two pieces angle iron that are each long enough to
span at least 2 rafters, using
5/16-18 hardware supplied in the Hardware Pack-

(with the Power Winch secured) to the
ceiling at the center of the feeder line.
See Figure 7. The Power Lift Winch
Support must be parallel to the feeder
line and must span at least 3 rafters in
