STEP 19. The directional handle and threaded rod will fit roofs up to 5-1/4" thick. If you are using wedges to compensate for roof/ ceiling slope, be sure to allow for this extra thickness. You may add an extension to the directional handle for thicker roofs. Each extension will increase the length of the directional handle by 2-1/4".

directional handle to the hub.

 

STEP 22. IF YOU ARE USING AN EXTEN-

Hub

SION, adjust the total length of the directional

 

handle and extension by cutting the directional

 

handle. After adjusting parts for proper roof

 

thickness, glue the extension to the directional

Worm

handle. Use ABS (plastic pipe) glue.
