1 Ceiling Mounted Component Bolts

These instructions refer to any GE-supplied ceiling-mounted object.

  1. Acquire and place an appropriately-sized ladder under the ceiling-mounted component.

  2. Remove any ceiling covers and ceiling tiles to access the pedestal base.

    note: For the more detailed steps, please refer to the option installation manual.

  3. Verify that the mounting plate and pedestal base are securely bolted.

    • If the mounting plate is loose, inform the customer to have their contractor check and repair the structural integrity.

    • If the pedestal base is tight, confirm that the bolts that were marked at install have not moved.

    • If the bolts were not marked at install, mark the bolt and plate using a permanent marker.

    • If any loose hardware is detected, use a torque wrench and re-secure. Add a new visual inspection mark.

  4. Inspect the arm assembly and confirm that the assembly is tight.

  5. Check the safety spring (1) exists and the retention screws (3x2) at the arm assembly joint are tight. Tighten any loose hardware. The retaining clip (2) is very important to hold the arm assembly.

  6. Check the component end and confirm that the mounting hardware is tight. Tighten any loose hardware.

  7. Reinstall all removed covers and ceiling tiles and store the ladder.
