ASSEMBLE THE ROLL-UP CONDUIT
The roll-up conduit runs the length of the curtain or cover
and serves as the center pipe that the curtain or cover
wraps around when opened. Skip this section if it does not
apply to your application.
Gather the parts:
• Pipe and Tek screws (additional purchase or
customer-supplied)
Complete these steps to assemble the roll-up conduit:
1. Locate all sections of pipe.
2. Insert the swaged end of one pipe into the plain end
of another pipe until the conduit is assembled.
NOTE:
For easier handling, assemble longer conduits
(40' and longer) in short sections.
3. Secure each pipe joint using a Tek screw.
4. Place the assembled conduit at the base of the
shelter or frame where the curtain is located or will be
installed.
TWIST-OF-THE-WRIST: GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The instructions below describe how to assemble and
install a single Twist-of-the-Wrist assembly. The procedure
is repeated for additional assemblies (if applicable). A
curtain is used in the example. These steps can be easily
adapted to other applications such as a main cover or end
panel. (The purchase of additional parts may be required.)
The basic procedures to assemble and install the Twist-of-
the-Wrist include the following:
1. Assemble the roll-up conduit. (Additional purchase
may be required.)
2. Attach the curtain to the shelter or building frame (if
applicable).
3. Attach the roll-up conduit to the curtain or panel.
4. Assemble and attach the Twist-of-the-Wrist.
5. Install the Anti-Billow Rope system. (Additional
purchase is required.)
6. Test the operation of the Twist-of-the-Wrist.
5. Continue with the procedure that follows to attach the
curtain to the shelter or frame.
ATTACH CURTAIN (May not apply to all applications.)
Gather the parts:
• Curtain (additional purchase or customer-supplied)
• Tek Screws and washers (additional purchase)
This procedure describes loosening the main cover of a
building similar to what is shown and attaching a curtain
under the edge of the main cover. The main cover is then
reattached over the top edge of the roll-up curtain to allow
for proper water drainage.
Different applications require different installation
procedures.
It is the customer's responsibility to determine
the best way to install a curtain.
For some buildings, a
portion of the main cover can be used for the roll-up side.
Complete these steps if applicable:
1. After assembling the conduit, take the curtain and
unfold it on a clean, smooth surface near the frame.
2. Loosen the edge of the main cover if needed and
attach the top of curtain to the frame using Tek screws
and Fender washers. Evenly space the Tek screws
every 12" for best results as shown below.
NOTE:
If frame is wood, use wood screws.
3. Position the main cover over the top edge of the
curtain and secure as needed.
