Suitable installation site For ceiling installation, a concrete ceiling or a load-bearing wooden beam construction is suitable.18 For floor installation, a concrete foundation or concrete slab of at least 50 x 50 x 5cm (L x W x D) is suitable. Note: Alternative installation conditions must have the load-bearing capacity and strength inspected by a specialist. Suitable installation materials Before installing the item, the material must be determined. If the installation site is load bearing, then the appropriate materials for fixing to it must be selected. Fixing materials:

• Dowel Ø 10/50 (13) and screw ST6 x 50mm (14) for concrete and load-bearing masonry.

• Screw ST6 x 50mm (14) for load-bearing wooden beam constructions. Note: Please consult your local specialist store for fixing materials suitable for floor and ceiling brackets. Installation Install ceiling bracket Important: Both ceiling brackets must be perfectly aligned and have a distance of exactly 288cm from each other (measured between the inner edge of both ceiling brackets) (Fig. F).

1. Place the ceiling bracket (11) in

the desired position und mark 2 opposing holes with a pencil (Fig. B).

2. Using the correct tool, drill 2 holes

in the marked places. Insert 1 dowel (13) into each hole (Fig. C).

3. Place a rubber plate (10) on each

ceiling bracket (11). Insert 2 screws (14) into a washer (18) each and screw the screws (14) in slightly to the rubber plates to fix them in place (Fig. D). Note: This step makes it easier to fix the ceiling bracket to the ceiling later.

4. Fit the ceiling bracket to the ceiling

5. Fit the second ceiling bracket as

described in steps 1–4. Install floor bracket
