bolts (K) into the joists until the motor mounting plate is securely
fastened.
Installation (continued)
WARNING: Slide the motor hoist until the tabs are rmly
against the threaded bolts. Do not leave any space between
the bolts and the enclosed end of the mounting tabs.
3 Attach the motor hoist to the motor mounting plate
Slide the mounting tabs on the motor hoist (B) over the top of the 4 xed, threaded bolts on the motor mounting plate (A). (If there is
not enough room between the washers and the motor mounting plate for the motor hoist mounting tabs, it will be necessary to loosen
the nuts by turning them counter clockwise.)
Once the motor hoist is properly positioned on the motor mounting plate, tighten the nut with the ratchet or the adjustable wrench until
the motor hoist is securely attached to the motor mounting plate.

4 Connect and install the rst spacer channel bar
Press the spacer channel bar ush with the ceiling and mark ceiling with a pencil where a lag bolt will be used to attach the bar to the
joist.
– Perpendicular joist installation (option A or B on page 6). Make a mark at either the 16 in. hole or 24 in. hole depending on your joist
spacing. Remove the spacer channel bar.
– Parallel joist installation (option C or D on page 6). Make a mark at the 21 in. hole.
Remove the spacer channel bar.
It is very important that the lag bolt is fastened to the center of the joist. Use the hole saw drill bit (R) or cut away the drywall with a
utility knife to obtain an unobstructed view of the width of the joist so the exact center can easily be determined. It may be necessary
to reposition the spacer channel bar and mark with a pencil where the lag bolt is to be fastened.
Using a power drill with a 1/8 in. drill bit (U) attached, drill a pilot hole into the center of the joist.
Insert the ared end (the end without a xed nut) of a spacer channel bar onto the xed bolt coming down from the motor plate tab
above the strap spools on the motor hoist.
Attach a 6 mm nut (Q) to the xed bolt and tighten with a ratchet or adjustable wrench until the spacer channel bar is securely
fastened to the motor hoist.
Place a lag bolt(s) (K) and using the ratchet fasten the bolt(s) into the joist(s) until the spacer channel bar is securely fastened.

5 Connect and install the second spacer channel bar
Line up the hole in the ared end (the end without a xed nut) of the spacer channel bar (C) over the hole in the installed spacer
channel pulley bar. Thread a ¼ in. x ½ in. bolt (P) into the hole and nger tighten.
Press the spacer channel bar ush with the ceiling and mark with a pencil where the lag bolt(s) will be used to attach the bar to the
joist(s).
PERPENDICULAR JOIST INSTALLATION (option A or B on page 6). There are holes in the spacer channel bar at 16 in., 24 in. and 32 in.
from the lag bolt in the rst installed spacer channel bar. Measure from the lag bolt and determine the appropriate hole(s) depending
on your joist spacing. (Installations with 16 in. spacing will insert two lag bolts in this spacer channel bar – at 16 in. and 32 in. from
the rst lag bolt. Installations with 24 in. spacing will have one lag bolt). Remove the spacer channel bar.
PARALLEL JOIST INSTALLATION (option C or D on page 6). Make marks at the 5 in. and 21 in. holes on the spacer channel bar –
measuring from the ared end of this spacer channel bar. Remove the spacer channel bar.
It is very important that the lag bolts are fastened to the center of the joist(s). Use the hole saw drill bit (R) or cut away the drywall
with a utility knife to obtain an unobstructed view of the width of the joist(s) so the exact center can easily be determined. It may be
necessary to reposition the spacer channel pulley bar and mark with a pencil where the lag bolt(s) are to be fastened.
Using a power drill with a 116 in. drill bit attached, drill pilot hole(s).
Line up the hole in the ared end (the end without a xed nut) of the spacer channel bar (c) over the hole in the installed spacer
channel pulley bar. Thread a ¼ in. x ½ in. bolt into the hole and tighten with a ratchet or adjustable wrench until the spacer channel bar
is securely fastened.
Place a lag bolt(s) (K) and using the ratchet fasten the bolt(s) into the joist(s) until the spacer channel bar is securely fastened.

Press the spacer channel bar ush with the ceiling and mark with a pencil where the lag bolts will be used to attach the bar to the
joist.
– PERPENDICULAR JOIST INSTALLATION (option A or B on page 6). There are sets of holes on each side of the spacer channel bar at
16in. and 24in. from the last lag bolt installed. Measure from the last lag bolt and determine the appropriate holes depending on your
joist spacing. Remove the spacer channel pulley bar.
– PARALLEL JOIST INSTALLATION (option C or D on page 6). Make marks at one hole before the pulley and one hole after the pulley.
Remove the spacer channel pulley bar.
It is very important that the lag bolts are fastened to the center of the joist. Use the hole saw drill bit (U) or cut away the drywall with a
utility knife to obtain an unobstructed view of the width of the joist so the exact center can easily be determined. It may be necessary
to reposition the spacer channel pulley bar and mark with a pencil where the lag bolts are to be fastened.
Using a power drill with a 1/8 in. drill bit attached drill two pilot holes into the center of the joists.
Line up the hole in the end opposite the pulley of the spacer channel pulley bar (D) over the hole in the second spacer channel pulley
bar. Thread a ¼ in. x ½ in. bolt into the hole and tighten with a ratchet or adjustable wrench until the spacer channel pulley bar is
securely fastened.
Place a washer (L) over the lag bolts (K) and using the hex key fasten the screws into the joist until the spacer channel pulley bar is
securely fastened to the joist.
