Scissor Lift by Draper

Installing Optional Ceiling Closure Panel— Size "B" or "E"

If your Scissor Lift is equipped with a "B" or "E" ceiling closure panel, it can be used as is, or in conjunction with a piece of existing ceiling tile.

➀If installing with ceiling tile, you may need to cut tile so overall dimensions are

the same as (or slightly less than) the closure panel. Place tile into trim frame. Lay closure panel on top (back side) of tile & tighten screws to hold in place.

➁Attach provided angle brackets to side of bottom of Scissor Lift.

➂For larger units, attach short angle brackets to ends of long angle brackets.

➃ Attach 5/16" threaded rods to angle bracket.

➄ Run unit “up” until bottom pan stops at highest position. Mark position on 5/16" rods even with ceiling level and cut to length (remove from pan if convenient).

➅ Run unit “down” until bottom pan stops at “show” position.

➆ Attach closure to lower end of 5/16" rods by slipping into four corner slots and secure with nuts above and below slots.

➇ Run unit “up” again to highest position. Measure distance by which panel fails to reach required “closed” height for surrounding ceiling.

➈ Run unit “down” then re-adjust mounting of 5/16" rods in traveling grid to raise panel required distance.

➉ Test unit operation to conﬁrm that panel will stop in closed position just before touching ceiling.

NOTE: Immediately upon completion of the surrounding ceiling, unit should be operated to conﬁrm that optional ceiling closure panel stops just short of touching ceiling in closed position.

Installing Optional Ceiling Closure—All other Sizes

Your Scissor Lift can be equipped with an optional ceiling closure system. To install it:

➀Remove closure and all mounting hardware from carton.

➁Optional ceiling closure can be mounted in either of the following styles:

A.If ceiling tile is to be inserted in the closure, this may be done now, or later when the rest of the ceiling is installed (permitting a better match). Cut tile so that its overall dimensions are the same as (or slightly less than) the closure panel. Attach to the closure panel with adhesive.

B.Position one pre-cut aluminum tee along outside edge of panel so arm extends under and rests on the panel (or tile if tile is being used). Be careful not to compress the tile. Drill three holes through rib of tee into edge of panel and pop rivet into place (or use self-tapping screws).

C.Follow same procedure with remaining 3 tees.

NOTE: Since tees comprise part of exposed trim, care should be taken to ensure accurate ﬁt.

➂Attach two (2) mounting angles to the corresponding holes in the bottom

pan with the supplied hardware.

➃Attach other two (2) mounting angles at 90° to previous angles (right to left) in the corresponding holes with the supplied hardware.

➄Attach one of four 3/8" threaded rods by passing the rod through one of the four corner holes, in the angles and secure with nuts top and bottom.

Approximately ½" of rod should extend above angle.

➅Run unit “up” until bottom pan stops at highest position. Mark position on

3/8" rod that is even with ceiling level and cut rod to length (removing it from

pan if convenient). Cut remaining three rods to same length.

➆Run unit “down” until bottom pan stops at “show” position. Secure all four 3/8" rods to traveling pan in same fashion as ﬁrst one.

➇Attach closure to lower end of each 3/8" rod using two remaining nuts on each rod to ﬁrmly clamp ﬁxtures on top of panel.

➈Run unit “up” again to highest position. Measure distance by which panel

fails to reach required “closed” height for surrounding ceiling.

➉Run unit “down” then readjust mounting of 3/8" rods in traveling grid to raise panel required distance.

NOTE: Rods should not extend more than 1" above the angles attached to the pan. Cut extra rod off if necessary.

The Scissor Lift is available with a ceiling ﬁnish kit, which consists of the lower section of the plenum housing (trim frame) and the closure panel.

➀Install Scissor Lift as previously described in these instructions.

➁Install trim frame in opening. This can be accomplished by suspending with wire or mounting directly to ceiling joists (if space permits).

➂Install projector and attach optional ceiling closure panel to Scissor Lift. See above for appropriate ceiling closure instructions.
