SVS PLASMA ONE 7 - Manual (Page 7)

Spacers may be required
• b. Side Mounting: This can be done by
bolting the lift's sides with four 3/8" bolts to
the ceiling joist. The lift is designed to fit
within a standard gap of 16" floor joist.
Spacers should be added to the side of the
lift's frame to avoid expanding it when the
bolts are tightened. The 14" outside
dimension of the lift's top frame should
always be maintained – see figure 5.

4. Lift Installation:
a. Preparation:
a. The lift will be stored in a wood crate in an inverted position. Remove the Philips screws from the top lid.
b. Unbolt the lift from the bottom panel of the crate. To prepare the lift for installation, position the lift in
an upright position.
c. The warranty information and the low voltage controller are located in the white box. Please read these
instructions before beginning the install.
b. Installing the lift in the ceiling (see figure 6):
TOP MOUTING:
a. Raise the lift, insert it into the ceiling and line up
the 4 mounting holes of the top frame to the
3/8"
threaded rods of the supporting structure. Make
sure that there is a top nut on each rod before the
lift is mounted. When using nuts above and below
top frame, always leave top nuts loose to allow
adjustments and until final adjustment is
completed.
b. Secure the lift to upper threaded rods. It is
important to use locking nuts and washers to
ensure a safe installation.
c. Check that the top frame is leveled from front to
back and side to side.
d. Secure the top nuts. It is important not to over
tighten the fasteners before the lift is leveled as it
could distort the top frame.
SIDE MOUNTING:
a. If the lift is side mounted, the vertical placement
of the lift must be accurate. Raise the lift in the
proper position (12" up from the false ceiling).
b. Make sure the lift is leveled (front to back and
side to side) then mark the hole locations into the
side supporting structure. Remove the lift and drill
out the four 3/8" holes (there should be two on each
side of the lift).
c. Once the supporting structure is ready, raise the
lift back up in the ceiling and secure each hole with
a 3/8" fastener.
Important: If the width between the mounting hole
and side support is more than 1/8", spacers should
be inserted between the ceiling structure and the lift
to fill up the gap (see figure 5).
