anchors can vary for each installation.

ALSO - BEFORE YOU BEGIN :
1. Beams are too heavy to lift manually and require lifting equipment. Check for
availability of overhead attachment of chain fall or of fork truck before you start.
2. Before you will be able to complete the installation the unit must be operated. Power
to the motor (even if temporary) is required. Arrange for power before starting
installation.
