If you cannot lock the circuit breakers in the off position, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel. 2-1. Drill two pilot holes into the wood support structure through the outermost holes in the outlet box. The pilot holes should be 9/64" in diameter. 2-2. Align the slotted holes in the ceiling plate with the pilot holes you drilled in the wood support structure. For proper alignment use slotted holes directly across from each other. 2-3. Place the ceiling gasket over the ceiling plate so that the slots and the raised surfaces on the ceiling gasket align with the slots and holes on the ceiling plate. 2-4. Use a 3" wood screw to pierce two holes in the ceiling gasket that match the pilot holes you drilled in step 2-1. 2-5. read the lead wires from the outlet box down through the hole in the middle of the ceiling gasket and ceiling plate. Note: e ceiling gasket should be flush against the ceiling. Tighten the screws into the 9/64" pilot holes; do not use lubricants on the screws. Do not over tighten.
