If you cannot lock the circuit breakers in the off position, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

2-4. Use a 3” wood screw to pierce two holes in the ceiling gasket that match the pilot holes you drilled in step 2-1.

2-5. read the lead wires from the outlet box down through the hole in the middle of the ceiling gasket and hanger bracket.

Note: e ceiling gasket should be flush against the ceiling.

2-6. Place a flat washer on each of the two 3” wood screws and pass the screws through the slotted holes in the ceiling plate into the pilot holes you drilled.
