Page 18: Part 3: Install The Eyelet Screw
Part 3: Install the Eyelet Screw NOTICE If your MyLifter is mounted parallel to the stud, the eyelet screw must be placed on the same side as the unit's power plug. This prevents the fully raised cable from contacting the MyLifter and causing cable damage. - Page 19 5. If your ceiling has drywall, tighten the eyelet screw until you can't see the screw's threads, then turn the screw three more complete revolutions. 6. If your ceiling does not have drywall, tighten the eyelet screw just until you can't see the screw's threads.
