5. Remove the Drilling Template from the joist.

6. Place the BPS-1 cabinet on

the temporary brackets,
aligning its mounting holes
with the holes drilled
through the joist. (Insert
shims underneath the 
cabinet as necessary to
bring its mounting holes in
alignment with the holes
drilled in the joist.)

7. Screw the eight included lag

screws through the holes in
the joist and into the holes
in the side of the BPS-1 cab-
inet, as shown in 

Figure 5

.

Use the shorter lag screws
for I-joist construction; use the longer lag screws for standard joist construction.

8. After confirming that the BPS-1 cabinet is securely attached to the joist, remove the temporary brackets

from the underside of the joists.
