Caution:
During installation and adjustment
of coupled shades in headboxes or
pre-existing pockets; fingers may slip,
potentially causing severe cuts and/or
scrapes. If possible, wear gloves that are
flexible enough to allow adjusting the metal
wheel but strong enough to protect hands.
1.
Verify proper location of coupler bracket
assembly:
A.
Installer #1 attaches operator end to
operator end bracket/endcap assembly.
B.
Installer #2 slides the coupler bracket
assembly onto the coupler shaft of the roller
assembly to be installed, and holds in place.
C.
Verify and mark location and set fabric/
roller assembly aside.
2.
Install first coupler bracket assembly to
mounting surface.
3.
Ensure the operator-end fabric/roller
assembly's coupler shaft is completely
retracted
(Fig. 1)
.
4.
Raise first fabric/roller assembly into place.
While Installer #1 inserts the operator end
of fabric/roller assembly into the operator-
end bracket/endcap, Installer #2 lifts the
coupler end up next to the coupler bracket
assembly, then extends the coupler shaft to
the intermediate position by rotating the ring
clockwise about
1/3
of a turn
(Fig. 1)
. This will
hold the first unit in place during installation
of the next panel.
5.
Connect power so the shade can be
operated and adjusted.
6.
Operate the unit to ensure proper fabric
tracking and to set up and down limits
(see
sections on limit adjustment and field adjustments)
.
7.
Raise shade to upper limit.
If unit has three
(3)
or more panels:
1.
Install the next coupler bracket assembly to mounting
surface.
2.
Ensure that the end of the previously-installed coupler
shaft is flush with the outside edge of the bearing.
If it extends beyond the bearing, retract the coupler
shaft of previously installed roller to the intermediate
position
(Fig. 1)
.
3.
Lift both ends of the intermediate fabric/roller
assembly into place and align between the brackets/
endcaps.
4.
Installer #1 fully extends coupler shaft of previously
installed roller by rotating the metal ring clockwise ½
turn when viewing the face of the coupler assembly
(Fig. 1)
, until the shaft extends fully into the receiver of
the fabric/roller assembly being installed.
Caution:
Ensure that the metal ring is fully rotated
counterclockwise
(as viewed facing the coupler assembly)
before operating the assembly. Momentarily lift each
roller simultaneously and separately to ensure that
the spring-loaded shaft is not in a bind and that it is
fully extended into the height adjuster mechanism.
The roller may fall if the shaft is not fully extended.
5.
Installer #2 extends the coupler shaft of the fabric/
roller assembly being installed to the intermediate
position so the end of the shaft is flush with the
outside edge of the bearing.
6.
Operate the unit to ensure proper fabric tracking.
7.
Lower the unit
(all shades will operate simultaneously)
to
lower limit.
8.
Fabric panel heights can be adjusted so that the
bottom edges of the fabric panels are aligned. On
large units, this procedure should be done on only
one panel at a time to minimize the amount of fabric
weight that must be supported during the adjustment
procedure.
9.
Repeat for additional intermediate panels.

Idler End
Fabric/Roller Assembly
1.
Verify proper location of coupler
bracket assembly.
2.
Install idler-end bracket/endcap
assembly.
3.
Retract coupler shaft of previously
installed roller to the intermediate
position
(Fig. 1)
. Ensure that end of the
coupler shaft is flush with the outside
edge of the bearing.
4.
Lift both ends of the idler-end fabric/
roller assembly into place and align
between the brackets/endcaps.
5.
Installer #1 places the idler-end
sliding shaft onto the idler end bracket
or endcap
(Fig. 6)
. Lock shaft in place
by placing retaining clip on shaft.
6.
Installer #2 fully extends coupler
shaft of previously installed roller
by rotating the metal ring clockwise
(as viewed facing the coupler assembly)
about ½ of a turn
(Fig. 1)
, until the shaft
extends fully into the receiver of the
idler-end fabric/roller assembly.
Caution:
Ensure shaft is locked in
place with retaining clip on shaft.
7.
Operate the unit to ensure proper
fabric tracking.
8.
Lower the unit
(all shades will operate
simultaneously)
to lower limit.
9.
If needed, the fabric panel heights can
be adjusted so that the bottom edges
of the fabric panels are aligned. On
large units, this procedure should be
done on only one panel at a time to
minimize the amount of fabric weight
that must be supported during the
adjustment procedure.
