WARNING
Please read installation carefully prior to installing. Before using the
product thoroughly test the fully-weighted product (with equipment in place)
to ensure the product has been installed properly. Do not allow children to
play on product. Proslat is not responsible for any damage resulting from
improper installation, overloading or product failure.
- Measure the distance between the handle bars and seat of the bike. Most adult bikes are between 32” and 36”, we suggest install-ing your hoist a maximum of 48” apart.
- For kayaks or similar items, we suggest 6’ apart.
WARNING
It is important that your hoist is attached to a solid wood ceiling joist. The joist must be 2” x 4” or larger.
STEP 2
Verify which way your ceiling joists are. Hoist brackets can be mounted
parallel or perpendicular. Use two wood screws each to mount the back pulley
and the front pulley to the ceiling, ensuring the distance between the two
matches the measurement made in step 1. Pre-drilling 1/8” pilot holes in the
ceiling will make mounting the pulleys easier.
STEP 3
Attach pulley brackets to ceiling mounts.
STEP 4
Untangle your rope. Each end of the rope will be tied to a ceiling bracket on
the hoist. The left side will be used for one set of pulleys, the right side
for the other. Start by threading the left side rope through the brake device
as shown in picture below. The left side rope will go through the first
pulley, then to the second pulley, down around the second hook and up to the
ceiling bracket. Once through the hole in the ceiling mount, tie a figure
eight knot right after the hole and then a double knot around bolt. Thread the
other end of the rope through the right side, down around the first hook and
up to the ceiling bracket. Once through the hole in the ceiling mount, tie a
figure eight knot right after the hole and then a double knot around the
bolt.
STEP 5
Use two wood screws to mount the rope cleat to the wall. When the bike is up
to the ceiling, the excess rope should be stored in the cleat.
OVERHEAD WARNING
Make sure that there are no obstructions to restrict operation of the bike
lift.
USING THE BIKE LIFT
Hook the bike handlebar and seat with the hooks and be sure the ropes are not
twisted (for bulky items, attach nylon straps to hooks). The bike can now be
raised to the ceiling by the pulling rope. The rope will lock in place with
each pull, preventing the bike from falling. For safety, tie the rope on the
cleat and wind the excess rope around it. DO NOT CUT THE ROPE.
LOWERING THE BIKE
Pull the rope down at 90° from ceiling bracket maintaining tension on rope.
The tension will keep the locking mechanism open and the bike will be able to
lower. Slowly let one rope out at a time as the bike lowers. Once the bike is
low enough, remove it from the hooks and tie the rope back to the cleat.
KAYAK OR SIMILAR APPLICATION
For use with nylon straps, hang each end of the strap on one of the hooks. You
can adjust the length of the strap at the buckle.
