1: Install the Loftmaster
Installation
Marking Out
1.1 Measure and draw the ‘centre line’
on the ceiling joist midway across the
width of the loft opening where the
mounting brackets will be fitted, Fig 1.1.
Measure 188 mm either side of this line
and draw a vertical line at these points
greater than 90 mm long to mark the
mounting bracket centre lines.
1.2 Refer to Fig 1.2 and Fig 1.3. The
brackets are supplied with their ladder
sub-frame carrier tubes fitted. Note that
these brackets are ‘handed’, left bracket
and right bracket.
Take the first bracket and place it on the
mounting board so that it is placed over
the bracket centre line and slide it until
the lower screw hole is centred on this
line. Mark the centre point of this hole.
Fixing the Brackets
1.3 Remove the bracket and drill a 4mm
diameter hole at the position just
marked.
Fix the bracket using one of the fixing
screws supplied. Similarly drill the other
three holes (one on top) and screw in
the other screws. Repeat for the other
bracket, see Fig 1.3.
