INSTALL THE DROP-DOWN CURTAIN (continued)
Install Curtain Conduit and Attach Rope
After installing all eye screws and pulleys, locate the drop-
down curtains, 131S075 conduit, 1/8" rope (CC5505),
FA4652 screws, and duct tape. Refer to the parts list on the
previous page if needed.
Complete these steps:
1. Unfold the curtain along one side of the shelter and
position the conduit pocket along the baseboard.
Curtain is longer than the length of the assembled
frame. Curtain can be trimmed to the desired
length before or after installation depending on
preference.
Dashed line shows where to position the pocket of the
curtain.
2. Take one 131S075 conduit and insert the plain end (not
the tapered end) into the curtain pocket.
3. With the first conduit section in the pocket, add another
conduit to the first (plain end over tapered/swaged
end), secure joint using an FA4482B Tek screw, and
tape the conduit joint using duct tape.
5. Complete the curtain conduit installation by cutting the
conduit so that it extends from the curtain pocket as
desired.
6. Align the curtain and the installed curtain conduit with
the end rafters of the shelter.
7. Position the curtain conduit at the base of the
baseboard along the outside of the frame.
8. Measure the distance
from the curtain conduit up to
the axle conduit
mounted to the frame and add 12" to
ensure that the chord length is sufficient.
Diagram above shows where to measure to determine
cord length.
