Step By Step Instructions 

To tighten the brake, use a 3/16” allen wrench 

to turn the set screw inside the jam nut in the 

clockwise direction.

To loosen the brake, use a 3/16”

 

allen wrench 

to turn the set screw inside the jam

b

 nut in 

the counter clockwise direction.

After  adjusting  the  set  screw,  retighten  the 

jamb  nut  while  holding  the  set  screw  with 

an  allen  wrench.    There’s  a  corresponding 

brake on the opposite side of the rope reel.  

Adjust both brakes equally. 

The non-motor brake should be tight

 

enough 

to  prevent  the  cover  from  rolling  off  the 

roll-

tube  faster  than  it  is  being  pulled  into  the 

track.    To  adjust  this  brake,  use  two  7/16” 

wrenches to tighten or loosen the bolts in the 

brake block.

If you need to adjust the brakes, first loosen 

the  jamb  nut  on  the  side  of  the  rope  reel 

mechanism.
