Tapers are accomplished using a small customised panel,
which results in a slight variation in the installation process,
please familiarise yourself with the standard installation before
proceeding.
The Lifting gear is now attached to a standard central panel,
which can be identified by a) having no weatherstrip at the
bottom and b) having the slots on the bottom edge to connect
with the tapered panel.
Tracks are assembled as standard with the only difference being
that one vertical track needs to be cut down to accommodate the
uneven floor. both vertical tracks need to start from the ground
and end level with each other. Cut the track as necessary from
the ground end.
Assemble the tapered panel as shown in Figure 78 - the 2
spacers required are to be cut 10-12mm long from a white link
pin and fitted one to each side as shown. Insert into tracks as
shown in ‘Installing bottom panel’ on page 19.
The lifting panel is different from that shown on page 12 in that
there is no weatherstrip (it’s part of the taper panel) and slots are
present to connect to the tapered panel.
Assemble bottom hanger as shown in Figure A and b on page 13.
Modify bottom hanger as in Figure 79. The bottom hanger will thus
sit slightly higher up the panel than normal, so as not to interfere
with hinging movement. Also no wheel or links are connected at
the bottom as shown in Figure 80 when these as attached.
Simply assemble lifting panel onto the tapered panel as standard
as shown on page 19 ‘Installing Additional panels’, see Figure 81.
