How to install the Garage Power Station (GPS1000/GPS1000C)

The Garage Power Station MUST be RIGIDLY fastened to structural support on the ceiling using lag screws. It may be mounted to a single joist or across two joists.

To install the Garage Power Station

1. Select a mounting location for the Garage Power Station within 6 feet of an electrical outlet.
2. Use a stud finder to locate the joists where the Garage Power Station will be mounted. Mark the center of each joist.
3.  Mounting holes for the Garage Power Station are 16" apart. If the distance between each joist is 24" on center, mount the Garage Power Station to a single joist.
4. Mark the mounting holes 16" apart and drill 3/16" pilot holes in the center of the joist(s).
5. Remove the screws on the task light covers and remove the covers. Unplug the green ground wire from the terminal on each task light cover.
6. If you do not have a 6" socket extension, remove the Garage Power Station cover (4 screws) to access the mounting holes.
7. Place a washer and small rubber isolator on each lag screw. Insert each lag screw through the mounting holes of the mounting plate.
8. Place a large rubber isolator on each of the lag screws behind the mounting plate.
9. Position the Garage Power Station over the joist(s). Insert each lag screw into the pilot holes and tighten lag screws with a 7/16" socket wrench with extension (do not over tighten).
10. Insert a light bulb (not provided) into the light socket and turn it clockwise to secure. Slide the light bulb into the retainer ring on the task light cover.
11. Reattach the ground wires onto the task light covers.
12. Reinstall the task light covers, insert the bottom tabs, press into place, and secure with the screws.
13. Plug the Garage Power Station into the electrical outlet.
    • NOTE: The excess power cord may be wrapped around the back of the mounting plate.

To adjust the Cord Stop

The cord stop acts as a stop for the retractable work light assembly and activates a switch to turn off the system. The cord stop can be adjusted to allow the work light assembly to hang at different heights.

1. Loosen the four screws on the cord stop.
2. Slide the cord stop along the cable.
3. Tighten the screws at the desired position.
