The optional ceiling closure can be used as is, or in conjunction with, a square of existing ceiling tile.
1If installing with ceiling tile, you may need to cut tile so that its 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 ceiling tile, and tighten screws to hold in place.
Lipless Closure Option is available by removing the Trim Ring from the Closure Panel.
A substrate material (ceiling tile, gypsum board, etc.) can be attached directly to the
Closure Panel using adhesive, double-sided tape or screws. NOTE: Make sure the added
weight of the substrate does not exceed the stated weight capacity of the lift.
Substrate should be installed so that it is centered within the finished opening in the
ceiling, with a gap of no less that

" around all edges.

" rods even
with ceiling level and cut to length (remove from pan if convenient).
5Run unit “down” until bottom pan stops at “show” position.
6Attach closure to lower end of rods by slipping into four corner slots.
Secure with nuts above and below slots.
Caution: Make sure nuts are completely tightened.
7Run unit “up” again to highest position. Measure distance by which panel
fails to reach required “closed” height for surrounding ceiling.
8Run unit “down” then re-adjust mounting of rods in traveling grid to raise panel required distance.
9Test unit operation to confirm that panel will stop in closed position just before touching ceiling.
Caution: DO NOT hang from, "ride" or pull down on the unit.
This could create a failure and cause damage and/or injury.
PLEASE NOTE: Immediately upon completion of the surrounding ceiling, unit
should be operated to confirm that optional ceiling closure panel by Draper or
by others stops

" short of touching ceiling in closed position. If closure
panel touches, the motor may continue operating after the lift is closed.
If it continues to cycle once the lift is closed, a motor failure may occur.

For Additional Safety:
1Be sure the nuts that attach the threaded
rods to the closure panel are tight.
2Wrap a plastic wire tie around the mounting
tab and the threaded rod at all four corners
of the closure panel (Fig 9).
Please Note: Do NOT use a
paper-covered or similar wire tie—
use only plastic wire ties for
