13. Fabric Tracking And Final Tension
13.1.
The TESS systems can be fine tuned to ensure good fabric tracking and long life. Tracking
may need to be adjusted during product life.
The fabric when being retracted back towards the barrel should remain in position on the
barrel. The fabric should not move towards one side. Long fabrics might move towards one
side and then back towards the other.
Taking care that the fabric does not crease — Deploy and retract system several times
to give accurate indication of tracking.
Adjust the fabric tracking as required by loosening the mounting screw and
repositioning the tracking plate (this can be carried out at both sides).
13.2
Tensioning Tool – Supplied in fitting kit

Recheck fabric tracking.
INFORMATION
Do not over tension system.
The system is over tensioned if the spring cassette is locked. Simply check this by
pulling onto the tension cable to check for free movement of the spring cassette cable
spool.
