5. The recommended total load on the device must not exceed
75 pounds.
Miscellaneous
1. The 500 Series track may be manually operated for short,
curved runs and light weight curtains. For long curved tracks
with single or reverse curves, motorized operation is
recommended. A variety of curtain machines are available for
use with the 500 Series track. Please consult the factory for the
one most suitable for your application.
2. Manually operated tracks with reverse curves will operate
with difficulty. The amount of effort required to operate the
drapery system is dependent on track length, configuration, and
weight of drapery. Most 500 Series tracks with reverse bends
require motorization to operate efficiently.
