Find a secure attachment point (wood ceiling
joist highly recommended) and secure safety
cable. It will be necessary to use a heavy duty
wood screw, washer and lock washer (not
supplied) with the safety cable loop. If
necessary, adjust the loop at the end of the
safety cable. The loop at the end of the safety
cable should just fit over the threads on the
wood screw. Test safety cable by pulling on
loose end with pliers. If the safety cable slips, the
loop must be adjusted tighter.Extra cable slack
can be left in ceiling area.
