Pre-Installation Installation
Having decided on hooks, chains, cables or other mounting
method, have mounting prepared before opening box.
Do not mount screen against walls that might rub fabric. 1. Remove screen from box by lifting roller at the ends. Be
careful not to permit lid or any tools to fall on screen. During
installation handle unit only by ends of roller and top header.
Do not grasp around fabric –do not rest unit on fabric.
2. Remove wrapping paper and unwind ropes.
3. With the screen lying on the floor, install the clamps on the
reinforcement tape on the header as shown in Figure 2.
Clamp assembly is shown in Figure 1. Drop the closed loop of
the turnbuckle in the slot of the clamp before inserting bolt.
Each clamp uses three bolts and nuts. Do not tighten nuts
any more than finger tight. Make sure the ends of clamps do
not push into the fabric. Pulleys at each end of header must
be in the vertical position, when hung for proper operation.
4. Adjust top header in fabric pocket to the 2-1/4" and 3-3/4"
position shown on the drawing.
5. Hang the screen in place at three, five, or seven points.
CAUTION! When this screen is shipped from the factory,
there are 2-1/2 turns of rope around each end of the roller.
Make certain that this is left unchanged to insure good
operation.
CAUTION! Before dropping fabric make certain ropes
at end of bottom roller do not overlap. Overlapping of
ropes will cause rope to work inward and thus damage
the fabric.
