For models with wood ends – Open two small knockouts in
each metal end cap and attach wood with wood screws
provided into predrilled holes in wood ends.

into the screw retention yoke (Fig. 3-A) until it is captured and
can not be slid back out. Mark the locations of the eight 1/4”
diameter-mounting holes (Fig. 3-D) on the ceiling.

Take the channel down and locate the ceiling joists with a
stud finder or punch a small hole into the ceiling at each
location using a nail or an awl to see if there is a wood joist. If
there is a joist use a suitable wood screw (not included) (Fig.4-
A) to mount the channel. Where there is no joist to screw into
use a ¼” toggle bolt (not included) (Fig.4-B) of suitable length
to mount channel securely to the ceiling.
5
Pull the supply power wires from junction box (Fig 5) or power
supply through the appropriate knockout hole into the fixture.
Secure fixture to ceiling with appropriate mounting hardware
