INSTALL THE DROP-DOWN CURTAIN (continued)
Install Curtain Conduit and Attach Rope
After installing all eye screws and pulleys, locate the curtain
panel, 1/2" conduit, 1/8" rope, FA4652 screws, and duct
tape. Refer to the parts list on the previous page if needed.
Complete these steps:
1. Unfold the curtain panel along one side of the shelter
and position the conduit pocket along the baseboard.
Dashed line shows where to position the pocket of the
curtain panel. Roof panels are not show for clarity.
2. Take one 8' section of the 1/2" curtain conduit (106816)
and insert the plain end (not the tapered end) into the
curtain pocket.
3. With the first conduit section in the pocket, add another
8' section to the first (plain end over tapered/swaged
end) and tape the conduit joint using duct tape.
4. Continue adding conduit sections and taping each joint
until the conduit is as long as the curtain panel.
5. Complete the curtain conduit installation by cutting
the conduit so that it extends from the panel pocket
approximately 1" at each end.
Tapered/Swaged End
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. Roof panels are not show for clarity.
