Is there any way to level the unit if placed on a sloping basement or garage floor?

The unit has no built in levelers...no 'feet' to speak of. You will probably need to use shims to level it....

No. It does not have any inbuilt mechanism for that. All you can do is probably insert a wedge. But again the plastic is not really that strong if it under more that reasonable load.

My suggestion is to put a piece of thick cardboard underneath the sloping section and that should level it.

I did not mount this unit and it works well on the floor. The floor was level, but you might want to secure it for additional security.

1. Be sure the rubber foot cups have the flat side down -- this will help level the unit and minimize sliding. 2 - tale legs apart and reassemble tightly. 3 - use unit on a flat surface using a firm chair (like a kitchen chair). Past all that I don't know.

Yes, it's just a matter of hanging it correctly. Put the large "eye" screw thingees in place, and then, to level it, use a home depot purchased chain at the topmost part to level it with the bottom. I've got a related situation where I'm thinking about putting another one in a different location, but there is no proper beam to connect it to in the basement. So, I'm going to connect it a beam partially recessed under the ceiling, and get a chain to connect to the "eye" screw thingee, then level it. I'm sorry if I'm not clear. But I think it's workable for you with a vaulted roof. Yes, it's just a matter of hanging it correctly.

I responded earlier, yes you can, but for best results make sure that the unit is balanced, I use a level to make sure it is.

Not adjustable, but you can put some felt pads underneath to level, that is what I did.

These are stabilizer's and are not designed to be used to level your unit. If you raise the unit beyond stabilizing the jack screw will bend and will no longer be useful.

Hi there. Yes, from my personal experience, I have one unit on 2nd floor, 1st floor and basement in my home. Hope this helps.

It has adjustable screw in feet that will give you the ability to level it. I guess you can raise it up off the floor about 3/4 of an incn.

You could probably find some that you could mount on the bottom but you need to keep the unit stable and level.

I have it mounted about a foot above the floor, no issues. It's a very self-contained unit so mounting shouldn't matter that much, it's make sure the space in front is clear.

Sorry, but ours is fine. We made sure to place it on a level place. Have you checked your manual for instructions?

If you call the company, they will tell you that the unit needs to be perfectly level in order to function. A table or floor is better than a carpet.

Yes. my ceiling was sloped. i bought a down rod at Home Depot (I think it was 12")

Are you sure the unit is properly assembled? Either your adjustment bar is bent, or your placement needs to be backed off a notch (possibly both!). Either way, your "level position" isn't where you think it should be. Find that position and go with it!

Yes, unit is designed for sloped ceilings. You might need optional longer mounting rod for steeper pitched ceilings.
