TWIST-OF-THE-WRIST ASSEMBLY
Gather the parts:
• Aluminum channel (#102570) and drive handle
(#102480)
• Gearbox (#103496) and gearbox double drive
(#102717)
• Mounting plate (#103544) and bearing assembly
(#102569)
• Threaded rod (#FAK26), 3/8" nuts (#FALB04B) and
washers (#FAME08B)
• CC6212 fabric clips (Use half for each side.)
• 5/16'' machine bolts (FAG336B) and 5/16" nuts
• Drill and drill bits
The Twist-of-the-Wrist Assembly is designed to roll up
a portion of the sides of the cover. The following steps
describe the installation of one assembly.
1. At the end where you will attach the gearbox, drill a
5/16" hole through the cover conduit 1/2" from the end
of the conduit.
2. Insert a tubing adapter into the conduit and align
the holes of the adapter with the drilled holes in the
conduit.
3. Select one aluminum channel and drill a 3/8" hole
through the channel approximately 2" from the end and
attach a threaded rod to the channel using a 3/8" nut
on each side of the channel.

4. Position the channel along the rafter at the desired end
of the building where the Twist-of-the-Wrist assembly
will be located. Place the lower end of the channel
an inch off the ground to allow free movement of the
channel during the operation of the roll-up cover.
5. Secure the upper end of the channel by drilling a 3/8"
hole through the end rafter and attach as shown. The
lower end of the channel will "float" and is not attached.
NOTE:
Install a 3/8" flat washer between the 3/8" nut
and the end rafter.
Frame shown for illustration.
6. Select the bearing bracket and attach the bearings as
needed. (In some instances, the bearings may come
already attached.) Assemble as follows if needed:
Single bearings are attached to the sides of the bracket
and double bearings to the middle portion of the
bracket. Use 1/4" hex bolts and locknuts as needed.
Install a flat washer on both sides of each bearing to
insure proper operation of bearings and the assembly.
Install the longer bolts with bearings on the side of the
bracket that has the two holes. Install these
before
installing the double bearing assembles. See the
figures below.
7. For the spacers on the long bolts, insert a 5/16" nut
over each bolt.
These nuts are used as spacers only.
