PLAN INSTALLATION STORAGE OPTIONS Pull Jeep into garage with object on Jeep rack. Measure height of object. Make sure object can be stored above or below the open garage door. Measure length of object. Plan to position Hoister so garage door can open with object lowered. OpenedOpened garagegarage doordoor OPTION 1. Above garage door: Make sure there is enough clearance to lift and store object above open garage door. OpenedOpened garagegarage doordoor DIAGRAM 1. Plan to position object above Jeep with clearance to open garage door. If Hoister is mounted too close to garage door, there may not be clearance to open door. Mounted too far forward, object may not balance or lower onto Jeep. OPTION 2. Below garage door: Use if not enough clearance for above garage door storage (Option 1). Object has clearance to lift and store below open garage door. OpenedOpened garagegarage doordoor 5 STEP 1 CONTINUED: DETERMINE HOISTER LOCATION; RAFTERS RUNNING FRONT-TO-BACK B.
