TWIST-OF-THE-WRIST ASSEMBLY (continued)
18. Use Tek screws and fabric clips (customer-supplied)
to secure the curtain to the conduit.
Space the fabric
clips evenly along the conduit for best results. May
not apply to all applications. Additional purchase
necessary.
19. Attach the crank handle to the Twist-of-the-Wrist
assembly. (Curtain is not shown in the diagram below.)
20. Test the operation of the Twist-of-the-Wrist assembly.
Drawing may show a different but similar application;
the same operation technique is used.

Roll-up conduit is
not shown in the
diagram.
NOTE:
If the curtain rolls in the desired direction, but
you want to turn the crank in the opposite direction for
the same result, unbolt, reposition the gearbox, and
remount it
on the same side of the mounting bracket
.
Verify that the curtain rolls in a direction that allows
water to drain off of it as shown in the example above.
21. Continue by installing the anti-billow rope.
INSTALL ANTI-BILLOW ROPES (ADDITIONAL
PURCHASE REQUIRED)
Gather the parts:
• Anti-billow rope
• Tek screws or wood screws
• Fender washers
Anti-billow ropes secure the roll-up curtain when it is in the
down position. The procedure that follows describes using
Tek screws (or wood screws) and Fender washers to wrap
the rope around. The screws are installed into the frame or
pony wall.
If this type of installation does not work for the application,
additional parts may be required and must be supplied by
the customer.
Complete the following steps to install the anti-billow ropes.
1. Using the Twist-of-the-Wrist assembly, roll up the
curtain or cover panel a few inches above the ground.
2. Install the first screw and Fender washer into the
building frame at the base of the end rafter where the
Twist-of-the-Wrist assembly is located.
3. Move up the same end rafter or frame support and
install another screw and washer.
NOTE:
Do not fully tighten the screw and washer
against the frame or rafter. Allow space for the anti-
billow rope to remain between the washer and the
frame that the screw is attached to.
The diagram above shows the screw locations on a
building where the anti-billow rope will be installed.
