Amico Ceiling Column Motorized Retractable - Manual (Page 11)

Mounting of the Ceiling Column
Approval Signature Date Phone No.
Remove the outer and inner access panels from the ceiling column.
NOTE: The gas hose(s) and electrical conduit(s) have been wrapped and attached to the top of the ceiling
column to maximize the smooth movement of the lower telescopic portion of the ceiling column.
Remember the location of the attached electrical conduit(s) at the top of the ceiling column. Do not cut free the
bundle(s) of gas hose(s) and/or electrical conduit(s) inside the ceiling column. Cut the cable tie(s) holding the gas
hose(s) at the top of the ceiling column and pull the gas hose(s) into the ceiling column. Do not cut the cable tie(s)
holding the electrical conduit(s) in place at the top of the ceiling column unless there is absolutely no room for the
installer to attach the conduit(s) to the appropriate junction box(es) on the riser plate. Cut and remove the excess
length of conduit(s) that is not required to attach to the appropriate junction box(es).
NOTE: The smooth movement of the retractable ceiling column will be aff ected, if the above notes are not
followed.
Remove the (4) nuts and fl at washers from the bottom of the riser plate and hoist the ceiling column onto the riser
plate. Ensure the open access panel of the ceiling column is aligned with the access panel label on the riser plate.
Secure the ceiling column into place with the (4) washers and nuts. Ensure the ceiling column is level. Attach the
conduit(s) to the appropriate junction box(es) with the ceiling column fully extended. Ensure the electrical conduit(s)
are coiling around the handle shaft with very little slack as it heads up towards the top of the ceiling column. Attach
the gas hoses to the appropriate outlets in the riser plate. Slowly retract the lower telescoping portion of the ceiling
column and ensure that the electrical conduit(s) and gas hoses do not interfere with the smooth movement of the
ceiling column as it retracts. Extend and retract the lower telescoping portion of the ceiling column a few times and
ensure that the electrical conduit(s) and gas hoses do not get pinched by the springs, the lower telescoping portion
itself or the riser plate mounting bolts.
Remove the plastic fi lm from the access plates.
Attach the inner access plates onto the lower telescoping portion of the ceiling column and test the movement of
the ceiling column to ensure that the movement is smooth. Attach the outer access plate onto the ceiling column.
Remove the plastic fi lm from the mounted ceiling column.
Attach the (4) ceiling trim plates at the top of the ceiling column.
There will be four (4) 1/2” - 13 x 8” threaded rods attached to the riser plate. Each rod contains four (4) 1/2” nuts, four
(4) 1/2” washers and four (4) nylon retaining washer.
